kuntzie Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 When modifications look factory, you're doing something right. i really wanted to get an 04+ navi unit from a pontiac, but i would have had to change a bunch of wiring,.... you can tell its not factory since the corners are squared off, where as if i had the oem navi unit i could have done rounded.

GnatGoSplat Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Nice work, I always love double-DINs. Did you have to do much in the dash itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntzie Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 not too much, just had to make mounting tabs and notch the plastic support, not to bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34mightymachine Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Really Nice. The Double Din looks really Oem on the GP. I have to drive down to Toronto to see your GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuntzie Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Wow, that looks amazing! I wonder if there's room to do that on my '92... i would try it on my 89 but im thinking of doing the 96 dash in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douellette Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 looks great man. wish i knew how to do fiberglas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Doesn't need to be fiberglass, ABS paste works well if your dash plastics are made of ABS. It's cheaper too, if you have scrap ABS plastics laying around. I did mine entirely out of ABS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 ive never even heard of ABS paste haha, who makes it? You do! Take chunks of ABS plastic, soak in a solvent (acetone, MEK, etc) till it becomes a gooey paste. Voila! ABS paste! On mine, I used a soldering iron to roughly melt the pieces together, then used ABS paste for the finish work. Skim coat with Bondo (I used JB Weld because I had it) for filling in any fine pinholes or imperfections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2bass Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ok, do it to the TGP next so I can copy you. That would be quite the job. It could for sure be done but there would be alot more fiberglass and dash modification involved than was done here. Ive thought about doing it in my TGP, but i dont want to modify and chop apart the dash that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
