WOW! I finally managed to find a minute to update this thread! I have had a hectic few days with not alot except work and sleep

Anyway heres what i've done over the last few days

On sunday I started by changing the pads on the front brakes which took me longer that i'd expected. Either the person who changed the brakes last did up the calliper bolts unbelievably tight or they havn't been touched in so long and the bolts had seized :L

either way I managed to get the bolts off in the end although I did snap two sockets and a hell of a lot of heat from the blow torch before they decided to free up!

Anyway after that I checked the drums and they look pretty knackered too so will be buying some new shoes next week

I then spent around 3 hours fannying around trying to get the bloody radio to work. When I was getting close to throwing the bloody thing at a wall the old owner of the car happened to come down the drive to give me a spare set of keys he'd found, so I asked him if there was a problem with the radio wiring. He then said yeahh its very dodgy! I then went to the trouble of re-doing all the wiring for the radio myself, right from the battery and to all the speaker points etc.

I then plugged the radio in and the bloody thing still wouldn't turn on!!!!!

So thought it must be my wiring or the brand new radio i bought was broken, so i wired the radio into my dads car which i NEW the wiring worked on and it still didn't work!

So took the radio back yesterday, got a replacement and wired it in and BOOM! we have sound (finally) I was really impressed with the sound even though i only have the 6x9s and sub in atm

Anyway heres a few piccys (your probably bored of me droning on now. Sorry there aren't many my bloody phones been playing up all week. I will get some better ones of the radio etc and possibly a video :icon_lol:





Toby...more updates coming soon!
