> My question is where do I obtain close to original materials for this?? > If you want to see what the interior looks like, my '63 Squareback is a good example: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/scrapbook/63variant/ As far as I know, there is no exact match available. The black/white checker pattern (Silver Beige) is cloth and wears out quickly on the seats. I have seen several vehicles, including my '63 Notchback with a somewhat similar material, it can be seen here on my front seats: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/scrapbook/63notch/ This seemed to be a common replacement material in the past and may still be available now. The only time I have ever seen someone selling what they thought was "correct" 61-63 Type 3 material turned out to be 64-67 Bus Salt & Pepper upholstery, which is different. The floormats are also NLA. These wear out and end up ripping to shreads. My '63 Notch has 80K miles and the mats are worn in several places. I spent a few hours gluing them back together but they still have visible wear. I highly recommend anyone who has a 61-65 Type 3 with original rubber floor mats to get some additional Coco or other mats to reduce the wear and tear on your floors. As Jason said, the color names are listed on the NONA site, under "Resto Info". -- Everett Barnes everettb@thesamba.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
