This is how it looked when I picked it up:

Plenty of au love here man. As you said, you can get these for pretty good money these days and are bloody good cars imo. Go hard, look good and very nice inside.

That's for sure, I'd happily drive this daily if I didn't have a company car.

I have no idea what you could even use those Roof Racks for, they we're on it from new & genuine Ford, didn't come with the keys so I had to cut them off. They also used to make a bad whistling noise when you opened the Sun Roof.

Got sick of listening to the Radio in this so I put this in on Friday night. Its a pretty basic unit but does the job. I used the harness so the Steering Wheel Controls still work too.

Getting two new Rear Tyres fitted today, there down to the belts on the inner edges now.

Also got a set of Radio/Cruise Buttons off ebay for $40.00 last night :)

How good are those plastic brackets for the headunit! I was blown away with how good/easy it fit when i did mine! Good work keeping the wheel buttons functional too, mine are now useless.

Those plus the plug in looms you can buy these days makes it a very simple job, hardest part was removing the original Head Unit.

On the way back from getting new Rear Tyres fitted this afternoon a lady doing a U-Turn didn't give way to me & this happened :(
