I wanted to personally thank you for this video. I needed new seats in my 70 Beetle and after watching this video I went out and got the seat and everything needed to do the job. They came out AWESOME!!!!!!!

Such a majestic grinding score.today at my local junk yard i found a hyundai with funky sporty seats had the same idea custom seat brackets.

Giving you A HUGE THANK YOU. I went to my pick your part place and pick up a pair of those seats out of a 2005. Made my mounts and installed them . Thank you so much for the video, i have had many vw bugs and always wanted to change the seats. Thanks again. About to change the ball joint wish me luck.

Awesome yeah they're great seats. Good luck!

I'm starting the process of renovating my 73 with the Ford hood. I bought her in San Jose California back in "85".. drove her until "94" ! ..... Thanks for the ideas and advise!

I like it! I am going to see if I can find a set of seats for my old '69 Bug. Thanks for the tips!!

Fantastic video. Has given me more insight for a seat swap. i have 2012 kia forte. i want leather and power seats. My main issue is the custom work. i do a lot of custom work but i dont dabble much into welding. im fantastic w my angle grinder and dremel however.

so glad i found this channel!

That Beetle looks good! Awesome vid men, very nice shots!

Nice pick for your seats I am putting Hyundai Genesis Coupe seats in my GVR4.

Excellent work as always!

Nice 🖒 Love the choice of music during cutting /Grinding

really enjoyed this video. Another guy used these seats and said you sit lower. I was leaning toward Mazda 3 seats, junkyard has both, same price..for my 73 beetle - same problem, 30 mph and you are sliding all over the place...

really good job,it looks amazing!!

Before I bought my Tiburon I actually went to the junkyard and sat in practically every car model and sat in them. I fell in love with the tib seats. Tho I had to scrap the car after literally everything broke at once so I'm about to put my old tib seats in my Firebird

Thanks. Gave me some GR8T ideas for (old school) bug seats... the OEM one's are IN$ANE. Cheers!

We have two! this is an amazing fix!

Nice, i just got 90 prelude seat to put in my bug this was helpful

Sweet, I've already done this a couple of years ago, mounted as low as possiblle, it was awesome. I also took the whole back seat from the Tiboron and mounted it in my Bug.

Velocity Labs Yes you must complete your work, not just half done 😉 You'll see the back seat fits pretty well, you just need to custom make something under the bottom parts back to hook it into, quite easy. the backrest needs something in the bottom to stick in behind the bottom part (there is already holes for bolts), I used two pieces of plywood 😆. The top parts (my seat had splitter backrest) rested against a 20x40mm pipe fixed to vw original holes in the sides. I welded on two "ears" on the rod so the stock Tiboron back rest locking mechanism works with its buttons. At last you need to custom make something at the sides to fill the space, you will see when you are there.

Nice video. I almost missed the good part at the end

Your boy Willy is the man💥

Are you gonna change that front end , (please do)

It looks horrendous, stock bonnet looks a lot better…

Thanks for posting. I have wondered about doing this on an earlier model. But, being the lazy guy that I am, why not use the sliders out of the Hyundai to avoid making new ones?

Man your cuts on that tube give me anxiety haha but cool vid and useful tips :)

GREAT SEATS BUT IN A VW JUNKER .I FEEL BAD FOR THE SEATS .I PUT A PAIR IN A 1980 VANCHARGER FULL TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE 300VAN RV.THE SEATS ARE VERY HAPPY

Glad you showed the relative hassles of getthing those seats out... lol well done.AND reading directions HA HA...

The part with the torch was hilarious

Today I learned the hard way that you ALWAYS have to check all measurements before buying something: I grabbed a nice pair of GTI MK5 seats only to see once I tried it to fit in that it and its track were way too wide to fit in the bug :( Guess I'll chase other seats. I'm thinking early 2000 Celica's.

Where you get the front struts.... nice idea for the seats....

Thats a good point Bro I was Thinking of getting them Cheap ass raceing seats from ebay for Bess, But yeah go back to the origional Idear of some from a wreckers Cheers

I’m struggling with removing the front seats in my bug

Nice! I was looking to see if someone had done Porsche 911 sports seats on a vW

What did you do with the old seats

Martin Born I believe it's usually a good thing to wait around an hour after cutting the electrics to not risk to blow your airbags so in this case there shouldn't be any worries. And I think you are actually on to something there when you talk about taking the airbag and parts out to save weight *thumbs up*
