Scratched my head while I looked at all the wires hanging out where the radio used to be and tryed to find out what goes where for the new one :dontknow:
Had another go at taking the rear bumper off but the 2 bolts furthest into the car are too rusty to get off, they look like they have been welded on :cry:
Another day brings another problem but its all worth it

And discovered that the distributor cap has some bad oxidation on the connectors, so I will change that along with the HT leads. And the gasket for the speedo cable in the gearbox is shot so that will have to be replaced. Now if only I could get the cable out. 8)

Saw water,
Cursed that
I hadn't sealed one of the water hoses I fixed yesterday,
Cursed some more,
Decided it can do 'next week',
Had a cup of tea
