60 series roof lining replacement

Hey all
I'm looking at an HJ60 to buy, seems an absolute steal - dead standard, engines freshly reco'd, everythings great mechanically except a few bushes and ball joints.
One thing
The interior has been on fire at some point, and everythings good except the overhead console, the headrests, the rear seat belts and the roof lining.

I was wondering how difficult it is to replace these? I can get a whole replacement roof lining for $100 if I remove it myself 2nd hand from a wrecker, but what about putting them in? Should I get an auto upholster to do it or is it pretty straight forward?

Cheers;
Keith.

roof linings can be fiddly to put back on. Have a go removing the burned one first and then decide if you think you can remove and then fit a good one.

An auto upholster could make you a new lining, how much that would cost I don't know. might be worth a few calls though.
