More prep
Also in waiting for the screen to arrive, I dug out all my spare dash parts. The bottom of the center console was bought a long time ago. I don't know why, maybe I got a good deal? Might, might not need it here. You can see in one of the pics that I'm stripping the blue paint off of some parts I plan on using. I bought them blue from an ebayer I'm guessing didn't like it anymore. Got a decent deal for all that, and since it will all be sanded and painted, it all works out.
In the meantime, I'm also working on the computer. I removed the useless floppy drive, took the plastic panels off the case and installed windows xp. For a long while, I debated on the size of the hard drive. 10 gigs would probably be fine, but I have over 50 gigs of music. Not that I would need to listen to that much music at any one time, but what if I suddenly feel the urge to listen to Savage Garden? It's happened. Who knows what I or my passengers might feel like listen to. So I tried looking for one around 60-100gb, laptop or desktop. I ended up dismantling an external one I really don't use, just to cut cost. It will be replace later. The carputer on the other hand needed one now.
