But before taking on such projects, always do your research. And having some sort of mechanical/electrical know-how and sense definitely helps - including the will to get down n' dirty because projects like these can go from butter-smooth to all out chaos in a matter of seconds!
Give yourself enough time and get help too. An additional hand will be good to have, as long as you two don't keep on bumping into each other.
So I tackled one of my fave car projects, a stereo install. Once you know how to remove (and return) the console panel and trim, everything else is a piece of cake ;-)
Took my time and got the unit in, and quite happy with the result. There are still two more pending sub-projects with this that are to be done - the reverse camera and HD radio module installs. The reverse camera is partly done, but the HD tunere will require a takedown of the head unit again.
More man-hours to come! Can't wait to get it all done;-) But never rush!
In the meantime, I'll study the layout first and finish some Angry Bird levels!
Cheers!
