So I was CL one day and I found a Pioneer stereo system with dvd and navigation on it for $100! talk about one hell of a deal. So I bought the stuff I needed and turns out the unit won't fit frown as my 88 G20 has a Din and half size opening with a metal bracket on the bottom side needs to be shaved secondly when I pickup the wiring harness it was for a 90 G20 not 88 as the papers say it to be. None the less I'm a bit discouraged, however I went to a stereo install joint and they said they'd do all the work for $75 to have it all done professionally, that's wiring, and mounting and "custom" shaving of the opening for a good solid fit. I'll have it done on Tuesday morning as they said it'd probably take an hour or so.

The funny part though the stereo is worth $1000 brand new and I'm putting it into a vehicle I purchased for $400... but now I can find where I'm going and listen to good tunes using the iPod controls too YAY ME!

yay Dancing banana!

Since I have to take it to a professional I'll show as much as I can of the build process.
So as a teaser here's a before picture. Will have more teasers tomorrow morning but with better photos.

Removed the cup holders section so the stereo guys can get mine done about 2 minutes quicker...

And I think I'll clean it up a bit wipe it down good and clean up the cob webs, Too bad you cant see it, but where you DO see the carpet is brown, but there's a major fade line where the cup holder unit sits and it's green. I'll get a picture of that soon so you know how badly this thing is faded out.
