Well I did have a project thread before but I sold the car. Thankfully, I've redeemed myself and bought it back!
So here it is in it's previous form:
I sold it just over a year ago, then realised I'd made a massive mistake.
My mate phoned me the other day to say that the bloke that bought it (his partners brother) was selling and did I want it. Well I offered him a lot less than his asking price and picked it up that weekend.
So it's back:

So I'm going to get the W&D on it and then the mop, hopefully this week.

EVERY wire in the car was twisted together... Including the remote cable for the amp...

Speaking of which, look how thin the wire he used for, erm, part of it was:

If a wood screw through the boot floor isn't enough, what do you do? Wedge a spoon underneath it, of course!

This stopped me wondering why the "sub" kept cutting in and out all the ******* time.
So, back in with my stuff... again. Luckily it was all cut to fit.

Then, brilliantly, I found it under the boot carpet with the clip that came off the back...

I also changed the window regulator too, as it still didn't work since the last time I owned it :lol:
Then I had a delivery...
