Default Few Q's please people

Trying to get the car ready and is getting there but a few questions

1. Still need a sunroof lol
2. Audio mate came over and how can i fit 4" speakers in front pods with out damaging them and how do the attach to the car? See there should be two clips and a screw but no clips
3. Bought a standard stereo but now been told i need the standard amp too? Correct? Anyone got one to sell?
4. Bought a trip computer and its fitted but where would the loom be? Was told they are there on all cars but any idea where its tucked??

Cheers all, cant wait to get it ready and meet some of you

1, sunroof pm somebody that is braking a car in the for sale section or look on ebay for rs turbo breaking etc

2. cut the speaker grill out and mount speaker on the outside should be easy for an audio guy really or id be looking to get somebody else, as for the clips again pm somebody breaking, ebay or even ford,

3, standard stereo? sort of defeats the object of point 2 unless u like tapes? as for the amp not a clue

4, trip computers dont work anyway go get urself the peice that go's on escorts that dont have the trip computer and fit a gauge there instead or put the trip computer in for show, or ive even seen the trip computer modified with an act gauge

ok trip computer looms / fuel computer looms (NOT fitted to all cars) there is a yellow connector thats tucked away in corner behind clocks thats where loom plugs in but you'll be lucky to find a loom tbh

no don't need standard amp to run standard stereo ( but these can be found on ebay cheap)

there should be to metal brackets in footwell to fit speakers too again these can be got of ebay or person breaking one

and again sunroof from ebay or breaking one
