[QUOTE=jks;698023]Buckles are probably under the seat cushion..[/QUOTE] its missing the entire middle belt and the metal clip on the n/s/r belt, go scrappy tomorrow

Sorry Frankie, I have to laugh because you buy all these old Volvo's, you love 'em to bits and spend so much time on them yet I chuckle because you took it in for an MoT Test with a fuel leak, no rear seat belts and emissions off the scale. It's almost as bad as restyling the suspension mounts with an angle grinder and then plastering them in black paint...... ;) :B_thumb:

Post 698125 by AndysR on 2014-03-25 21:33:05

Bad times, nothing too difficult to sort although I bet your regretting cutting the springs now... Lol
