    Seatbelt Corrosion Repair?

    My SIII 88 has the common problem of bi-metallic corrosion at the seatbelt mounting points. Which is the easiest/preferred method to deal with the issue?
    1. Repair the existing body panels in place, and somehow isolate the steel mounting from the aluminum body work.
    2. Replace the two side body panels.
    3. Find a IIA tub without the corrosion and just swap it out.

        Replacing the tub took an afternoon.
        As long as all the bolts Come off
        I had to redrill the front frame holes.
        There a couple of inches off from the 2a tub.
        Ive seen people drilling spot welds and replacing
        Tub skins.
        If it was a series 1 or something rare
        I could see that.
        But not for a series 3
        Not a big deal at all.
        Good luck
