Seat-belts and turn signals

I'm one step closer to getting the car ready for inspection. Today I got the turn signals and brake lights working. Then I started working on the seat belt anchors. I am using a set of latches from a 944, because they were cheaply available and plug into the factory belts. I'm finding the biggest downside to starting with a salvage vehicle is finding out what is missing...
The seat is slid all the way forward in this picture, but the belt latch is easily reachable from the seat when in the proper position. I think this is nearly how the early cars were setup. Later cars have the belt attached to the seat. However, since these were modified aftermarket seats there was no place to attach the buckle. Still I'm making progress.
