A reasonable amount of jiggery pokery, and a bit of glue and ABS plastic to form the DIN aperture.

 

I've actually sold them now, and have reverted back to one radio!!

 

Q: what are the 2 HU for?

 

One was a MD Tuner, the other a CD / DSP

Don't have a how to, but might be able to get some pics up of what the aperture looks like without a stereo in there, now that I've sold them both and reverted to one.

Well, I've made a decision on what I'm gonna do to the old girl, so this is the plan......it may take some time, but that's what its all about...

 

Going to junk the KE Jetronic management, and fit Megasquirt using the following

 

Stage 1

ABF inlet manifold, throttle body, injectors and fuel rail

Custom 36-1 toothed crank wheel

Ford EDIS coil pack and hall sensor

Wideband Lambda sensor

Megasquirt MSnS Extra

 

Will have control over fuelling and spark.

 

This is the first stage, and getting that up and running shouldn't be too difficult. Once that's done and I'm happy with it...

 

Stage 2

Low comp pistons

Standard rods

Standard crank balanced with flywheel

Modified S2 inlet manifold

Modified S2 / Custom Exhaust manifold

T3 (possible T3/T4) Turbo

Intercooler and pipework

 

Also have a list as long as your arm for the interior and exterior, but primarily...

 

Late Black dashboard

Seat Toledo heater controls

 

AND much to all your approval...

 

COILOVERS!

 

I don't want to spend the earth on the coilovers, but will I need ones with damping adjustment to stop the rear wheels catching the arches? They still cathc from time to time, but they are rolled so it just rubs the side wall of the tyre a bit.

Right couple of changes so far.

 

Replaced the grey dash with a black one now, just need to sort the toledo heater controls. And I've done my own custom shift light.

 

Here's a quick vid!
