I sat up in bed, bolt upright, this morning at 4:10 AM and remembered I hadn't been here to continue this story, in some time, and we left off at- now going back 35+ years. Just a few months back I realized this year will be 40 years of keeping after my blue '67.

I need to figure out where I left off, I'm thinking it was spring 1991, with the Memorial Day Bug A Rama, VW Classic and VW Jamboree on the horizon. And broken springs, loose guides and yet another cam and set of (WILD) heads.

I'll be back soon.

 Great!  Smiley
We, youngster, all enjoy those stories of wilder times ;-)

These were removed from a very early January 65 Beetle the seat bottom frames are early (58-64) the seat tops are correct for 65-67 they are solid with NO rust great springs and nice seat tracks both are missing the adjuster knobs (easy to find) the bottoms of the frames are not beaten down like most are when removed with a hammer they have no dings.  One seat is missing a seat cam as pictured the same seat is also missing the side pin where the top frame arm goes into also as pictured but I put a bolt thru it to secure it use as is and upholster or rebuild and paint/ powder coat to be perfect .... these will also fit up to 1970 beetles as the seat tracks are the same

I am asking only $300 OR BEST OFFER don't be shy o don't need them so any reasonable offer will be accepted

the new colour looks great, is it Porsche bahama yellow ore something else?
Thanks, Porsche Bahama Yellow indeed. Was planning to go for the Porsche signal yellow (instead of the RAL-Signal Yellow I mistakenly put on 14 years ago), but ended up choosing for the Bahama Yellow instead.

I'm back, after again a long pause.
Was hoping to get the car back way sooner, but ended up collecting the car at the beginning of February.
Car is painted and back in the garage. I'll post pictures later, but going to try to keep the timeline correct.

Here she is:

in the last 2 weeks I took some time to address some problems with the suspension that needed addressing. Front beam is replaced with a NOS stock beam with new bearings and dropped spindles. Need to check if the height is OK like that or if I need to pull out a (half) leaf.
the passenger side IRS mount was crooked by 3mm, so that needed fixing as well. also had a bent koni shock, so a set of new ones is installed.
