Went fairly well, most time consuming was the cutting of the radio bezel.
Heres some pic's, I think it looks good.
This maybe good for newbees also.
Below is the speaker wire connection and CD changer connector.

Stop button for stock radio, had to be removed

Some connector box, had to be relocated and zipped tied
