Plenty of security features added I hope and not taking it off road then, at least not the serious stuff.
Garage to keep it in? So the carpets stay dry.

It's looking good.
Are the rear seats original?

Sorry, I meant did if have those seats originally? Have you got seat belts via the correct mountings that go back to the rear cross member?

side facing seats do not require seatbelts, getting the correct mounting etc is more hassle than it is worth.

hi i will be fitting the rear seat lap belts i have HD tubular mounts that came with the seats i believe from a 110 so i will be cutting the seat belt mounts off and rewelding them in the correct position for my needs then using a M10 s/s bolts and installing a 5mm 150mm square plate inside the wheel arch where the bolts are located

This is the issue and why I am saying they are more hassle than they are worth. Because the tub is only thin aluminum to fit the bars correctly I believe there are Brackets on the underside that link down to the chassis similar with the front seatbelts number 3 below. I believe YRM sell them if you do not already have them

I thought the old side facing bench seats didn't, but the four individual ones did. Mine came with seat belts as original equipment (96 plate) so I'd presume they would be needed for the MOT test, on mine anyway.

No. Seatbelts in the back will only be part of the MOT if they are fitted ...
