i plan on leaving the factory set in the dash, wouldnt wanna chop it up.
ill be fitting a decent sound system to the ute in a fascia ill make underneath the dash, with a late model clarion cd and run some decent splits. ill also have the factory set and the new cd on a switch so i can switch between one or the other.

Yeh but look at the frequencys! 76-90! stations over here start at like 90!

Nice dash tho. You'll have to hunt down a original nob for it

The frequencies are not too hard to fix if one can find a decent radio & TV repair shop. [are there any left?] & it really only needs a set of matching knobs, not necessarily an original knob, so that shouldn't be too hard either.

EDIT
The Sunny Excellent Cigarette lighter is the same as the regular 1200 one, so a replacement will be easy enough to find.

the frequencys are no problem.
ever bought a jap import car???if the radio works in them you will find a frequency convertor behind the dash.
