Will the doors of a 1973 L Bug fit a 1971, 1300 Beetle?
Also the seats look like they have different runners. Is it an easy swap with some adjustments?

i "think" the only differences is the chrome / steel strip
Runners should be the same.
6V had a different dual runner and late 74L went to 3 point

Yep it will fit and as to the seats so will they unless the runners look different because of 3 mount runners from 74- but you will be able to tell if they dont look the same. From Dylan

the joys of vw parts interchanging 😎
all 68 doors are the same, the only differences are minor and cosmetic
the chrome strips are lower on pre 71 doors and the arm rest mounts changed in 73
same deal with the seats, 12/70 to 11/74 all use T runner seats and can be swapped
