    Finally made time for the audio part offshore the car. First time in probably 25 years There is a stereo set in it ended up With pioneer speakers in front, 6x9 back and 2x12" subwoofer in the trunk. Kenwood headunit and Phoenix gold monoblock 1200w and Phoenix gold 4 x200 watts for the speakers. Sounds gooooood

    Finally got the aluminium rad put in, got the hood back from the body shop and installed it, gave it a nice wash and it's now ready for summer cruising (y) all done.jpg

    LOL.. looking at his posted picture.. we must have a completely different opinion of what a "chick" is.

    [​IMG]

    But.. I suppose in the scheme of things that grandma in the pic who can't seem to take her eyes of Paul's shiny new sex machine could be considered somebody's "chick".

    Don't usually post here other than to provide comic relief^^^^.. or insert some smartassery type remarks.. BUT.. I actually made some progress on something you can physically see on my car for once.

    Stripped out the old carpeting and much of the interior in preparation for new red carpeting install and a good old fashioned vinyl dye freshening. NOT looking forward to glass removal and headliner install though. Not even in the slightest. :disagree:
