today i decided to get my trk 8200 down off the fridge (kitchen box) and give it a little tickle up inside as there was quiet a bit of dust in the speakers and on the cones.
anyway this is my first little venture inside a box apart from a tape deck section i ripped out of a dead philips d8734 for a member here
anyway lets say 8200,s are easy to get into the speakers, i done all the necessary unscrewing and stuff and cleaned inside the speaker grill rims and the cones put it back together and the speakers look like new with a crisp shine on the cones
i found the box very neatly screwed together and very solid in build, tons of stuff inside, where would i start if i had to repair something
anyway i just thought id share my sunday afternoon with you guys

Nice one mate, good to hear you giving it a go. Slowly slowly is the way to go.

Yep. You`ll soon be tackling a tpr .

Take care & take it slow & you can't go wrong.

You can put the reg and select the make into DVLA's web site here:
http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov....geid=Vehicle+Enquiry

But I couldn't find either registration numbers unfortunately. It may have been scrapped before the system was digitised

Whats the point of putting fender flares on that crap-box if you're not gonna fill them out with wider wheels & tires?

wider wheels and tyres on an old metro id,e love to see the finished product

All it needs, is some 24's and a paint job I bet the rear scoops were fabricated to cool the brakes, oh man...
