Thanks Bill - I still haven't made up my mind about a radio/stereo for the car, so we left a blank area of door panel at the top/front for future speakers if required.

My major problem with a full in-car system is that, in the great "rush to rego", I forgot to install wiring into the doors for speakers. Retro-fitting this wiring would be a non-trivial task - removing the interior side-panels (Sikkaflexed in), etc.

So for the moment, I am going to rely on ear-plugs & the new Nokia phone which has an FM radio & a 1GB card for my music library. When working in the garage, I have the phone connected to a set of PC speakers/sub & the sound is fantastic. Sooner or later, someone will offer a 12V version of an iPod docking station with decent sound - so maybe that can be fitted into car without all the wiring dramas !

After a run of rainy weather, I managed some spray painting today - final primer on the front clip. As to why I am painting - see my next epistle titled "Disaster" !!

Kind Regards,

Peter D.
