Ben-
You may want to think about this one a bit more. The early seats were
smaller, and less supportive than the later type. Additionally, to adjust
the incline you were required to remove a couple of bolts - no adjust
mechanisim like later B's. There are several firms that offer leather seat
kits for the later cars. Re-covering B seats with one of these kits is a
very easy DIY job.
As for the headrests - I can go either way. They aren't there for comfort,
but safety. If you're ever re-ended they are intended to minimize whiplash
type injuries. However, I agree that looks are improved without. If you
really don't want them, I would suggest taking them off, but keeping the
newer style seats.
FWIW-

Chris
