... so what do you wnat me to buy?

No expert, just don't trust sales droids, so I'm forced to do my own research :D

Honestly, if you're going to use your telly for sound and basic composite video for video, then a strathfield-priced player will do everything you want. CD/CD-R/SVCD/DVD/mp3s and region free at a low price. Like rev said, the mpeg chipset and board these players use (mostly zoran?) are off the shelf, so theres not much design for them to screw up.

If you're more of a name brand type person (safe way to go), then low end Panasonic and Pioneers would be my pick. Panasonic may not play mp3s but both should be region free (ask the salesman and bring a test disc just in case). Price for them should be similar ~$350. If you have a Myer or DJ shareholder card, ask them to price match and use the card. Otherwise, break the balls of a local retravision or hardley normal sales droid for a good price.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
