Do you have a bench seat or buckets? Big differences in the way it's done depending on this.

OK, speakers first.

Your handbrake is in the centre, so you can fit the full length door pockets from a VR or VS (if you don't already have them). 6 inch speakers fir perfectly into them.

As far as the head unit, you need to remove the console cove

You need to pop up the "cap" that covers the gear lever area to get to that screw & it's matching partner on the RHS.

To do that, pull out the ashtray, and use the hole as a handgrip to pull up on it enough to get a screwdriver into the gap that forms

Maybe I misread it but didn't see a mention of undoing the two screws at the front of the console that lower it down for easier removal.

I got the stereo out of the wife's VP in about 1/2 hour the other day & I wasn't rushing (but I have done it se

When you undo the screw on the finishing plate of the vent (the bit that closes against the dash) you can remove it (bit of a struggle).

Then pop the vents out of the housing - push on the back of them to force them, and gently use a small screwdriver
