Welcome to the forum!

"Klippan" inertia reel seat belts are about $110 each. Lap/sash (non-inertia) are about the same price or a little cheaper. Available from the usual auto stores, including Bursons Auto Parts, for example.

It looks like an aftermarket steering wheel might suit your bug; one example is SAAS, which are around $125, you'll also need a 'boss kit' to fit it, around $60. There are also cheaper wheels available ($50 up) and much more expensive ones. Some links:

The usual auto parts and accessory stores normally stock some steering wheels.

The dash depends on what you want or need to do.
