Listen, that chair is red neck no matter which way you look at it. :lol: However, like I said I plan to build one as well. I'll put it right beside my non working TV that has my working TV on top of it. :D

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

haha yea i love the green, it matches the speakers almost perfectly. I to have a TV on top of a TV =O

So yea, I couldn't take sitting inside and not do anything to my car today. I painted my wiper blades, and the plastic underneath it. Ignore the massive amount of bird poo, its what happens when you park under a tree for a month lol. I did clean off my windshield just for you guys though. =]

It has been to long seance I did a update, trying to get a parts car lol. I took my back seat out and re fabricated it to match the green interior style. I will probably be doing this to the bottom to, as soon as it comes in. (thanks Sisko182)

I also plan to use the same fabric on the back panels so painting them was kinda useless lol , along with my door panels.

Alright so here is how it looks in the car. I realized that all the black in the car was faded, so i took some left over night shade and started touching everything up. It works quite well for the job to! Left a nice and shinny coat of paint.

Anyway here is how it looks, ignore the messed up green lol, I'm going to put the same fabric as the seat on it.

Image

It's kind of hard to see, but I put tweeters in the panels. I will take a clearer picture of them tomorrow.

And last of the night, some random shots :D

So my factory rear speaker housing is pretty broken on both sides. So I plain to fiberglass some custom ones. I only have one side finished and ready for the resin and mat. It's taking me some time to do them seance I want them as accurate to each other as possible.

Last night I finished up all the wiring for one side of my trunk speakers. I was to tired to get up and post this however. Here is all the wiring plus i also redid my mold with masking tape to get a better shape and so the resin will stick better. So here is how it will look. :]

Now today I finished fiber glassing the seat belt/speaker cover. I prefer to use lose mat rather then the sheets or fleece. I think that using it gives a better and more accurate end product. =] There are some lose spots only because it is finished under it. All those spots need is to be trimmed and sanded. I used tin foil that my coals for my hookah came in for the little round spot that the screw goes in. Man it was a pain to get that spot flush haha. But here it is. I will post more once it drys.
