Nice work Arf .

Quick update.
Bought some side bars and a bunch of stereo equipment of a mate whose acv has gone pop.




As you can see they are a bit hammered.

[arfur fox-acre]

I've given them a few coats of hammerite and will leave them a few days to harden up before a light sand and a few more coats.




Not looking for perfection just a bit tidier.

Next up is the stereo. I have amps to fit and sub woofer and more speakers but one stage at a time.
First then is the head unit. From single din to double. I've thought long and hard about losing the vents and I know others have the same dilemma but I have the stereo so I may as well and can always go back to single if I want.



Just for you Reg. Some quality wiring. If you want any tips just pm me.
Old unit removed I set about butchering the dash.



Now the cage fits.

If you flip this part upside down it still fits and operates the flap so I may be able to use it to duct the air back through the one vent . Like this I can aim it at me and have all the a.c.

[arfur fox-acre]

It's fits neater than I expected so I am very happy with that.

A fresh live from the ignition barrel and we are on.

I'm contemplating feeding my mini snes into it...not sure yet. I have to set the GPS up and the hands free microphone. Also I haven't done the usb charging ports yet either.
Just need to change my phone for an iPhone or a Samsung with screen mirroring and I'm sorted.

Cables will stay here for now.

Just the vent to pop in. Needs trimming as it wedges the radio over to the right but it's ok for now.

Love your build thread mate. Whats the cardboard for between the dash and the windscreen?

Thanks bud.
It's covered in insulation. The sun was coming in and I was squinting like a good un.

Any other parts for sale Arf? I need another ECU bud?

Is that a storage cubby Arf. Aftermarket or part of the plastics on yours? Has it got a part number bud?

[arfur fox-acre]

I can ask about the ecu
I will look for a part number. It's not aftermarket. It's covered over if you look at the last picture Not sure what it's for.

[arfur fox-acre]

Thinking on...it would make a great hideyhole.

This part here mate.
