Very nice work mate but I really think you need to change your belts, having them angled like that with them screwed into the rear bench is really not to safe or clever, if you have an accident they will NOT do their job properly I beleive and you could be in some trouble. Much better to have them on that cage, in the rear shelf (reinforced) or in the C-Pillar mounting point, I'd change them if I were you.

Other than that, top car!

i know what you mean about the angles where they are mount it pretty stong as they were the orginal holes for the rear mounts so.... and they and not the bolt on type they ar the clip ones clipped onto a ring so they can move
