How reliable are 20+ year-old airbags going to be?
I'd love to remove them and replace with pre-airbag components. The 9000 was designed to be safe without airbags and it is dubious how much they help if you're properly belted in to begin with.
It would be nice, there wouldn't be the worry about decades-old bags going off at some random time and the car would have the luxury of a glovebox! I guess that one would have to find a non-airbag steering wheel and a glovebox from an older 9000, though I don't know if there would be fitment problems. Also not sure what would be involved with the electronics aside from leaving things disconnected and putting a piece of black tape over the SRS light.
