Hit a small snag. The fiberglass job on the bezel worked but not everywhere. The bottom piece came seperated from the LCD bezel. So I stripped everything off and am going to have to fiberglass it again and get it right this time :P Not sure when i will get to do that, maybe I will do it bit by bit throughout the week.

What's the status or progress? Curious about the fiberglass/bondo work. I never done that before and may be doing it with my new project.

I'm so jealous of GTO owners.. Holden knockoff or not thats a fun car to drive! I personally HATE that bondo hair crap and have never done an install that looked decent with it. I Epoxy then use duraglass then sand sand sand. Good luck!

Well unfortunately right now it isn't going anywhere. I have rana into several problems all at once. The larsgest is that I cannot get the screen to work right most of the time. It will only come on if the power has been completely drained from the unit for about 15 minutes. If constant power is connected to the unit, it will never come on after first boot. The head unit locks up like a failsafe has tripped, which brings me to the second problem, I cracked my bezel again after taking components in and out so much so that needs to be sanded down once again and re-done. And then the next issue is the power supply I bought for the mini 9 isn't working. It worked when I connected it to my test bench but once in the car the mini 9 turns on for about a second and then right back off. I think I might have found the issue for this but haven't had time to look into it. I think I will finish this off eventually but not sure when, If I wasn't having so many issues with the lcd it wouldn't be so bad.
