Hey
I'm new to the site and will probably be using it a lot in the future. There is so much amazing info on here. I have an '88 GT vert of course with just the lap belts in the rear seat. I have to young boys enjoy the car as much as I do but the wife does not like the current seat belt system. I know there are guys out there swapping the rear shoulder belts with cars from 1990 and up. I love this car and do not want to give it up for a newer model with shoulder belts because they are so hard to find with decent mileage and condition. I have a cousin that owns a body shop and is able to do the work but I'm wondering how much work it is. He has already found a donor car, (93 vert), that I could use. From my research, people are saying theres cutting and welding involved and some say the verts are bolt on replacement. Where do they get installed. Also some say I need an updated rear seat and interior plastic molding. Is there someone out there who has completed this process and cam explain in some detail? Is this worth it or just a waste of time and money? appreciate the input.
thanks.
