A year ago my car went through a flood (dont make me post the mold pictures again), I was not about to let my car get totalled so I decided to restore, and switch over from tan to black interior. I put new carpet in bleached all the panels and i had to do alot of work to the bay. But today I just finished the second half of the resoration.

Not yet im working on some ideas right now, trying to keep the back seat as much as possible but well see. Its better then having seatbelts that dont work at all and stuck in the down position

Couldn't u have a bar fabbed that goes across the car behind the seats, i know that is what a harness bar basically is, but you could have one in a position that allows people to get in the back but its a bigger pain in the ass to get back there.

Where did you mount the shoulder straps? Please don't say on the floor behind the seats. If you get in a front end collision, as your body moves forward they'll pull your shoulders down and compress your spine.

DONE! well as you can see from the start of this thread that this has been a long project starting with a flooded car. I just got a hold of some prestine black leather rear seats, and with these the whole interior has been replaced and redone.
