Beach Hop happened, mostly been a garage ornament since then a few local runs. WOF ran out too.
Went out in the mist this morning to warm it up for an oil change.

A couple of my old cars have the front middle lap belt done like that.
But you shouldn't need a front middle seatbelt according to the VIRM, just Static (or OEM) on the front outers.

All you should need is a receipt from the current owner I think, then work through the entry cert process
