ok i finally got to do something to the car didnt get around to doing anything to it over the weekend.

whats been done, made up a plate for the gauges and have trial fitted them in the car, wired up new cd player, mounted clear side repeaters (ill get a pic tomorrow) and thats probably it didnt get a great deal of time.....hopefully tomorrow i can start wiring up the gauges.

only pic i have

ignore the mass amount of wires lol there about 14-15 wires there for the 3 gauges :shock: i still need to mount up the vaccum gauge aswell hopefully tomorrow.

Ah nice, I've seen a couple of mates hate their Jensen units too. I remember wiring one up after work one day for a mate, the whole unit was so s**t it hardly seemed worth it. That one was a really low model though.

my mate bought the jensen from repco for $100 when i was selling my ef before deciding to keep it i sold him my sound system for $300 and his jensen cd player (sony cd player, alpine 6.5inch speakers, sony 6X9's and a clarion sub and amp)

i had a sony head unit, alpine 6.5 inch speakers in front doors (had to use spacers to be able to put the window up and down :P ) sony 6X9s and a clarion sub and amp.

when i decided to keep the ef it ended up with the jensen cd player, jensen 6 inch splits in front doors and jensen 6X9's.

and TX5 had a factory cd player in it so i put the jensen in it one night after tafe.

hasnt been that long i dont think :P i owned the ef i ended up wrecking for about a year and a half.

i wouldnt mind another car but this one would have to go, i have been thinking about it on and off these past few weeks :P

update while im typing, gauges are 90% wired up just gotta find a way to get 3 wires and a vaccum line into the engine bay, will probably end up drilling a hole.

Yeah fair enough. There's an EB wagon for sale down here, EBI I think. It's a white GL.

$500 registered, it does leak from the gearbox though, he did ssay from where but I couldn't understand him properly..

If you're interested and the box can't be fixed I have a spare box or two..

About to go outside and get the drill set up and make a hole to run all my wiring into the engine bay only 3 wires and a vaccum line left :D then ill tidy it all up and put it all back together.
