Low back seats in late Type 3?
Anyone know if low back front seats fit directly into a late Type 3?
What should I expect to pay for a decent set?
Go easy on the slang - I'm not quite sure what I'm doing...
I'm into early Type 3's and Ghias. Never owned a VW or anything older than MY94 for that matter.

yes they will fit up to 72 and drop straight in.
73 have its own 3 point mounting type of seat.
Worth? I have no idea. never liked them never bought them, I stick to high back

Seat base of the late seat and change the back. (from memory the late seats are the same as a Mk1 Golf)_

you mean the 73? I thought they were the same as the super?
why change the top from the base when up to 72 still used the early plastic rails
low back.
71-72 high back.
73 high back. Sort of can see it.
71 notchback,

I think lowbacks were stock on an Aussie 1970 and 71 at least so they should drop right in.

looks like base color may well depend on interior color?
