Cheers mate 
Did a bit of work today on installing the new stereo. Old headunit came out, and then i stripped all the seats and doorcards out to make access easier. Gave it all a good clean with AG Interior shampoo as it was a bit grubby:
Then Dynamat'd the boot and doors behind the speakers (thanks to Source Sounds in Sheffield for a good deal on the Dynamat) and then made spacers to allow 6.5" speakers to fit in the doors (original speakers are 8x6")
Original plan was to fit 6x9's in the stock position in the rear quarters, but they wouln't go in without cutting a lot of the panel out, which I wasnt prepared to do. SO I went and ordered a pair of Pioneer 6x8's which are arriving tommorrow
Also made tweeter pods into the mirror covers as I couldnt find anywhere else to stick them
These were then fillered and are now rubbed down and in primer, ready for rubbing down again and spraying.
More photos when I do a bit more.

More progress...
New Pioneer 6x8" speakers tuned up thanks to Autotek in Sheffield. Got them fitted in the rear standard positions and wired them to run from the headunit with new higher quality wiring.
MTX 6.5" components fitted in the front doors with the crossovers cut into the foam inside the doors:
Also finished the tweeter pods and sprayed them satin black for a stock look:
With tweeters fitted:
And with grilles fitted:
And finally fitted back in the car with doorcards fitted:
Sub and amps are all fitted, but a new false floor is needed and it still needs trimming:

New front bumper to replace the standard one as it is damaged and stone chipped all over, strut brace and possibly mudflaps. Then thats pretty much it. Unless I see some cheap reclining buckets seats or big brakes. Also want some black headlights off the ST170, or failing that some black angel-eyes.
Its only a daily drive. The VTS is the major project so I dont want to be spending ££££ on this one.

Few little more bits and pieces done tonight:
Front wiper blades were well past it so they have been swapped for new flat wipers:
Whilst I was at it I swapped the rear wiper for a smoothed one off the new shape Focus:
Yes its very mucky but I cant be bothered cleaning it at the minute as I am doing a lot of travelling this week.
Also swapped the wiper switch for one with a variable speed intermitent speed. Stripped all the steeling cowling off and then it just clipped out and the new one clipped back in:
Before
During
After
Unfortunately it doesnt seem to work (despite it supposedly being a simple plug in upgrade) so a little research is in order to find out whats up with it. Tommorrows jobs will be to trim the boot, and fit new spacers behind the front door speakers because the ones I made are poop

Also it still needs lowering a little more, just so it looks nice lol:
Will get round to it next weekend I think. Coilovers just need adjusting down slightly all round.

Thanks for the comments guys
Todays jobs are to smoke and de-tango the headlights, fit new rear wiper motor and then give it a clean and polish ready for Trax tommorrow. Hope the weather holds out - It ain't raining at the minute!
