Update...

Ok so today I got all my plastic panels that needed to be foamed, foamed. Stated foaming my car itself I’m about half way done with it. I also did my big three upgrades today (that was a bitch) and put in my new battery. No pictures yet ran out of time. Tomorrow I’m going to finish the foam and properly run all wires then hopefully start fiber glassing my doors.


Oh I also ordered my cold air intake today too it’s an AEM.

the big 3 is....

battery ground
alt ground
alt power

these are often undersized from the factory and replacing (adding is normally recommenced over replacing) with bigger wire often helps out quite a bit

^^^ I did all knukonceptz 1/0 gauge. I did from the alt to the ac/dc converter (way hard to get to and that wire was only 10g) then to the fuse box, from the fuse box to the new battery, battery ground and the engine ground. Everything runs so much smoother now its crazy.

I also got the new wire through the same grommet that the factory power wire was ran through that part was actually kinda easy.

OH NINJAS, more!...


First up the doors got sealed off used some 1/8" plywood that I sealed so no water could penetrate. Then screwed on over the holes in my door then sludged over it.





Now it’s the doors again I foamed them all up...




Then some quick pictures of the interior and trunk lid foamed (I'll take some better pictures tomorrow)




I’m currently working on my speaker wires make'n them look all nice and clean I'll post more pictures tomorrow when I’m done with them.

Ok so a lil more today.

Finished my speaker wires got them looking sexy... Tinned the tips, heat shrunk the leads, labeled at where my amps gonna be and for the whole run I loomed it. Middle picture is of the mids. The last one is the tweeters. Made them a quick disconnect and impossable to be out of phase.




I did have some good pictures of the inside of how I ran my power/speaker wires and the foam but, NO my phone had to screw up and take a picture that was super small and I didn’t find this out until just now.

So that means tomorrow I'll hopefully get some good pictures of the interior and maybe some more new work.
