hi all
does anybody remember who was asking for interest in getting new linings in original colours,i put my hand up but didn't hear anything is it still a goer trim 350-633 light green i think thats the correct number thanks
Aussieute,
The member that you are looking for is Stinky.
Keith
Things must be progressing, they just took a big wad of money off me :-\
The project is still a goer and I will be publicising when I have some firm delivery dates.
Final colours will most likely be Light Blue, Off-White, Cream and Light Green.
I am still after a sample of the Light Green too if anyone has anything to donate.
Hey Stinky,
Is the light green an FE colour, cause I have the headliner out of my 56 atm and could send you a sample?
That would be great, especially if I can hold of some that has been protected ie under the window rubber or tucked in the sides.
Hi Stinky,
How big a piece do you require?
Cheers
John ??? ???
As long as it's big enough to get a good idea of colour for a match, I would hazard a guess of at least 20mm sqare.
Stinky . As soon as the Light Blue comes available please let me know ( how good a match is the light blue ) ;) Cheers

I'll be letting everyone know when they are all ready (gotta feed the kids ;) )
I haven't seen any samples yet but they assure me they can do any colour and I have sent them excellent samples (thanks to various forum members) to work with apart from the light green.
Stinky,
You have mail.
Cheers
John

Thanks John
Desperate for some blue hood lining ,Any prograss prograss please Stink ;Dy
I am actually sweating on a reply to my request for an update :-\ as soon as I hear I will let the forum know.
Excuse my naivety but are these the FE swirly pattern or the FC star pattern? I'm chasing the creamy swirl pattern for my sedan.
Pinky
FE and FC Swirly pattern, the star pattern is EK/FB of which a "close" copy is available already. Close meaning there is a star pattern on the vinyl that are all the same size, whereas the original star pattern consisted of smaller and larger stars.
I got my update too, they are working on it, no dates or prices yet.
That's good. Every time I search for roof lining for my FE I can only find FC and the sample is always FB/EK stars. I've never been able to find the swirl any where. Look forward to getting my hands on some.
Pinky
Update for today, I called them direct this time.
From what I was told on the phone they are 2-3 weeks away from requiring confirm on the order colour amounts, then it's another week to produce them and then there's shipping.
At this stage I will be getting a roll each of Light Blue, Green and Off white.
Off White being the most popular from the Poll - http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,15998.0.html I may get two rolls.
There were quite a few votes (more than green) for the Cream colour, but I have yet to receive a sample, if anyone can help out with a swatch minimum 25mm square I would appreciate it.
I'll send you a piece, pm me your address & I'll send it off.
Ken
Thanks Ken.
Yeah me and I've already got it :P, thanks Stinky it looks great 8) 8), can't wait to see it fitted.
Pedro
Stinky i have been away for a while and i was wondering if any of the Light Blue hood lining has come in yet, and if so can i order enough to do my car cheers mate.
Nothing at this stage, the timeline I have been given would mean I won't see any stock until the new year, at least.
Stinky any news on the light blue hood lining ,just about ready to try and fit it . Or has any one got any light blue hood lining material they wont to sell.Cheers
Not as yet Muz, don't worry I'll be letting the world know as soon as it arrives as I have costs to recoup ;D
Any news on the off white?
They sent me an email with an image of the sample they ran off, last contact there was a delay to production (it's only taken a couple of years to get this far ::) ) so nothing at this stage.
Like I've said before, I have a lot of money and time invested already so I will be telling everyone about it the second it arrives on my doorstep ;D
Hi Stink,
Anything yet?
According to my last correspondance with the Supplier, a roll of the off-white should be in transit, for obvious reasons I am not holding my breath for it
Hi Stinky, not to tic everyone off but when these roof linings come avail are there going to be extras made? as I am interest in a off white? for my FE Sedan. Due to heaps of more important ??? and health issues !!!! I had to put the FE on the back burner, I have finally started getting back to my baby, just fitted new fuel tank so interior is next. Thanks
I'm bringing in a roll of the material, so when it lands on my doorstep I'll let the forum know. My plan is to sell by the metre and as pre-made roof-linings.
Great ! Thanks for that. 8)
Well I got a notification from UPS today when translated from German ??? it tells me that a 50+ pound package is on it's way to me!!!! YAY!!!!
Only problem is that it's been addressed to Lewiston, AT and not Lewiston AU ::)
BTW AT=Austria
you are a patient man Stinky. apprentices used to get sent to go and ask for a "long weight", but this is crazy ;)
look forward to seeing them, add me to the list for off weight :)
John
Patient is one word for it, I can think of several others.
Tracking back through emails my first enquiry was 21/04/2009 :o
Another small update, UPS is pretty quick! :o

