Hey everyone how's it going?

My name's Mardy, from the Adelaide Hills. Currently an apprentice panel beater doing restoration and stuff like that. I've got a 1987 Ford Courier minitruck.

Its got custom paint/panel, a few interior bits and pieces. A Commodore v6 conversion is underway and an air ride suspension set up to be done in the future.

I've gotten enthused lately to do a mild stereo install on it soon to replace the mostly stock system (except for the head unit). I listen to all sorts of music but mainly hardcore/metal that im getting sick of pumping through stock speakers. It's a spacecab, so there is some room in the back for subs/amps.

There seems to be heaps of information on hear about making quality systems, so I'm going to start reading, and maybe make a build thread when I start my install!

Welcome to the forums mate. Would love to see a build log of your ute it sounds like you've spent a lot of time and effort on it.
