Aussie or UK help needed

expat · 03-11-2002, 04:29 AM

I am after a full carpet set for my right hand drive 87 Cab.

Any of you guys 'Down Under' or in the UK have contacts/recommendations for this?

Want good quality eg Sliver German (I gather the domestic US carpet is pretty crappy).

Thank for any help.

Cheers
Mark

Heard that southbound trimmers on the UK south coast do the correct stuff. Obviously this is not cheap (approx £300-ish), and would cost a bit more to post.
Have bought the cabrio hood cover from them which was very good quality (worth the £325!!).

Might spring to them once the bodywork is done, and paid for.

Thanks Rob. Just spoke to them - their quote was £445 - I guess the price for quality and Porsche!

Still, this is the only lead I've got so maybe they've got my order!

I'll make sure they know who referred me - maybe in the future you can call a favour.

Thanks mate,
Cheers

Mark, try Wayne Hennig of Noosa Cats boat building fame here in Queensland.

He has several Porsche Cup racing cars that he strips for this purpose. I have heard he may have a couple of spare RHD interiors from totalled cars.

You could also try

or

Or if all else fails have a good trimmer custom make them using your old ones as a template.

How did you go organising a local p-car run?

Speaking personally,

The company I work for had a bad experience with Noosa Cat. I don't know if I should elaborate, but every opportunity was made to settle the issue, but it was left to us to complete. On the vendor's part, hands were wiped clean.

Working within Marine Enforcement, I too have had a little to do with their product as well, I certainly won't say anything on a public forum!

I just know that he has some RHD interiors available.

Thanks guys. I will heck these leads further.

Have been pretty successful organising a local run here in HK.

Have been placing fliers on P-cars for two weeks and put up a web site as well. Have about 10 cars I think for April 7th

All Porsche cars but not just 911's. I think its 3 @SC's, 3 @ 911 Carreras, 2 Boxsters, a 993 and a 968.

Yeah

Cheers
