From the 'photo, it would appear fairly similar. Will check mine out tomorrow, as I,m not sure if it's the alternator or battery at fault. More likely to be alternator, as the battery was new last year. I've also only used the car around town for the last month or so, so she may need a good run to charge the battery properly. Although despite the battery being flat tonight after my commute home from volunteering, the headlights did dim and glow dependant on engine revs. suggesting the alternator is actually working. I'll do a test tomorrow morning with my 'meter.

I have a spare 3g alternator that came with the love child. Have absolutely no idea on mileage/whether it works though I'm afraid!

You can use a 4g alternator, with some minor re-work and if you get hold of the 4g tensioner bolt as well (check my 91 3g profile thread for the info)

Are these the ORIGINAL front speakers (hidden)?

original grills, yes, where are the speakers themselves? Removed by you, or previous owner?

My battery seems to be holding up, since giving the car a good run sometime ago, so I think all is good with charging system.

Good to hear about the battery, Mike

Yes - owner ripped all door cars, speakers out ...

Looks like most of the locating lugs/ dowels are still complete, should be easy to re-assemble, once you've put new speakers in.

Not for me Mike!

If mine are not orginial i might as well enlarge the current front speaker hole (in the door card) which would allow me to replace front speakers without removing the door cards

Original plans was to keep everything as stock as possible!
But if its a lot of bother removing the front door card,
and rear speaker covers no longer fit new speakers - then might as well fit new.

I mean, already learnt my spare wheel also NOT original

Whatelse?!!!

Lol
