Damn! Those connections were so dodgy, even dodgy would call them dodgy. I'm glad you managed to sort it all out yourself.

Interior looks neat too.

Tools and stuff
Thought I'd list out the main stuff that have come in handy so far:

Sandpaper + Swiss army knife (never found it so useful :P)

Steel wool:

Rubbing alcohol. Very handy for cleaning surfaces before epoxy/filler/etc. Even on some electrical contacts:

Epoxy.. good stuff, forgot to check the temperature range before I used it but I checked it out after and it will be fine in the car even on a very hot day:

Body filler

Ze soldering iron. Oh she's misused so badly

And of course the electrical tape:

I know! I can't believe I've been driving around with it like that. I thought I had fixed all the dodgy wiring from the previous owner but they were obviously more retarded than I give them credit for. I mean the other ones were just corroded/etc but this was something else :O

Looking good.

I sorta didn't really take many more pictures since but the install is just about done. The screen is in, new power & speaker cables have been run, and the case is mounted in the boot. Only problem I've been having so far is a lot of noise on the front speakers... I'll post some pics later

Hey Zill post some more pics man, I've been waiting to see how yours turned out.

Can't wait to see it. Glad to hear you have it in now.

Damn I haven't actually gotten around to doing this yet. I have my dash out at the moment spraying it back to black and converting all the interior lights (bar the cluster) to red. The A/C controls are proving to be very annoying.

Anyway I might be able to finish tomorrow and post some pics :P
