April 10, 200422 yr comment_7571 Hi all........new to this forum and like what I see. I am restoring a 1974 KE35 Corolla Coupe with a 4K engine and 4 speed manual box. I still have a bit to do on it and I hope to get some tips and advice from here as I go. Anyone know where I can get new front seat belts for my pillarless coupe? Report
April 10, 200422 yr comment_7574 New seatbelts you'd be scatching around for awhile. Maybe Toyota. I haven't been able to find a set of aftermarket ones that have the extra length on the top... However, the blue coupe I mentioned in the email has a pretty good set of seatbelts in it... Report

April 11, 200422 yr Author comment_7644 Thanks for the welcome guys. Demuire put me onto this site (many thanks). I will try and take some pics to post here......never done it before, so no promises. The belts I have atm are pretty good.......just the drivers belt as a small ammount of fraying. Not sure if it would get by a roadworthy. the fraying does not go into the outer edge of the material....it just looks a little furry on the edge for about 4 inches. I am getting the bonnet and boot sand blasted today, so will be busy painting later this arvo. The colour of my coupe is a silver/blue. The closest match I could get is called Glacier Blue (chrysler/mitsubishi). I have painted the engine bay and valance in this coulour and am very pleased with it. This is my first attempt at restoring a car so I am far from an expert.....just very enthusiastic (my missus says obsessed). so to me...any improvement on the look of my coupe is better than what I started with. It was a neglected car that the owner had dubbed "the ugly car". Report

April 12, 200422 yr comment_7697 fraying is easy to fix with a decent set of sharp scissors. not that i know. of course. :D Report
