    Hey Kiwivan

    Put the decent sounds in the glovebox, you will could regret cutting up the fascia later, but on the other hand, it is your van and you do as you like....maybe swap a dash and make some bucks, everyone wants an unmolested dash...PS my daughter is in NZ atm so I will get her to swing by and bring it home with her lol....

    cheers

    Yeah I though so too until I found out it is to late period wise for my van. I thought it would be good because I could listen to FM and keep original. But knowing now that its not correct and that it is worth money is kinda temping.
    But by the same reasoning the market for this would be very narrow as how many sandmans and monaros were built in that period and would have owners that want to spend that much??

    I'll give it some thought.........

    Sell it! Put a blanking plate over the hole in the dash and put a decent stereo in the glove box. It would only drive you mad with no digital tuning.

    My van is a 10/78 and you say they were only an option late 79-80.

    I know thats being pedantic but the whole reason I got the radio was to keep original and still have an FM radio maybe playing through a hidden amp if the output quality was good enough.
    Being not entirely correct tempts me to sell it, use that money else where and install a CD/MP3 player in the glove box.

    I'm still not sure if I will or won't as yet.

    We are installing a kenwood into the glovebox, and will have speakers in the cupboards in the back, we are as original as possible, but our radio doesnt work nor does the speaker so it will only be an asthetic am radio...
