well i decided best place to start before going to friends for engine work is a gd clean up and find why horn was intermittent on working after a quick wash and a slight polish
then i started on interior both front seats was removed then the dash stripped love the ease of removal also found last owner liked things loose most screws was loose even the air bag screws was
found horn problem
straight down to friends part bought replaced to find one problem end connection was not the same
have to find new plug now

don't bother with 6x9's, they are useless if you've got a sub and good componants