QuoteVienna, Austria 13.04.2012 6:30 Departure Scan
you just wished it came with pictures of all it's destinations.
The customs stickers are gonna double the weight of it by the time it gets to Lewiston.
Could go around in circles, return to sender,or there is a Lewiston in Maine and Idaho.
lets hope it lands on Stinky's doortep ;)

QuoteThalgau, Austria 13.04.2012 13:40 Multiple errors exist in the address label UPS is attempting to determine the correct information to complete delivery / UPS will contact the sender and/or receiver regarding the status or disposition of this package
Hmmmm, No Sh*t there are multiple errors, ever thought about checking the address before it leaves the country ::)
Here's a little piece of the reply I got when I tried to explain the error, Yes they called me "Mrs" ::)
QuoteDear Mrs Glenn Stankevicius,
we thank you for your message.
In your matter please be so kind and contact your shipper directly - he shall please contact his local UPS for any further assistance.

and so it begins again, at least it looks like the right country this time and the email notification was in English, not German

of course for such well travelled rooflining vinyl, please expect to pay a high premium :P
So does this mean you will see it next January!!!!!!!,it would be nice of them to give you a delivery date and at least some sort of sorry for the stuff up.

[logged]Jim, you obviously haven't dealt with the US before, I was told they would "be on it"[/logged]
it is moving though

Hmmmm, just checked the Google Map, Kentucky is the wrong direction ::) unless they are picking up some Bourbon for me on the way through :D
Glenn, we use to buy a lot of gear from the states, never had the trouble you are having. Could it be they are outsourcing as well, could explain the troubles.
Jim
[logged]Yes I know, it really does depend on the supplier. Funny thing is I am not paying peanuts, but I still get Monkeys :-\[/logged]
it's still moving, closer this time ;D

Phwoar! They're on a roll! it's still getting closer
QuoteMelbourne, Australia 19/05/2012 9:55 Import Scan
Ooooo...exciting. Will there be enough to fill everyone request?
Pinky.
Somebody just shoot me now :'(
Vinyl arrived today, got the email it had arrived on my way home ;D
First thing I did was rip it open and............................................................................................... the bloody stuff is light blue! >:(
plus I got dudded 1/2 yard on the length.
So anyway, once I work out my costs etc I'll have a price, some pics and some light blue FE/FC Rooflining material for sale. Depending on the response I get from the supplier I may or may not be going further with this project ::)
:(
sorry to hear it Stinky.
Glad to hear that its here. Can you please reserve enough for a wagon for FErgus.
Let us know the cost when you figure it out thanks.
Cheers Stewy 8)
So hard to get good help, isn't it?
Sorry to hear it's become such a saga. Still, it could be worse; you'd find red hoodlinings hard to move. At least blue is a reasonably popular colour.
maybe they could do an Amazon-style return:
You keep the wrong order, and they ship you the right colour.
I agree with Stash, he is the one who stuffed up so he should supply you with the correct roll of off white (because it's what I need!!). It would only be fair for all the stuff ups that have happened during this ordeal. Does this now mean we will not see any off white or are you going to give him another chance. It would be a shame to see all your hard work go down the drain.
Regards Jim
Agreed Jim.
I need that off white as well! ::)
[logged]
QuoteDang. I hate all of this e-mail correspondence. Too much information for my production people to digest. I'll get them working on the white.
[/logged]
This quote might help people understand the situation that I am in :-\
I am getting them to run off some off-white, but as you can see they struggle with emails and have stated "white" ::)
I thought it was ordered from the states, not some third world country or maybe he is a backwater hick!!

Hi Stinky,
Any news on the white?
Pinky.
Nope ::) Waiting on a reply to my email :-\
Don't worry, so much time, effort and money goes into this process that I won't be keeping it a secret when it arrives ;)
I know mate. I'm sure its been more frustrating for you than anyone.
Everything else comes back from the trimmer next week and I'm just gettin' itchy.
Pinky.
