Here is a small update. Got the car aligned yesterday drives straight now! Also have pics of my new toy for the front stage. IMG_1117.jpgIMG_1118.jpgIMG_1119.jpgIMG_1120.jpg Hopefully next week with my best efforts I can finish the Front stage. I need to finish the kick pods, redo the door pods and Rewire everything from front to back! I also Already have everything cut out for my box but it will be put off until front stage is complete and dialed in.

So Yesterday I finnaly got time to work on my car again! Decided to redo my radio harness, when I purchased the car it was cut so I ran all my own wiring but lost things such as door chimes and such. Any how I picked up a donor at the local junkyard and got to work.

Here you can see I had to work the harness up through the top of the dash where my hazard button sits. It was too short to repair it any other way.

Worked it back down and into is original position. I also pulled all of the wiring for my old setup.

I was in a rush my girlfriend had to go to work so I skipped the pic of the metal straps for angle adjustment. Here it is dowweled up

Driver side trimmed

As you can see it will be a tight squeeze with my clutch foot. I have realized I point my foot outward so It shouldnt be too much of a problem.

was out later on and saw this in the restroom. WTF!

Still stuff stuck to the back. Oh well.

You can see where I couldnt work out one of the wrinkles. I will smooth it out later.

IMG_1224.jpg

Stretched this one tighter using staples as well as hot glue

Ignore the crock pot next to it lol. Here is both pods ready for more glass.

Final product. Need minimal clean up. They will be wrapped in black carpet to keeep a stock look so not too worried about the small inperfections, however they are relativly smooth as they sit.

I have one of two options with the doors. Angle them toward me as I did with these or leave them on thier regular plane and mold them into the door much like Marks door. Of course not quite on that level but similar. They will however house another Carbon Mid for a total of 2 on each side. When I get my new tweets in the pillars will be glassed as well to fit my tweets in. I sure hope I have the front stage wrapped up next week as I will start driving it again at that time and NEED tunes!
