Re: TA_C10: Stage 1

Dash Repair Panel - Radio


So the PO cut out the radio panel to fit a modern single DIN radio, like many do.... And I like the original look with a modern radio setup. I plan to get one of the new radio's that look like original.

So here are some pics of my fix. I almost screwed up cutting out the new panel and how I cut the old panel. I was trying to be strategic so I wouldn't have to weld or grind on grooves or bends. Hard to do. I ended up figuring out that only the tabs were cut and so I just cut the tabs out of the new panel to fit the old but on the left side I didn't cut out enough and went through the left knob button with the cut like an idiot..... Don't know what I was thinking....


Here is the only pic I have of the old cutout radio.








And my new metal going in...















Tool depot I used to get this radio plate fixed.... Took a lot of time to go slow and make sure all the metal was grinded slowly and correct.
