Good stuff, things gathering pace over the last few months.

On the rear parcel shelf, would it not be easier to go with round speaker grills. Must be easier to carefully mark out concentric circles & drill small holes. As opposed to the complicated rectangular grill shape.

Thanks mate...yes car all coming together very nicely now. It should be out the paint shop next week hopefully and then the fun starts putting it all back together.

Tbh regarding the parcel shelf,i may even do away with the speakers altogether but not completely decided on that yet and yes i see you point about the concentric circle idea...would be alot easier actually!! :thumbright:
