Re: Yes, but it ain't easy... 700 1985

I don't know, I didn't think the job was all that bad on mine. After removing the amp and head unit, (didn't have an EQ), the hardest part was following the wiring diagram to splice the harness together with the pre-existing speaker wires. Then I just had to get the head unit to fit into the plastic box that remained from the old radio. I didn't use a kit so it doesn't look "perfect," but it's good enough as far as I'm concerned. It did take me some time to complete, though. Probably the better part of a day, mostly due to the fact that it was outside in the dead of a New England winter.
