The speakers were pure brock and requires changing due to 18 years of misuse, rear speakers repalcement was plug and play with a bit of adaption to the wiring, front speakers were a bit more tricky as you have no room to unscrew the holding screw in at the window, but again we got there and the car now sounds so much better along with a new Blaupunkt head unit, will post pictures starting this weekend with all new parts, hopefully now i have everything to proceed to stage 2, prepping for the paint job.
Still need OSF wing, front bumper and side sill decals along with the 14" alloys refurbed, will list my priority items later in the week
