    Radio--is gone. It does have speaker wires in the doors and hatch area if that helps.
    Has spares on it,so don't know about the wheels.

    Nah, speaker wires doesn't help. That was standard equipment front and rear, starting in '85, regardless if the standard or optional stereo was ordered, or if the radio credit (delete) was ordered.
