trust me, I certainly thought about buying a new van... but overall it doesn't make financial sense, I'm looking at likely less than $4000 to repair this one, vs $10000 (or more?) for a replacement, and then I get to start from scratch with an unknown vehicle again... also keep in mind that I have over $3000 worth of modifications on this one already that would have to be moved over...

Works well despite the deep inset of the radio (the can catches a little when removing from the holder). Nice thing about the single DIN stereo I bought is its Bluetooth capability, mp3/iPod interface, USB interface, CD player and radio - pretty cool!
This would be great, and I could use the same thing myself (as my stereo leaves the bottom space empty right now. Are they all standard size?
Thanks,

It's a standard size in that it's single-DIN. That being said, the mounting holes will probably not match because each vehicle is different. The one I have was advertised for a Honda, but if you're changing the radio as well, give the insert to the shop and they should be able to make it fit to the mounting bracket (usually no more than a couple of other holes).
Good luck!

Delicat,
I just noticed the pic of that steering wheel. What make is it?
I've presently got a rather ugly black Grant that I'd like to replace.

^^ Nardi is the #1 choice if you want quality and as well want to hang onto that "modded in Japan" look.
