Cleaned up the drivers seat, installed the new seatbelts, and took it for a little drive. So much fun driving this thing. Puts a smile on my face...

Very nice, just like mine, but I have a '79

In your video, you drive with the heater, Defrost, AND cool air vents all wide open.. just FYI Wink

I wish my under-seat mat material was as good as yours, I don't think it is available anymore, mine are duct-taped.

That's what you get when a 4 year old plays with all the nods.

Also picked up some really nice vanagon seats.
I was thinking about using the vanagon seats and using the plad fabric on them to match the interior. After putting them in they ride higher than the original seats so I think I'll just get my original seats upholstered.
Anyone want some nice seats?

Your Westy is really coming along and the vanagon seats look pretty comfy.
are they really too wide ?

You could always post them for sale on the Samba FOR A LOCAL pickup only.

Just a little wider but not too bad. I'm leaning on getting the originals redone since the vanagon seats are really nice shape and it would be a shame to change the fabric.
