w112 interior restoration

hi there,
I have to replace the interior roof trim of the 300se fintail. do you have a contact to a professional who has the reputation of doing a good job?

also I need to have the seams on the seats redone since the threads have hardened and break when one sits on them. Any names, addresses, anyone?

thanks,

Patrick

I'm sure someone in Ireland comes highly regarded but can't think who right now. If you are a member over at the official owners club there will be more info there I suspect.

thank you John, much appreciated.

In Ireland - no offence - I have made the experience that professionals or those who regard themselves being one, do not work to the same high standards and passion as I am used to from other parts of Europe. I live here and my lovely wife is Irish, but in many other respects I have maintained my scandinavian values...
I'd love to be proven wrong in terms of the services on this island.
However, in terms of skills, professionality - and passion for classic cars - the ones I've met and learnt of in Britain, they are second to none in Europe.

Best book a ferry and drive down to Surrey then

Seriously though, when i meant well regarded in Ireland I didn't mean well-regarded-by-themselves!!!! If I remember who it is I'll post it up.

well, you will see me over a few times before this project is being finidhed
..and I meant: no offence to the Irish, but... have you followed what has been going on here lately you know why all the good and best Irish are been found outside of Ireland - they have all emigrated...

...the to-do list continues on: have to rechrome some parts, sourcing the air pressure tank of the suspension, ... , and finally find someone brilliant to give the lady the right coat.

Don't worry, I have given myself a year or two until finished, if I'd be working too fast I would have to start on the next car too soon.
