Ok then, let's start at the beginning and have a story.
Back in May we had a holiday booked - too much stuff (including the kids) to get in the wife's 106 and I'd gutted my discovery to get work stuff in. Needed a 'sensible' family car.
Enter the 306 estate!
It came with a leaky exhaust, only one numberplate light and a whole 2 days MOT... Still, for 130 quid, 'salright.
Took it for test, failed as expected on exhaust, bulb and slight imbalance on rear brakes. £5 at the sscrappy for some random bits of exhaust, a bulb from the toolbox and a clean out of the drums with sandpaper and it sailed the restest.
After that, the first thing was to start sorting out what woefully tried passing as a 'stereo'. Head unit was simple to sort, as were the front door speakers
Tailgate speakers were a shade more complicated and required some choppage to get some 6x9s in
Old vs. new
The original speakers didn't go entirely to waste though, they gleefully gave their lives to make some plug adaptors
To be continued in a minute...
