You don't even want to know how much they are new from the dealer.

Well I'm sure new ones will be a tad bit cleaner, however, I only paid $130 for mine including the tires.


We used the SuperClean as a solvent in the seat mounting holes to get the grime out before we re-tapped them.

like $390 each from the dealer and then $60 each for the caps..... big waste of money

Driving around in harmesses on the street is a royal PITA.

Yet another thing I painted with that SEM Colorcoat I used on my steering wheel. It looks brand new (nevermind the patched crack).

indeed... i've been plannin on buyin a new one from the dealer, they aren't that expensive. I just bought a bunch of new trim pieces that should be here tomorrow for interior/exterior/engine bay... maybe next month. I'm torn right now, it's moving away from a street car and twoards a track car, but at the same time i keep spending time and money on restoration...

Your car is just such a POS Ted. Just bring it over to my house so I can part the thing out and put it out of its misery.

re you getting a roll bar? Using harnesses without one is a good way to crush your spine in a rollover. Looks good though

thats why he installed a harness bar..... Therfore in an accident the pivot point no longer pull you straight down but will pull you back... which does not compress your spine.

That is fine, but in the event of a rollover and crushed roof, there is no where to escape to. 3point belts allow you to be smashed forward and bent at the hip, If you are using a harness without roll protection you can get pretty screwed.

exactly, the harnesses do a good job of holding you directly in the seat, no sliding or moving around (which is what you want) so in a roll over, you get squished since you can't move sideways in your seat like the stock belts allow.

Limit your time wearing the harnesses to the track, besides as said above, it's a PITA to wear them on the street. you may think you look cool until you try and reach to adjust the radio ;)
