    cant be done, the seatbelt mounts and seat mounts were removed as were the window motors , youd be better off selling it and buying a passenger one

    just carry some thing related to your job around with ya at all times in the jeep and they can't prove that your *not* going about your normal day to day business

    It can be done,
    I've seen many a commercial jeep with just the seats removed and a floor bolten over the holes. Seat belts mounts are usually just threaded out. Really depends on who done the conversion.

    Usually Window motors are left and place and just disconnected behide the door panel only a matter of plugging in.

    Cant be done is very harsh words.
    However you more than likely will be liable for VRT..

    the ssanyongs were converted at a dealer / distributers, not just a UK import sly conversion so they were all done by the book and the motors removed, same as the hyundai santa fe
