	ok first off for firstin/steve: re rev counters, earth/power are obvious, then find your little diagnostic box (its in the top right of the engine bay in these) and there will be 1 big spade connector in it (female) this is your rev feed...just plug and play: (i even cleaned the 'bay a little bit for you haha) for everyone else: I got all creative and whacked my sharpie out! (oo-err) my driving style is a lot like this game at the moment, always ends with an angry bird! opinions welcome oh and talking of birds, for the eagle eyed among you (geddit?) yes I know I still havent welded my strut brace in! its a good fit though, smacked in with a hammer and its been there all week lol!

	OK sooo more progress: I had so many loose ends after the last bodging/smacking/tweaking session! First job up was to do the exhaust... Cherry bomb!!! Being tacked onto the old hangers which were cut off the standard backbox... Look at the delights of Mikey B's belly haha, as you can see the 'zorst sat really high, we had to hack a bit out of the rear panel haha! The driveway was a bit busy that day too, the mk3 estate, my starlet, the drifty and now RWD welded diffy audi a4 and some other tat! My rear bumper was full of pug and mesh as the car it came off in the scrapyard had a wobbly exhaust and had melted it so when we tried to cut it for the new exhaust it became a weird and lop-sided shape! Fail... I'm not going to pretend that this is anything but a god-awful bodge but using the lid of a big casserole dish of mine i cut a template and tacked it onto the bumper :s Hehe...bodge. Welded the brace in... Started flap-wheeling the underseal off my roof and rack mounts...why did I ever do that?!?!?! Then headed off down the scrappy with the world most un-junkyard-doggish-dog to get some bits for the escort and I fancied a splitter... Found this polo one... Flukily good fit! The end profile was all wrong though and too square... Chopped it, will adjust more later... Tided the bonnet as the paint was awful Tided the roofrack mounts... Fitted the 6x9s... Wheels! Fag-paper caliper clearance! Prep/Before... During (Retro-Rides blue FTW) (Lada Adriatic Blue) Trial fit, painted bearing/hub nut caps too... Still filthy, still needs bits putting back on, still needs the roofrack, but shes getting there!
