Hello to all :) and unsuprisingly advise is needed already!!

Firstly i would like to say that im very impressed with the time, passion, and effort that has gone into this site! TOP MARKS! As a newbie to the mk1 golf and the knowledge of it all im taking a shot in the dark as to whether or not im putting this in the right place, so here goes!
within the next week or so im looking to buy a mk1 golf gti 1.8 cabby. i have been buzzing about it for months now and it would seem like i have come to my first hurdle. ( and i don't even own the car yet )

see the situation is that the rear seat belts are only lap belts which are no good for my kids. upon research i have found that halfords sell a static 3 point belt that needs bolting in. so my question being, is this possible on a cabby and could i do an alternative job with retractable belts from a breakers? the main thing is that they are safe for my kids and also not damaging the car!  
so all this said, what do you guys think? cheers dub fans, Ben

Hi ben and welcome,
Cabbies have the lap belts fitted here but the 3 point ones were installed in the US spec ones. If you can get some of the parts from the US they need to be welded at the rear suspension turrets.
