The Kayu Ara Shop

Most of you vw nuts will know this place. its in Damansara at the Kampung Kayu Ara junction. Location:- Along the NKVE towards the toll from Damansara uptown, stay down to get to the Traffic light junction where you can either u-turn to Damansara Uptown or turn left to go to The Atria (Forgot whats it called). Pass the lights and you will see in on the left.

I managed to find seats for my bug. I had to scavenged the piles of parts that they had but i only found two 64 seats for the right and two 65 seats for the left. There where alot of post 70s seats in very good condition too but i wanted the 60s look. Well i did not want to come back again because the pre 66 seats are hard to find, so i bought one of each...

So now i have one right seat which is a 65 model and one left seat that was a 64 model... hmmm wonder if the 65 can be modified to look like the 64, or vise versa... actually there isnt alot of difference between the two, the most obvious being the top part of the seat is more curved on the 64 compared to the 65. As you can see in the photos below, the red seat is the 64.

As i mentioned in my last entry... i need the original bracket/runners to install original seats. The foreman cut out the brackets from one of the junk cars which i think was a 69 model. The body work/metal beaters should be able to weld the brackets onto the floor of my car. Ofcos the seats and the brackets will have to be restored first.

Seat covers will be one of the last things i do for the car. So for now i have to see about wiring the whole car..
