Struts look good man. What model are they off?
Headunit looks pretty era correct but not stock. I think I'm going to make up a fake original looking face to go over the pioneer unit I have in there currently.
Good timing, I just came back in from the shed haha. The struts are VL wagon boot struts. Quick tut here. Instead of the VL boot struts ball studs (cause I got my struts new from Autobarn) you can get the ball stud for like $3 each part code MLSMP351.
Had a mate around earlier who likes to do a bit of 4x4-ing and he suggested turning the struts around, otherwise they are prone to collecting dust/dirt and letting that into the cylinder and wrecking them. Gonna do that in a little bit myself.
How did you wire your head unit in? Did you just solder all the wires to each other or wire them into a connector and plug it in? I'm sure I can wire them straight in to everything, but I don't want to do that and then have to rewire everything in a few month's time when I start thinking about converting this to a v6.
What ideas do you have for faking up a front?
