Yeah Ive done a few headlinings. Only on HB and HC vivas though, never done a HA.
I get the material from Woolies trim, its not cheap but its the right stuff and makes the job much easier. You can use a standard sewing machine, I use a tesco cheapy one.
Id think about having a go yourself, its not really that difficult. Just be methodical and use the original as a template but give yourself extra material on the edges so you have somthing to pull on when its fitted.
Ive seen the work of a company in Glasgow somwhere, they werent cheap and I wouldnt give them a bike seat to retrim!!
I had never used a sewing machine before I did mine so theres not much skill involved, just a fair bit of time.
