That's a good point. I think I'll continue with these, but I have a buddy with access to a water jet cutter. Perhaps I can have him make me a set made out of polycarbonate. It would be an easy swap.

I'm going to try a notched approach.

I have some Kilz. Perhaps that can prolong water absorption.

BoneZ · 09-19-2015, 05:50 PM

Where is my son? I need little hands.

8mm ratcheting wrench is your friend

Indeed. Mine only went to 10mm.

Maybe a couple good coats of bedliner would do the trick.

Thus far, this has been the easiest car I've ever gutted. Gotta love Japanese design simplicity.

Destruction continues.

I have read some say running the wires into the doors is a pain. This is what I did and it only took two minutes.

Get you some of this steel wire. It's easy to fish though the rubber conduit and you can see where it's poking to squeeze and reshape it.

Once you get it though, attach the wire and pull it though. I pierced the center of the speaker wire and ran the steel wire though for good grab. Tape smooths the points.
