Front speakers

Ever since I put speakers in the rear, the front has sounded pants.
With a nice journey coming up, I decided to replace them with another set of FLI FU, this time 5.25inch and 120W

Front lights update

Just thought I would show the front lights in the dark.

Indicator

Sidelights

Getting ready for the Pikey

With the Pikey meet coming up this weekend, I decided to do a few bit that have been bugging me for a while.
The indicators, although legal were cracked and the light fittings themselves were rusting away nicely. So a new set was in order.

Before -

After -

Not that the lights were expensive, I fitted security screws, about the same price as the standard screws (and there is no point in putting rusty screws back on now is there), it just hopefully stops the little thieving **** from giving me the headache of finding the old lights should mine be borrowed to go on eBay or wherever.

Also, these lights come with the sidelight in them (I retained the original side lights too), and kept the orange sidelight bulbs that came with the set, gives it more of a American look, also due to them being on the 'side' not pointing forward, they are legal (I double checked with my mate Johnny the MOT tester).

Next up is a through clean and load up for the weekend ahead :)

Sticker Design

After my rough sketch earlier, people are asking me to look into the possibility of getting them made up, so had a play with a few designs....

The standard VW version

Stickers

I decided that I want some stickers on my front doors that were quite common in the 80's but I couldnt remember exactly how they looked.
Thankfully, the guys on 80-90 assisted.

I did a quick sketch in GIMP to show what I remembered, and they pointed me in the right direction.  Cheers guys.

My sketch

Shopping.

After a lot of deliberation and the thought of going to another Pikey meet with the toilets being miles away, I purchased a bike rack. Ideally I wanted a Famma rack but budget really doesnt permit, so I bought one to attach on the tow bar...

Now just to get a bike lol

Next week, Bobby will get a wash, a full interior empty, clean and re-fil for the camping season ahead (starting with the Pikey meet).

There are a few other things that I have in mind, but they will have to wait till a little later in the year.
