Josie and Jefferson are back in the RDR Studio continuing work on Josie's 1973 VW Beetle. When we started this process, we believed this was a 1974 model, and ordered everything based on that idea. We didn't realize that VW changed the seats quite often on these and that we needed to check to verify year. Well, as it turns out, we learned a lesson. The seats we have are 1973 model year, in fact, the whole dang car is a 73, it was titled wrong, so all this time, we thought it was a 74, HILARIOUS.....
N-E-Way, the seat covers, more specifically the seat back covers, are for 74 model year, 1973 seats are a 1-year only , so we had to either go buy different seats or call TMI and get new custom covers made. Jefferson made a phone call and got super lucky to find a set of 74 seats, so we swapped our seat backs with the willing local, and boom, we can move forward, no harm, no foul. Ok, maybe a slight foul.
We will show the entire process of restoring these seats from old dingy black boring seats to shiny new fancy-shmancy seats that look so dang good! All with the help from TMI Products, who did an incredible job on these custom seat covers.
Speaking of, we keep saying these are custom covers, and they are, but that doesn't mean we had to jump through hoops are anything. It was simply a matter of filling out an online form with TMI and our covers were ordered. They will even send you real upholstery samples so you cna se the colors and feel the textures before you order. It was a very easy process, and well worth it, this interior is really clean.
