Its a 1985 998cc Mayfair, in Citroen 'Melon Gold'. :-

No major modifications apart from what can be seen, going to get a stereo for it soon (any tips on wiring one in??) and also need to replace the windscreen seal as I dont want to blow the new stereo up!

Thats it for now, no interior pics as there isnt much to it!


So any comments/help/advice will be much appreciated! :1eye:

Welcome to the site, as for your stereo if you take a constant live from your solenoid, an earth to any good earth point on your car and a switch live from your heater switch, make sure its the green wire or your radio will only work when you turn your heater on. Double check it is with volt meter then all you need to do is wire in speakers.

Easy peasy.

Cheers Nick, you make it sound so easy but I bet I'll mess it up somehow if I attempt it! :D
