Recommended Posts

That car is way to sexy for a stationwagon. Looks like I need to come down there and build you an alt bracket...

:D

When I read your post J-road, I read it as "dual alt bracket", now I see you said just bracket lol. I was going to say... look at all the space for nothing :P

You can barely see the case of the alt underneath everything.

Stock bass

Looks like a good spot for my tiny battery

I'll be adding another d1200 on the other side, after I get the dc alt, and can afford it. :peepwall:

Not much progress I know :bigok:

Good luck getting an alt in there or doing the big 3 lol. I did the big 3 and it was quite painful, ratchet extensions are pretty much required to get the bolt off.

I didn't have a problem adding some wire from the positive stud to battery, ground wires seemed fine.

Oh and I'm not fucking with putting the alt in... The ac condenser needs to be moved, front tire taken off, and cv joint removed. I'm having the shop do it when they replace the timing belt and tensioner :P

Keep up the good work!

Thank you :)

Nice, oh just some average charger that I found in the garage :P I'm sure it's not the best... It did have different charge modes tho, I just used the lower amperage and longer charge.

Maybe you are not a game lover. But you must know the game Buy WoW Gold. Some people would choose to Buy World of Warcraft Gold online as a result of MapleStory Mesos price. Sparing some time to play game is a good way to relax yourself. If you are interested in the game, choose more Runescape Gold to make your role stronger.

Ill keep that in mind...

You need a respirator with a charcoal filter. The dust mask is doing nothing for you.

Me too! I'm hoping after I get a couple more layers, sand it, bondo, and wrapped in vinyl / pleather that it looks somewhat decent :rofl2:

Well then I'll take it off so I don't look like a fool, and go buy a respirator, thanks :dancing:

Looking forward to how these will turn out. How are you mounting them?

Not hundred percent sure, I know I can do screws from behind the door panels into the speaker baffle area. As for the left side where it's fb and no wood, perhaps lay down some two part epoxy?

Any tips? :P

I'm going to see how well this one fits on the panel, if it's close I'll finish it up, if not I may just make a new baffle and start over again

If you are able to reach down into the pod, possibly nut&bolt to panel with a large washer on each side?
