Looking good Ryan. A tidy wheel/trim really do make a difference to a cars overall appeal.

Replaced the rear speakers today in the mk2 Vitesse sport nightfire hatch today, perfect fit and sound good too. For interest in case your thinking of doing yours ebay link below.
Took 20 mins to do both sides. I think that they could be fettled to fit in a mk 1 pod.

Not exactly today but starting last Friday; rear brake caliper replacement after handbrake linkage destroyed itself. Then to MOT to get an 'advisory free' ticket. :D

Next will be to remove the scuttle panel for a rub down and re-spray to remove the little bumps of nastiness.

Congratulations on the advisory free ticket. Advised by a member on here regarding scuttle panels is to slap lots of grease on the underside when re-fitting after painting
