The "radio controls on steering wheel" thread has pictures on removing the driver airbag.
thanks for the info on the seat belts, that only effects the ones that were pulled out and buckled?

Yea the radio control thread, was super helpful info in both the controls and airbag removal, 2fer, haha, like 2fers.

you are correct, this car literally was/is stock as stock can be, if crank windows was an option, it prob would have had them. her dad ordered the car where he could pay for it upon delivery... so it was very stock.

For that matter repairing the seat belts can be DIY, but we cannot recommend repairing them for liability reasons. He already has 2 friends with Tech2 and know-how.

I am getting close to the line by saying the bags and belts are a bolt on job. There is no real danger IF the battery has been disconnected for 30 minutes to drain the capacitors and no stray static electricity. The connectors are fail-safe. They don't use gun powder or caps anymore etc.

thanks everyone, their insurance agent FINALLY is sending out the people to look at the car on Mon/Tuesday... Bonnie (lady who hit us), her own agent called her a dumb @$$ for coming into oncoming traffic and hitting a stopped car...

hellshotrod i may just hit you up, not sure how much shipping will kill me to this coast from cali.

donbrew i plan on positioning the car in-front of my garage where i need it, and disconnecting the battery for a day or so, (cant really do anything till my hand heals from surgery anyway)

i wont be repairing the seat-belts, just replacing. most thing will be prob replaced so i have receipt proof they were replaced etc.

know more soon :-)
