Had 4 day weekend this weekend, because it was my birthday on the Friday.
Me and Lee were putting Electric Windows and my Infinity Components in my car.
Started off by getting all the looms in, Ripped the old looms out and put Door looms out of a Sport in the doors. Then poked the dash side of the multiplugs into the car so I could start to take them apart, and put some extra pins in. The job was a bit of a c**t to do though. This took the longest part of time.
Plugged in the motors to the looms without riviting them in just to test them - Worked first time 
Friday, got started late and drilled out all the old window mechinisms. Went to see Benn off here at Station Bodyshop and got the motors rivited to the door (Eventually). 
Saturday, we had to tidy up all of my wiring and solder a couple of remaining connections up nice. Lee was working that day, so was by myself. Had to put the Glass in in an Asda Car Park in the Dark though in the pissing rain. Cleared a Trolley Bay and used that for shelter!! 
That was the windows done. Was a harder job then I made it sound here though
Next up, was the components. Undid all the trims to the back of the car and fed the wires through, starting at the rubber boot in the doors. and all the way back to the door. Them drilling the doors and feeding the speaker wires in.
Wires to the crossover, then more to the Subwoofer and Tweeter. Sounds really nice amped up - And for Jay Butler - the 6x9's are going in the bin! 
Was out until 10pm last night getting stressed with the doors on Sunday night. Lee came out and helped me finish off/put doorcards on, which was nice.
So in short, I have done electric windows and components, it was a bastard of a job. And massive thanks to Lee Wilson for helping me out

The wiring for rear speakers is in every corsa even if you dont have rear speakers as standard. You just have to find them in the loom behind the rear lights and tap into them
