Behind radio clearence ?

You'll also need one of these:
You can see where the radio will have to sit...I'd also grab some of those stick-on leapers that are floating around to dress up the blanking space above the radio. That's just me, though.

Now, that's not saying things can't fit...but the surgery involved...well...if they came up with a seperatable faceplate (ie hide the technology in a box under the seat...), that would be one way, but these cars weren't designed to take more than what they were delivered with.
In its day, the Alpine radio equipment was top-end stuff, suitable for the car. 15 years later? Not so much.

My audio guy went with a double din Kenwood so I gather he knows the tricks to make it work. I've never had a shoddy install from his place so I feel good about it. I would've kept it OEM but my stereo outputs to the brand new speakers on the left/driver side were shorting out plus the wires from my XM receiver to the tape deck etc. were nerve racking & unsightly.
Should be finished this afternoon.

She's going in for paint tomorrow to refinish a panel w/ some clear coat issues. Going on 6 weeks since acquiring this gem. I'm semi-proud of having it this far along on my "to-do list" ! For a 15 year old former daily driver, she will be sitting proud lol !
