The audio build for the Icelandic is almost finished:
We mounted a Kenwood and SPLX amp to the single sub box.
We also had to cut our homemade exhaust bracket in order to fit the boxes in the boot.
Almost complete.

Looking good!
I Love the fact, you have managed to get the Sax from Gavin & Stacey!
I'm brand new to the sax family so this is a great read, looking forward to the updates & pictures.

Cheers lads. We’ve not really managed to do much over the last month due to holidays and busy weekends. But there will be some updates soon. The wedding is now less than a year away and we still have a lot to do.

After a couple of months of being busy with holidays and other events, we found some time to crack on with car 3 on Sunday. We’ve not been in the car for a while and we opened to doors to find wasps had been living in there. We couldn’t find a nest but we found a few large wasps in the seats, door frames and rear door cards. Pictures to follow…

There’s been a bit of a delay since our last post as it’s been a busy time. Over the last couple of weekends we’ve been working on the cars, getting them ready for the deadline, which is now in less than 270 days. We unlocked the black Saxo to find it was littered with wasps, under the seats, inside the door frames and on the rear bench. We cleared them out and looked for a nest but couldn’t find one – after that we fitted the wires for the audio and started removing the dash. We didn’t get many pictures other than this one.
Because we’ve changed the Icelandic steering wheel, the car showed an air bag fault, so we removed out the instrument cluster to cover the air bag LED.
While we had the clocks out, we stuck a DickSound sticker over the rev counter. Which some may remember back from early 2011 .
Along with the light, to get the car MOT ready we tidied up the engine bay, which, with all the additional bits and pieces, had become a mess of wiring amongst the slightly rusty chassis.
The car is now almost MOT ready, only lights to finish.

A couple of weekends back we went on a 200 mile road trip with a pig-skin wallet full of money to pick up all the parts to finish the Icelandic, and most of the Black Sax. We went to see adam661 and bought a new battery, a set of 106 GTi leathers, a set of VTS wheels, a cold air intake pipe, some smoked indicators, a replacement boot trim, a centre console, a passenger side rear light circuit, some rear badges, and a gear knob. After that we drove to Corby and bought jodie_saxo’s old smoothened bonnet from her old English White smooth VTR, a Mk2 front grill and another gear stick. Finally went to see a local friend who sold us an engine cover. We also ordered two sets of 50mm lowering springs from EuroCarParts.
Updates to come shortly.
