The stereo installation is done, but not without some unforeseen challenges. In my last installment, I posted pictures of the stereo bezel I cobbled together. This weekend, I dove into the hackery portion of the project. To make room for the new stereo, I had to cut a gapping hole in the center of the dash. It hurt to look at until I got the stereo bezel mocked up and fitted to the dash. You'll notice that some duck tape holding the defroster tubing together. While I was inside the dash, I replaced this mess with a new length of tubing. I also rerouted the new tubing around the bottom of the wiper motor. This provided some extra space behind the new stereo head unit.
