    I'm honestly not that sure, the bloke i bought the car off was bit shifty, pretty sure it was done by a pervious owner cos he didnt know much about it

    as above definately needs a good wax, why not make a weekend out of it and give it a full wash/cut+polish/wax, and clean out the interior, the difference will be amazing

    yeah it wouldn't of been done properly but doesnt look all that terrible.

    the wiring from the jbs head unit to the speakers is pretty ####ed, whoever did it had no idea.. some of the wires are loose and held together by electrical tape.

    need to get it fixed up asap

    Yeah that'd be a must. You can't see the needle for shit haha

    I can't wait till I get around to doing the sound system in my car. Wont be anything overboard, but it'll be nice having a sub for some bass and speakers that can actually be used up loud in comparison to the crap thats in there now.
