So I finally got my tax return, and I spent a good chunk of it putting a sound system into my truck. It's an old 79 ford with a 302 in it, so driving anywhere was really loud -- too loud to hear the radio. So I bought a new head unit, two new speakers, a subwoofer and an amp. I think this would give me something to do this weekend. I have high hopes for everything working as planned. I mean, with older cars there's not nearly as much to go wrong. It was a pain though, finding a subwoofer that would fit behind the seat in a truck. All in all I spent about $500 dollars on it. But I figure after I finish this project I can start sinking money into the outside, like dent fixing, rust removal, paint job, ect...
Sometimes I regret making the decision to restore my dad's old daily driver haha.
labels: asparagus, anyways, this post reminded me of my project for this weekend, a ghillie suit
ReplyDeletestick with it, maybe you can turn that car into something decent and sell it
ReplyDelete79 fords are classics, id like to get me one of those sometime
ReplyDeleteNice man, Iv been recently looking into getting a new sound system for my truck.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely hate trying to find parts for an older model.
ReplyDeleteYeesh, sounds like a pain, man. Though I'd probably waste my tax return on video games :I
ReplyDeletesounds like you're having a hard time with that car; good luck bro
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome plan
ReplyDeletesounds cool.
ReplyDeleteas much as I love driving. I don't think I'd ever invest in my car. Too much Id rather blow money on =p
ReplyDeleteI don't know man... we'll need pictures.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a classic - but I agree GET PICTURES UP!! I drive a Trans Am myself - I love how loud it is - thats why I just put a system in to really crank the music!
ReplyDeleteWell if u are a music-addict then it is probably a quite good investment I'd say^^
ReplyDeleteyep you should have spent the money in something else, but hey thats just my opinion...man
ReplyDeleteThis post sounded so manly haha I wish I new a lot about cars...
ReplyDeletehope the sound is worth it
ReplyDeleteHaha I regret fixing my dad's old truck too
ReplyDeletenice buy!
ReplyDeletespend your money on what you love. if you love it, don't worry about it.
ReplyDeleteHope everything works out well for you.
ReplyDeleteYou should probably start with the dents and stuff before the sound system.
ReplyDeleteHmmm..I'm not much for building a new sound system.
ReplyDeleteput spinners on it
