Love it. Looks really nice. Similar condition to mine by the sounds and looks of it.

How many k's are on it. Mine has been in the family for 18years. I'd like to keep it in the family for a long time to come.

Hahahahaha yeah people have told me to replace the indicators to the white but ...... :unsure: i want to actually keep the car so stock that it looks like it came out of the factory when it comes out of the garage ... if i purchase anything its because it will be meant for the model :DDD

Which is why im having such a difficult time with the headunit .. as i still love great music but i dont want to change the originality of it ... :thumbsup:

The 4 things i willl change are ...

1. thin original white wall tyres - not painted or flappers !
2. white venetians rear windows and side back windows .
3. speakers - but not visible anyway .
4. New full paint job white and grey including new chrome strip !!

.. of course keep the engine running smooooooth !!

i just put some pioneer 4" in the front and 6.5 in the rear of mine. sound okay to me as i didn't want a massive sounding set. beats cutting extra holes in things. sub in the boot for the bass

will look good keeping it original, if you need to go aftermarket headunit could try a remote one then install it in the glove box. that way it looks standard :)
