Should I Bother? A/V ?
I am wondering what you guys think i should do with my rex.... it needs a few rust spots fixed and then needs painted, but after that i am wondering should i go all out on my interior? I have a 7" tv i was going to put where my radio is and then ruhn 2 10" JLs when the storagebin used to be. I was going to add a pc in my car inplace of the radio. i figure the interior job will be around 700+ after the costof the pc itself. What do you guys think?

Sell the 7" tv and use the $700 a buy a nice tv for your living room...you'll use it a ton more.
If you already have a nice tv..then buy a nice 5.1 stereo...already have that...Buy a Xbox...already have that...buy me something.

you can get a good port job done for $700 professionally, or do it yourself and put your money into other engine mods.
What engine do u have, im guessing the stock 12a? save a bit more for the 13b transplant, then port that.

Dude,
you can put what ever you want in your car, some put 12 and 15inch sub enclosures in theirs.
The pc could replace your cd, and hold endless music, not to mention the navigation sys.
If your'e stuck in traffic, or waiting for someone or something you can watch vidio/tv.
I wouldn't do it , but I think it be cool.

love the braaaap
I think it would be cool. But not really my style (and I like F&F). But I would say just stick with your CD/MP3 player and make that sound good. $700 would give you a reasonably good SPL system.

Heh, I'm in the same boat. 2 extra 12a's, 3 extra 5spd trannies, 2 extra gsl axles and I believe 3 full sets of wheels plus two extra. I just can't justify going to a 13b or an GSL-SE suspension yet until I wear out all those parts
If you put a PC in there, make it wireless so you can upload and download your music/video without stringing cable to the house.
