What did you do to your kombi today ?

I would if I lived over there  Mark,  I would love to do the trip but money is always the issue cost to get there there then accommodation plus cost of doing the work n supply.I thought there would  be some one  over here that would  like to do it ,but no go, those that I did talk to said that $1500 was fairly cheap ,so not sure how they would charge in Victoria. If anyone  has had theirs done recently  would like to how you paid for it .

Hi Chris,
You can buy them on line for $650 (not sure of the canvas weight) but that doesn't include the upside down aerobic exercise that's needed to swap them over. Bit technical also about the way you opt to do the canvas wrapped timber on the top rail. Bottom alum rail is easy after the top. Used original upholstery nails (which I did) or use screws (which I did after the pop top sucked up & released all the nails but didn't rip the canvas). It won't come off again ;-) . I've got heavy weight canvas this time.

I reckon $1,500 is fair.

Ask how they plan to refit the top timber rail?

Cheers
