Good base to start with fela what ya plans for it

mpilk

first thing is to put the rad on to i can run it, ive been trying to sort the wireing out where its been bodged by the person who put the alarm and radio in, ive ripped the alarm out took the radio wires back to the original just got to work out where all the wires go ? might have to get a wireing loom as wires have been cut in all places dont want it to catch fire, when ive done that strip it to a bare shell and start sorting the body out
