Repro Door Trims

[hqgts]

hq trims were originally formed plastic... the repro trims are usually made of the thicker seat material.... im not sure if it changed from hj on...

i believe someone is currently making repros in original formed plastic material in black only at this point....

I have been told many times that the original style plastic used on the door trims is unavailable and too expensive to get reproduced..... and yes it was used on HQ through HZ.... if you have a source for black in the original style plastic please share.....

no source in particular.... but i spoke to a guy who advertises repro trims on evilbay in melbourne late last year about repro flax trims for my coupe..... conversation turned to original style repro trims and he said that another company was in the process of gearing up to make original type trims in the next 12 months... they would only be making them in black because the demand would be greater..

There is a mob in SA...... Dash Originals???? or something like that. They make repro door trims for $550.00 a pair. All I've seen is the pics on ebay but they look OK.....from a novices view point. I sent them an email back in October about the HJ trims and they said there was about a 6 month wait. They actually rang me last Tuesday to say they were doing a run of HJ trims and asked if I still want a set. Unfortunately the radiator in my Chev crapped itself ( after only 44 years..so much for quality ) and there went my door trim budget.....for now. The lady said she would ring me when they do their next run.

I have visited Dash Original and was very impressed with what I saw. I was quoted $880 for a brand new HQ dash, made with a fibreglass centre. They even have an original HQ dash to test mount the repo. Apparently the person who makes the fibreglass centres is very slow but very good and that they can take up to 8 months to deliver. A couple of seats I saw in the showroom looked superb. They completely disassemble the seats, repair and powder coat before recovering them. I did put out a request on a previous thread if anyone had had any dealings with them but had no response. I took a sample of the Doeskin I will need for my door trims and it looks to be very good material.

Sorry I missed your feedback request for Dash Original. I have had a few pieces repaired by them, and all I have to say is they are fantastic. Leonie is such a fantastic lady and she will eagerly listen to your car stories (even though she hears them all day!). Zig is all business, he has been doing this for years and is very 'matter of fact' and flat out, so doesn't chat much. But knows his craft extremely well.

I had a crash pad recovered and a dash fascia rebuilt! Results are here in my Shed;

Thanks very much for that, you have saved me a lot of time as I have much trim work to do. Any other Adelaide suppliers you recommend for bits and pieces?

I agree Blocker, Leonie is so wonderful to talk with considering she must take calls all day from people asking when their stuff will be ready. Such a pleasure every time I've called her before, during and after I'd ordered.

I'm waiting on a set of Black door trims for my HQ GTS/4 which should be ready fairly soon. I'd heard he was having time off, about 4 weeks around April I think. (was getting married or something) I chose to go with them because I'd heard about the quality of his work and was told it was definitely worth the wait.

Price I was quoted was $895 for a set of 4 which I thought was pretty good.
