Thanks for the kind words. The more I mess with it the more I find wrong with it. My OCD is staqrting to kick in here.
Today I drove by the local military pawn shop (Ie. Soldiers who go broke and sell shit off) and said, meh, why not. Went in and picked up a POS pioneer that has USB capabilities since I only use an IPOD anywya it was the best $50 I could spend so far. I installed a new anntanea thingy and it sits about 12" over the roof line so now the car REALLY looks like a RC car.
Then I went to install the radio. a 10 minute radio swap turned into a "WTF kind of wiring, WTF WTF, SHIT FUCKING IDIOT, GODAMN KRIMP SHITS." 2 hours. Finally got it in and working but I found out why the rear speakers don't work (no wires). The guy had spliced into every imaginable thing possibkle and I shocked the shit out of myself when removing the cig lighter (which was the primary for the radio btw).
I realize the interior will need a full rewire as I assumed months ago.
Also I found a FULL sized factory spare. not a black wheel but the same as what is on the car. So I should make a pretty penny on a set of 5. On top of that, they are NOT the waffle wheels I thought they were they are extremely rare rotex or something like that.
Under the carpet is minimal rust but the craftmanship of the Japanese in the 70's isn't on par with what I prefer (ie. holes are't round but oval).
Tomorrow I will be picking up some decent speakers to get by until after the build so I can listen to SOMETH?ING other than VRAP VRAP POP!
