Nah, I don't think he did on the back Doesn't matter anyway, the speakers have been stuffed for a long time No use taking them out and putting new ones in until I get the bitch going Also, can someone answer the following question I have: I have heard from a lot of people that the vt seal is better for the front than the dodgy vl seals, but have also heard that the vt can hold more water Considering that the vl is in 2 pieces and the vt is all one piece Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yep, sure will Can't wait to get the car goin again after so long Anyone else had their rust fixed... and did it comeback? Mates brother is repairing the car, while I'm sourcing out bits & peices for it A friend who has not much of an idea on bodywork just mechanical, tows it everywhere it needs to go, told me it'll be back in a few months... I also got told to pop the window in 12 months to see if it comes back Anyone, care to add to this? mick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
