hey mate,

what you need to do is lift the cd player up so that the gap is down the bottom there maybe some brackets there from the stocko one if not you can make em, its not that difficult and get a pocket from strathfield or the likes of those car audio places which cost like 16 bucks. the stereo will sit on it and you may need a thin layer of foam paper or sumthing round those lines and thats pretty much it.

ALTERNATIVELY...if you dont want to be like everyone else and have a boring pocket :( ...

my old setup before i got double din, was a piece of clear or fogged perspex, and then you put a sticker on it (lettering, numberplate, your name, or shopping list of a brand or something etc) and then paint it black or grey or depending on your dash. Then peel the sticker off and your left with a semi see through whatever, and just put in a neon behind the perspex and it looks hawt imo.

I had interchangable pieces, and a little LED set up that changed ways to flash and glow and chase etc behind it in blue which matched everything nicely. hopefully the pic included comes out alright, i've still got these sitting around unused if you want one, or any, or multiple and i got a heap of perspex available as well if you are metro melbourne? anybody else reading this if you want offcuts of perspex pm me i got too much it's all going in the rubbish bin before christmas

cheers,

shanus

Hi Luke, if the Gladstone you live in is in Queensland pop into Supercheap Auto, I saw a single din sony drawer that houses an mp3 player. Has a plug for the MP3 inside and RFA jacks out back to plug into the rear of the stereo, not 100% sure of the price but i think it was around $49.

yeah in queesnland about an hour or so from rocky?

pretty sure ive seen ur car parked off hansen road

i got a pocket lol

but i also bought perspex took out my ash tray and put my number plate numbers on the perspex and painted it and im gonna run a led light behind it once i buy another car lighter

will get a pik once fully done

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
