Looks like great progress there.

Rust and mould? I wonder what sort of life it has had!!

Good luck with it - good to see it being brought back.

It had everything apart from tlc. Luckily the mechanical side is very good with a great service history

Wheel refurb, before it goes in the bodyshop? Hope they come back out mint!

What colour finish have they been done in at wheel specialist?

Yeah they came back perfect. Can't remember exactly what colour but I wanted something as close to factory as possible.

Had a full day trying to get the audio some thing like and I had a very productive day, here's my progress

Amps I'm position

Bolts fixed through to hold the box secure

Box finished with a skim of filler and installed with jl a audio w6

Before the false floor is going in, mouthed the amps like this so my spare wheelis still accessible

Floor in, just needs a finish with the router and trim and hopefully look decent.

Finally I installed the remote bass control, not 100% on the location but I'll see how it goes for now

Watching with interest. What's the story behind it, was it a write off?

Where did you run your power cables? Also, is the battery in the boot as I thought you're supposed to put the in-line fuse within 18" of the battery? Thinking of running the power cable up the centre of my interior as I want to wire all speakers to an amp so don't want interference.

Yeah it's a cat d which is a shame but what damage it had is probably no different to 60% of cars on the road that people have pranged. It's made a decent car though

The power cable was already ran but it runs down the passenger side, I have a single 4 gauge in the battery tray too. All my other cables are ran down the same side but not directly next to them.
