May 2019: Double Dinn Centre Console! The time came to get one of the final pieces on my list for the interior. I have seen a few of these on the market but condition was not for me and I've also seen a lot of people with Double Dinn conversions trying to sell them as genuine's. I finally...

April 2014: Audio Upgrade/Build! The time came at the end of April to do a few audio upgrades, I've always enjoyed sound systems since I started driving but have always wanted to make them as clean looking as possible, I've never been one to throw just a big woofer box in the boot with an amp...
