Definitely keep this for a while. Be a weekend cruiser. Need to work out possible anchor bolts for kids seats and seat belts. Has only lap sash's in the back seat. Is it a guard spear on the bonnet? Will have to get some closer pic's to post. Cheers for the reply's.

Redesigned parcel shelf with anchor bolts for kids seats and new retractable seatbelts. And Blacky finally got a closer photo of the guard spear.

Out with the sony explodes 6x9s and in with two anchor bolts for the kids seats and under parcel shelf retractable seatbelts. Willshire motor trimmers matched the rear parcel shelf trim and seatbelts perfectly.
