Hello,

I maybe purchasing a 1987 Syncro to use primarily to go from school
in Cambridge, MA to my family's home in CT.

I have some questions and came across this list on the internet.

I would appreciate any advice/answers that I could get.

*Please note* I am not subscribed to the list so if you are nice
enough to reply please sent them to me at "aichaudh@mit.edu"

If I buy the vehicle then I will definately subscribe to the list.

Thanks in Advance!

Sincerely,
Atif I. Chaudhry

Well here are the question:

1) 3 point seatbelts??? Is it possible to get 3 point seat belts (the
ones with the shoulder strap) installed for any (or all) of the back
seats?

2) New seats?  Is it possible to have the first row of seats in the
back replaced with two bucket seats facing the back? Also is it possible
to get a table to go between the two seats facing back and the three seats
that would still be facing forward? How expensive would this be? (again
being a student I don't have lots of money) :(

3) Getting the body painted?  The vehicle I'm looking at is orginally gold.
The owner has black primer painted on some spots to "prevent rust" as he
put it.  How much would it cost to get the vehicle repainted and at the same
time would it be possible to get an anti rust coat of something to be put on
it?? (being New England I'm really concerned about rust...)

4) Any suggestions on where I can get any or all of the above done?? Or is
any of the above stuff I can do myself??
