Well, picked up a bargain basement estate the other week so thought I'd wander in...
Got it through the MOT with a little tickle with the welder on a fiver's worth of exhaust lumps from the scrappy and a replacement numberplate bulb, so happy days there.
Now, the audio - what wasn't broken was crap. So, out came the oem head unit and (what laughably pass for) speakers. So far, a pair of Alpines in the front doors and some 4-way sony 6x9s in the tailgate improved things with a cdx-gt200 filling the hole in the dash - next is to figure out ramming a pair of 12s in the boot cubbies (with work use and kids, I need boot space). If I can do it without the wife noticing, new door cards might be on the menu too.
Anyway, everyone loves pictures - so here it is the day I bought it
