Thinking of installing a headunit in the glovebox of my '81 Sunny to get a bit of sound in there but keep it looking original! Any tips for this? And if anyone's tried it before are there any major hassles? Thanks!

If you use the car a lot then having a head unit in the glovebox can be a pain since it takes up some of your glovebox room. It probably doesn't matter to some people but I like to have the space there to chuck stuff into. Just a thought.

I have recently fitted mine to the glove box of my 120y and it works mint. I rarely use my glove box but there is still room for the important stuff. One thing I have found is dont cut a hole and cage mount it as this will sit the radio too far back and may get in the way of your heater pipes. There is a place called Eds auto services who sell auto related stuff including under dash steel barckets which can be adapted to secure the unit in the glove box. I have used these in boats and older yank cars.
I just sit mine in there and only cut a small hole for the loom. scale of 1-10 I would say its a 9 for how it turned out.

I only really use it to store my manual and registration etc so if it was bolted to the roof of the glove box I figured those things could still fit underneath. Cool that sounds promising, will have to give them a ring. Cheers!
