  • This while its lockdown is gonna become a daily update of car progress

    We got a few things done today (still no black dye has arrived) so we cracked on with running the speaker cables through the doors to the rear what an arse those cables are to get through the original grommets but thankfully we were able to do the right hand side. The cables are tagged so we know which is which when we come to wire up and used cotton tape to seal the cables so they sit nice under the kick panels.
    Got the last of the handles like everything else in the car black, now the handles were the last ones i did the sun glass holder in leather.
    To finish off got the toffee wheel and removed the residue off the rear bumper some of the paint came off but it wont matter as the new cover will hide all that forever.

              • Pretty much the same as yesterday but on the left side to day adding the cables through the left side doors was harder than the right as the main power cable was also getting in the way (another cable thats coming out Ive bought 10 metres of 50mm welding cable to use as a main battery /alt cable) so that will be going in soon ish. Also added some black trim that was cream originally to the rear hatch so its looking better. We did also pop the batteries in the wheel well to look at how much the car lowered by and yes we will be lifting the car up about 2 to 3 inches as the subs well their mega heavy..

                Black trim that goes round the top half of the window

                Doesnt look alot but its very time consuming, we dont want any cables on show when the doors are open so running them through the original gromets in the doors takes for ever.

                      • Waiting on parts now. Got nothing i can do. The holder came today for the dsp so i git straight on it and with a dremel and the spare console i made a hole for the holder which in fairness looks great but its to flimsy so am looking for another spot to pop it in i wanted to use the coin pocket but its to small am thinking if i can get a twin pod mount and make it look cool al add it to the top where the top speaker was but am umming and erring.
                        Anyhow we had just enough cable to do the leftside speakers so their all in and soldered and wired up. God they look awesome!!

                        Still no Black Dye spoken to the seller finally but with LockDown their commited to the courier which am guessing are bogged down with this challenging time.

                        Heres some pics to drool on

                              I gave it a go ages ago but i couldnt get 1 part of the leather to sit correctly, am pretty good with covering stuff but i got miffed off with it and didnt bother with the rest but tbh am happy with the black and when it fades which the doors are starting to do i will eventually have alot of black dye al just paint it on

                                I've just changed my leather inserts to the vxr ones with the white stitching......sits spot on.

                                I'm sure with the amount of stuff u do to the car, you'll get it right first go
