[Vwdiesel] 82 VW Rabbit with no lap belt

[Val Christian]

Lemme see...I think I have two front seats, for a 79.  Good condition
last I checked.  Black Vinyl.  No seatbelts.  They can be made available
to someone who needs them.  I'm between Buffalo and Rochester NY.

Your costly item will be seatbelts.  I wouldn't want ones from a 
junkyard.  They are old, and they may have been "used" (as in 
stressed and stretched).  New ones from the dealer will make you 
think about getting another car.

Dave, the 79 seats will have the mating clip to receive the male clip
from the 3 point harness.  As I recall the Deluxe (DL) seat frame is
different.
