been off work for 2.5weeks and off indefinitely... no clue on whether we get paid.. as far as we know its paid leave and found out the boss thinks it could be months till we open again...

so in the mean time Ive started redoing the door inserts a different way, as much as I liked the others I screwed one up and they get tacky in heat (which is pointless in summer haha)

also still working on stereo setup.. bit by bit... havent taken any pics of where the sub box is done yet, maybe tomorrow.. and lower door panels...

we decided to paint it all instead of vinyl covering.. so we are using light bondo layers etc to get everything smoothened out etc...

also had a few mates down last weekend to hang out, drink Coronas and tinker on the cars... installed half a set of rx8 seats in the cream car.. (made some brackets for him and another guy (his car isnt there) DreaminRotary on forums)), also the red car had a clutch swap done... we also grilled steak.. lots of it...

I knocked out a cupholder at work, but after test fitting I realized it isnt going to work as seat needs to slide forward to access rear seat and also you lose a lot of passenger area leg room... so on the shelf it goes for now.. Might try to mount it behind the armrest somehow..

Well I was so impressed with the bc coilover setup I helped put on my friends rx7 that I just ordered a set of fronts for my car.. 2-4week wait..

Also being 45 I have finally had enough fun with my dump pipe.. I love the snake head hanging out from under the car but tbh its obnoxiously loud.. most my kids wont ride in the car and anyone who does as soon as I start accelerating they grab their ears in prep to avoid bleeding ears..

So I made the decision and rerouted it back into the system.. havent driven it yet.. so have no comparison video as of now.. maybe tomorrow..

Those coilovers do look pretty nice aye. I went with ACBRON for mine. Exhaust is looking good! It's understandable to want a more quiet car aye th:

Mounted the front speaker build out and speakers last week.. nothing is hooked up yet.. slow process as my mate is back working and hasnt a lot of time available right now..

Also picked up a mercury villager fan, supposed to be like the taurus fan.. 2 speed.. freakin blew dirt about 10ft away from it when I was testing it.. it will take some tweaking to mount up
