Yeah, especially this time of year. Theres often a lot of snow so they put loads of grit down. I hate it. I hate having to use this car in the winter but I have no choice really.

cheers

Update!

Dash, centre console and wheel on. Just need to get the carpet sections to cover the wires and a new hazard switch as it doesnt work.








Retro blaupunkt radio converted to play an iPod


Had to make a bracket for the choke as this s1 dash doesnt have a mounting point for it.


Its like driving another car!

Im still looking for all the heater hoses and the two gold strips for along the front. Chuffed with it though

I bought the radio like that and the company who converted it are sadly not around any more.

All I know is it has lots of wires inside and has modern sound quality, no original bits inside, just looks like an original cage with a bunch of wires. The only original bits that work are the knobs so the radio function will never work. Doesnt bother me though since I will be listening to music I like all the time instead of trying to find a good station

I dont have it wired up yet but i cant wait till its done. Iv been driving the car for nearly a year without any music!

There is a tape you can get too as dubdan says wh8ch does the job
