I still have so much to do before JAE, but then again, who hasnt :yes:

I fitted new speakers in the front doors, 6x9's mounted to the door card behind the grill so it looks stock.

Fitted the door feed for the led in the open door marker light, installed a couple of led strips in the footwells, still got the stainless indiglows to go in and rear strips.

Spent a couple of days making a 2 din surround for my new stereo, will get some closer pics in daylight of that, but heres a few night time shots for now.

Looking.Excellent.Dude :cool2:

Looks great, at least your getting somewhere with yours.

 

I feel as if i'm going backwards recently with mine.

Well ive got to start the engine change on tuesday, i just hope the weather holds out. My mates garage isnt quite long enough, i was hoping to have done it by now, so now im a week further behind with it than i had hoped, so getting the little bits done makes me feel like im getting somewhere lol

Nice!

Happy Feet!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

Get the day pics up of the stereo surround. I really want to do mine, tried before but I struggled as didn't know what to do lol

You have had a whole year since last JAE and you still have not got it ready :helpsmilie:

 

Those footwell lights - just wired into the 'lights on'? Dont worry I dont want :sneaky2: or do I :winkiss:

 

And those door marker lights look very suspiciously like mine :tt2: they look gorgeous!!!

You have had a whole year since last JAE and you still have not got it ready :helpsmilie:

 

mine or groovers?

I know , i know, but it will be finished enough for this years JAE, engine and box in next week, booked in to be sprayed on the 19th.

 

Footwell strips ive wired up to come on with the interior light the same as the door lights, that i sold you a pair of :tt2:

I always leave things to the last minute lol, i end up helping mates with their cars and mine ends up last as per :cursing:

 

But dont forget i spent alot of time on the engine tart up so i dont feel as bad:cool3:

Will take some pics in a bit Lee, i will take it out so you can see the back of it too. I used some acrylic to space the bottom, i cut some pieces of the metal back plate to give me the sides then P40, then filler then i sprayed high build 2k primer (not in a can) then a couple of coats of satin black (from a can) as i didnt have any in a tin and didnt want to buy half a litre for the cost. Then i put my carbon trim back over the top to finish it off.

You make that sound really easy lol

You make that sound really easy lol

 

Getting the shape or deciding what to use is the hardest part, but once youve got the shape then filled, smoothed etc, its fairly straight forward.

 

Before i started it, i sat and looked at it for 10 mins once id cut the middle bar off to decide what best to do, then once you have the plan in your head, go for it. :donatello:

 

I used bosch multi to cut the plastic ( works on vibration to cut) then used a power file to take off the rest. I have a spare panel i could do a how to on. The only reason i didnt do it on mine was time.

What colour base coat are you going with this year, hehehehe :clap:

Its called Hello Yellow and it will be sprayed lol, even if i have to do it myself.

Here you go Lee.

 

 

You can see the gap created by the acrylic filler piece compared to the original carbon surround cutout, which was flush

looks proper oem :cool3:

You have had a whole year since last JAE and you still have not got it ready :helpsmilie:

 

 

Think ive had 3 years and mines miles off still!!

 

Love the tv in the centre console. And your dial lights look awsome!!

I have a great idea, why dont you do a how to on mine ;-)

I tried fiberglassing one before... Wait until you see this mess!!!

This is the proper stereo

If you dont need for a week or so, send it down to me and i will do it for you. I guess the measurements of the 2 din stereo are pretty standard. Does the screen open/slide from the bottom?

Do you want satin black or gloss?

Have you still got my address?

I will do the inner surround slightly smaller than the stereo hole, so you can trim it exactly as you want.

 

Cheers

Graham

You star :-)

I believe it is a standard size but it seems to sit in a different place to my old one. It is a sliding screen too, comes all the way out.

Is satin what it is normally? Just black does me haha.

 

Can you pm me your address please :-)

That's looking awesome Graham - I can't wait to see the finished product!!!

 

But it's not looking likely I will be at JAE this year as we're going on hols 3rd September - we come back on the Saturday of JAE. The Sunday might just be possible though.....

 

....However we are actually holidaying on the Island again that week, so if you're about mate.....!!
