| I know prices can be all over the place, but what is a good price to have the interior (seats, carpet, side panels) done on a ghia. Not going stock but doing something custom. The headliner is already done. I'm getting quotes from 2k up to 5k. Thanks. |

Check out SEWFINE. They can make seat covers, door panels, etc. in most any style you want. You install them yourself and save some $$$...not difficult to do at all.

i was inspired by greg's garage on youtube
i took my old seats and door upholstery off and had the wife use them as a pattern. the material i used was automotive grade vinyl and tweed and cost about 300 dollars at a fabric store.
you can do this. its part of the adventure. |

The prices that you were quoted for custom work are not that far off the mark.
In Ohio I had Bill Webner at the WagonWerks rebuild and recover my seats. He also did the door panels. I ordered a wool squareweave carpet kit from Lenny Copp at West Coast Classic Restoration and installed that myself. The work was done in 2005-06 and the total including carpet was $3200.
corniglio did a real nice job! If you have the skills and the vision (I don't) you could save some $'s by doing it yourself
