Question on removing drivers side seat
It looks like I'm going to have to remove the drivers side seat in order to have access to the seatbelt mounting below it. If I remove the bolts holding the seat assembly in the car is there anything that's under the car that will fall off - such as a nut, etc. - or that I'll need to have access to the underside of the car to get to? I'm hoping I can just take the mounting bolts out and lift the seat out to get to the seatbelt mounting. Thanks!

If you look under the Car you can see the bolts sticking through the nut on the underside of the floor. The part of the bolt that extends past the nut is exposed to everything and is probably corroded, dirty and has some rust.
Before I tried turning the bolt I cleaned off the underside of the bolt and sprayed some penetrating oil on it, wiped off excess oil from fiberglass. That will help make it easier to remove the bolt. Of course it did this after I snapped the first bolt off! Just my 2 cents.
