headliner headach

[Gman86]

hey guys new round these parts, baught my 1st ever VW after the volksworld show, some of you may have seen it, at the show and on here, its a 68 blue panel van (got a window and vent in the sliding door), the body work is good no real rust good repare welds, etc. only the dash was in a state and other than front seats there is nothing in it, im currently rebuilding the dash (just waiting for parts to come in) and Iv baught a full length vinyl headliner with all the bows but having done some research im now considering returning it and fitting a ply headliner. will it be cheaper and where can i get the fitements for the ply headliner? I will get round to getting some pics up soon.
any help is appreciated Thnks Greg

Hi mate, do you have a rail running the length of the bus on both sides? on mine the ply slotted into the rails and then i added a few screws to keep it sturdy.

Also i have just fitted a new dash, not sure if you have rescued yours or bought new? if you have bought new beware that they dont just bolt in :roll: you have to modify to fit - come to think of it, you have to modify to fit everything you will ever buy :shock:
