Roof lining,

Just had a quote for a full replacement of my mk1 escort hood/roof lining in the repro 'crater' vinyl, look identical except for being off white not yellow and stained and ripped etc.
Just wondering if $400 bucks installed is good?
I feel its very reasonable, given the only other quote was about $1200. He will remove and install onsite.
 
If it works out I'll share the details.

    my 2 door mk1 got done in moon crater off white for $330 installed, including visors, so $400 is pretty much on the money.

    I get mine for $150.....but they not as original. I get them done in seat trim fabric, hence the cheapness....and i fit them myself.
    I take the original 'dead' lining to a trimmer to copy...easy as !
    If i could drive a sewing machine which was given to me i'd try making 1
