Thanks guys,
Engine bay tidy up and corner tidy up going well.
Just fitting Bilstein shocks and spring to replace the 32 year old originals!

I may have the original Panasonic head unit out of my Mk2 GTI which i removed in about 1995, I'll have a look on Monday.

Edit - found it, been in the box for about 20 years!!
