Hello from a newbie..

Hi all,

Just joined your great site as I'm looking to pick up a 1991 1.8 Clipper Cabrio soon and hope to get some advice on restoring it here. It will be keeping my daily driver company, a 2008 Mk5 GTi and joining a good list of VW's I've had before, the best being a 1.8 Scirroco GTX which I still regret selling!

I also wonder if anyone here has fitted 3 point seatbelts in the back of a Cabrio and could give me some tips on possible mounting points?

Many thanks!

Thanks guys, looking forward to taking the family out to some of the VW days this summer - I always like the Tatton show but this year I'm going to try and do a few more work permitting. Especially the GTI show.

Get yourself to the AGM….. it's a MK1 weekend!!!!!!

Hi Mate,

I have a Mk1 cabrio and have asked the same question regarding seatbelts, I believe the quick answer is "You can't".  There is no top point to mount a 3 point harness, however, I have seen racing style belts that mount on the rear cross member.  I think thats the way I'm going to go with it although I am open to correction or ideas should any one have any!

seat belts, check out crazy quiffs

Thanks. Spoke to them and it sounds ideal. They now have a photo on their site of them installed holding a child seat. Just what I'm after.
