trunk-rattlin Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 chur for all the comments. Green_mk2_escort, it is a 1600 but the 1.3 badges will remain the warping in the console seems not to be a problem as the cdplayer mounts in there all good. hopefully on the road tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
