Nice little project Stuart, I enjoy this type of video.

Thank you Neil - this type of video is a bit niche but I enjoy making them.

The speakers are aftermarket by the look of them. when fitted at the factory they have speaker boxes pushing into the space by the tanks through the bulkhead - also holes are more round when factory fit!

[@SportsandGT]

Thanks. Certainly done in period but maybe not factory fit as you say.

The real music comes from behind without speakers....luckily you didn't use a new radio.

[@SportsandGT]

It does indeed - especially with a newly rebuilt engine and a new stainless exhaust system.

Nice job - does the tape deck work too?

[@SportsandGT]

Good question. Probably but I’ve yet to try it. Likely needs a head cleaning tape run through it.
