I will chop a full day out before new years and maybe just maybe goat rope a friend or two into helping. BBQ and beer usually works

Well I pulled an all dayer and got them installed. Out with the old crusty parts

A little cleaning and chassis paint goes along way

And for the final touch

 

[Rodknok]

Got some time to start working in the interior

Got the lower panel wrapped and same trimming of the upper was required. Next will be the uppers in black.

Those is the door panel upper skins

 

[Rodknok]

Got the speakers mounted in the rear pods. For some reasons all of my JL audio 6.5s don't fit I guess they are the larger 6.75 frames. Any ways I had some decent speaker that fit.

Also my buddy got the upper door panels glued down and wrapped up.

And here goes the new uppers. This was my buddies first time doing door panels so I'm the test dummy. Also I need more material so we can wrap the lower panel in the satin black

Are you just wrapping the whole lower or gonna put something in the carpet spot?

The front lowers come with a insert panel that goes where the normal carpet spots go on the OEM lowers. I'm going to do them in the dark grey suede.

Here goes the lower panels. My buddy really had a hard time as the material was only a 2 way stretch.

Final product
