so due to the noisy gearbox, I thought I'd justify to "Upper Command" a spangly new stereo (to try and drown out the noise)
Custom Audio in the States do a VW replica twin dial stereo with iPod/iPhone connectivity though an AUX jack that plugs into the back of the unit, along with the standard AM/FM radio frequencies, kind of wanted a period look but also wanted to play my music rather than suffering radio ads and Canadian music taste!!

I had a spare foam air vent surround, so with a bit of cutting and fiddling, I was able to modify it to fit around the stereo (stereo is a little deeper hence the gap, but you can't really see it when your sat up higher in the car

I can still hear the gearbox noise though.....

I've been playing whilst I wait for my gearbox! (stil needs a flat and polish, but quite pleased with how the letters came out

still waiting for the damn Canadian weather to buck up here (2 day ice storm), so thought I'd start pulling all the parts I've been collecting for a retrofit headlight wiper system. Testing it on a spare front panel before I fit it to the car...
