update -
so i've been having trouble with the electics, and i think i found it with everyone's help, turns out it was the alternator at fault, as when i took it apart with the help of a mate up the road, it was broken.... REALLY REALLY broken, and it's a miracle it even managed to put out 13 volts or so..
so i got one ordered, and expected it in a few days time, only for it to arrive this morning, about 10 hours after ordering it
even so i expected it to be a cheap chinese no-make as it didn't list what it was on ebay, but again -
Valeo, brand new for £50

and once it was fitted and confirmed working, i set about replacing the dash bits that'd been in the boot for a few weeks, and came across the speaker grilles... now the new speakers didn't fit with the grille on, so i set about some 'modifications'
i took this:

did this to it:
[attachment=21151]
cleaned it up with a hammer round the edge
[attachment=21152]
and put it back in the car, meaning despite the fact i'm not entirely happy with the look of it, and they may be getting swapped at some point when i have some more money for better ones / normal grilles, my car has a full interior for the first time in 3 months or so...
might even clean it tomorrow, gonna be going out to the pie restaurant in hunmanby i the evening... so plenty of time to sort myself something to do during the day
