They come with seatbelt kits, as removed from the cars they came from. They're all black leather, since there was no other option (that I'm aware of) with a back seat.

Woops! I lied!
There isn't a bushing there in the door hinge - I was thinking about another car. For the Honda hinges, you punch/drill/cut/burn/etc out the old pin, drill the holes out while still aligned, and add a press-fit bolt with nut/cotter pin.
Either that, or just get a new set of hinges.

Ohhhhhhh, I totally wanted one of those!! Back in the early interweb daze (pre 1997), I found I could get one from an Australian junk yard, but I never bit.
Those seats would have been about the same as my (Dad's) VW Karmann Ghia backseat "running boards".

Well, I filled up today as was my routine
(filled up the same way and everything)
almost 51 mpg seems too good to be true but ill work it out as the weeks go by
I do EonC quite a bit (probably more than 25% of my driving)
Just going down the freeway today was 5.5 miles in neutral

5. So don't argue - just tell her she can't (as in "doesn't know how to") drive it.
6. Drain fluid - add synchromesh. If that doesn't fix it, it's a bearing. Trannys are cheap too, especially HF trannys.

Christ, are you married? I am amazed that some of the spouses here will even let you rebuild cars at home!
