Anyway the deal is you find an '86 or earlier 900 with good belts at a junkyard and pull them, then most of the job is pretty much a straightforward swap, other than some modification or replacement of a couple trim pieces. If your headliner is sagging then get the headliner out of the same car you get the belts from and redo that one, if you can use the trim from that car as well you'll have a really slick complete job.
