hey i went to classic motor trimmers today. some guy quoted me 2500. for the door inserts, front and back seats, the gear and hand break boot, floor carpet, and the repairs to the vynil. what can you do?? i wasnt after anything fancy just normal cloth and the inserts done in red.

thanks

Hey man sorry its taken me so long to reply i been flat out:(

okay i usually do the door inserts for about $60-$80 each. So theres about $250.

front and back seats work out to about $1300 atleast. Skylines are a bit of a mission to trim because the original covers are glued down 90% of the time. Ive done a few of them so i can do them for a decent price but most trimmers will probably quote pretty damn high. Depends really i guess. A trimmer told me today he recently quoted $1800 for front and back seats in a silvia. So yeh it really depends who you see and who can do what etc etc.

through an average trimmer you'll be looking at about $100+ to do the hand break and gear boot, i can do the pair for about $70, and yes ive knocked out LOTS of them haha.

Carpets ide say roughly $350. Give or take.

and repairs to the vynil...? yeh gota be more specific there haha

Thats how everything adds up, at the end of the day it depends whos trimming your car and what sort of a job you want done.

Enjoy:)

If you got an more questions or need any more info give me a call - 0422148875

not suede buddy, its Alcantara. not sure exactly what that is but its artificial leather, i think they use it cos its very light and the supperlegga (spelling ?) is all about weight reduction. its a very expensive high class material though

Can you do trick work like trim my centre console lid in black leather with red stitiching R34 gtr style?

Yeh mate like i said before i can do anything with material:) console lid with black leather and red stiching is as good as done, i can knock that one ova for you this saturday if your intrested. Let me know

hey mate i just wanna do my doors, hand break, and gear boots, and the repairs to the vynil and maybe just the rear seats. could ya give me a price, with and with out the rear seats.

Hey i duno what you mean by repairs to teh vynil? you'd have to send me a pic of show me on your car. rear seats i can do for you, depends on what sort of material etc. can range from about $350-600 on average. Same deal with the doors, around $60-$100 each depending on what material is chosen. I can do your gear boot and hand break boots for $40 each. If you can get a few boots together i can do them for $60 the pair.

    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
    • I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.
    • Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.
    • Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
    • Is the UP Garage in the US of Ayyeee even the real UP Garage?
