Hi,
we are slowly restoring our recently purchased 74 L Bug. We are after various parts including

Front Seats -
Door panel inserts (the coloured bits, front and back - preferably cream or black)
Steering Wheel - does not have to be original type - just needs to fit

We are sure to find many, many more things which will need fixing as we go along, so if you have any spares let me know and I will check if we need to replace ours.

Just be a little careful with the parts

74L bugs fell right on a cusp of parts.

Late 74 steering wheels had a smaller spline shaft then early. look the same except about 1-2mm different diameter

Seats can be the same as well.
Very late in 1974 came the 3 point seat bases.
These are difficult to find

Hopefully you just have the 2 T rails

The seats are easy to tell - steering wheel not so.
Do you know your vin number.

It "should" be 134XXXXXX

i use the 69-72 style in my Lbug theyre much better looking than those 73 on sqaure ones

just gotta get the bracket things of some old doors and fit them to ur own doors

the spot to put them is already marked out on the inner door skin
