Hehe I thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure if you were planning to put the speakers back in. Be good for social events.
Built with ebay!!!

Had a laugh today. Fitted the front dash speakers, no probs. Went inside and did some hoovering and BANG! No power anywhere, a main fuse had blown. Had to go out and find some spares, got back, fixed the fuse. Drove home, all well, speakers work fine. Parked up. Light switch won't turn off. Physically won't turn off. Swore. Undid bonnet, disconnected battery. Asked some peeps here if they have one, also in wanted section. I hate electrics, I really do.

Bugger.

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Replacement light switch turned up yesterday evening of all times...cheers Mike. Fitted in minutes and everything works. Nice not having to disconnect the battery every time I park!

Was getting a bit annoyed at the amount of rattling the exhaust was making, didn't exactly help yesterday when it fell off completely whilst being followed by plod. Thankfully he was a decent chap and let me fix it and carry on. So...did this...

I will make it look a lot nicer and respray the cherry bomb and pipe!
