Thanks. wasn't to bad. i used the original mounting studs in the front, but did modify the seat bracket by cutting one side and moving it inwards to match up. did require welding them. you could move the stud or drill a hole and nut and bolt it and it would work also. for the back, i drilled two holes per seat and bolted them in. i spliced into the wiring for the drivers seat for power to the pass. seat. the stock seatbelts do go right across your neck though, hence the fivepoints. on the pro side, the seats still go forward just as far, and will go back until they touch the backseat, which is great if you're tall like me...

please dont tell me you ran those belts, bolted to the rear floor!!! if you want a spinal compression.. then OK.. run them right.. they should be no more than 10* lower than your shoulder at the mounting point..

well, a spinal compression would suck i guess, but it's better than flying out the windshield wouldn't you say.lol as stated earlier, i'm soon going to install a cage to remedy the situation. most of my normal driving is done with the shoulder belts pretty loose anyways, so i'd probably break my nose before anything, but that's my decision.

i'm also aware that my extinguisher is not secured down in this pic, so don't bother, it's already been taken care of. at the time, it was better than watchin' my car burn to the ground.

Nice interior! Painting the bottle red would clean it up a bit!
