You're 4 months late.. i gave away the original seats after storing them for 30 years and figured i'd never use them.

OP,
That paint job looks great! Now the fun part comes. Bolting it all together while hoping you don't scratch the paint!

Good to see you are back on it! That is the nicest paint I have seen on a Bug in a long time!

Beautiful paint job. Those pans look just like the Dansk ones I just put in my '74 Vert.

Yes and that was a source of confusion for me until I spoke to my son who did the bodywork and paint prep on the car who told me “ya, don’t you remember I told you that the trunk had a different paint color underneath?” So it’s a bit of an an oddity with the older trunk lid but that’s ok.
