El Sol Infinito is on a distinguished road
So, how did it turn out?

So, Yoda, how did the whole thing finally turn out? I'd love to see any pics you might have, as I'm getting ready to start on my own project.
Thanks,
Bob

Finally, the CD/MP3 changer sounds great. It was difficult to find a place to mount it (convertible), but I ended up placing it under the drivers-side trunk hinge. I spent quite a bit of time making up a neat wiring harness and hiding all of the wiring so as not to detract from the car's appearance.

I'll post some pictures once I've put everything back together.
