Needs more Radio

Hey Guys.

My '82 280zx's radio is now busted.

What would be a good idea to replace it with?

(think cheap, and rather quick.)

P.s. was thinking bout' going up to murrays buying one of the $30 tape decks, or the $50 cd player ones... they're cheap.

If that'll do the trick for you, then you should be fine.

$30??? If you are going cheap, go to a swap meet / garage sale... tape decks are about $10... and WORTH about $10 too.

as a side note, for those who live in michigan, Meijer also sells the wiring adapters.

Also, the closer you get to detroit the less common Z's are, there are less than 5 z cars in about a 100 mile radius from where a live...

try crutch field. they have a website and everything you would ever need. and you should re-wire the speaker wires at least.

crutchfield is $$$ but a great company and quality stuff. not suggesting them for head units or anything, but the accesories for mounting them and wiring. A++ there
