  • Just put in the new radio and sorted out the speaker wiring. Ended up with 7 wires left over from the PO's wiring mess. Now it's all straightforward and correct. Radio is a cheapo $55 Dual from Wally World, but it's all I need. Has CD and MP3 capabilities.

        Haven't put the 14" Estrellas on yet; ordering 24 of the lug studs today--the other 8 are for the Aspire front knuckles I will be getting.

        Edit: your wiring was no problemo BTW.

                              Engine bay seems to me to be a gen 2 323, based on the brake fluid reservoir.

                              The pink car looks to me like an old Fiat or Yugo model, and the pic was taken somewhere in Europe (note the license plate, architecture, green car in background).

                              I don't have the stones to go that far! Truckers would be obliged to beat me up. How much will someone pay me to drive up to a biker bar in a Festy decked out like the pink one? (You can pool your money to take up a collection.)
