bought some new seatbelts for it but can't seem to work out how they will work in a 356 :?

think we are going to have to buy the fixed ones instead of the retractable ones

any help/advice on this would be most helpful....please.

yes thats what i like about them too. but, southbound didn't like the very 80s padded looking design (see photo of back seats to explain) of the interior.

not to mention that this was what Dave Nunn (southbound) found inside the seatsImage
