Wish me luck, planning the CarPC build this week if the weather holds.

[Sleeker GT Phwoar]

Need to get a power distribution block, some cabling and a couple of
inline fuses, then build a case and screen surround to replace the
factory headunit.

Going to get everything ready before I start, then do each bit as it
happens.

Need to run power for the amp and the Opus CarPC PSU.

Losing the headunit completley and going with a PC FM tuner card for
radio.

The amp is a crappy Jetsound 4 channel. Don't plan on pushing it hardly
at all, but it was cheap (couple of quid) and I'm only going to be going
through the factory speakers for now.

Also need to hack about a Toyota->ISO adaptor to operate the ignition
line on the PSU, and the amp/antenna remotes, as well as run fit
connectors to plug the amp into the factory speaker wiring.

I still haven't gotten any further.
I keep looking at the pile of bits, and the couple of sheets of MDF, and
magically find something else more urgent that car needs.

I don't know why I'm so worried.
I've done two otherr builds in other cars, each slightly more ambitious
and they worked fine, but this is the fanciest yet, and it is starting
to scare me.
