[Steven]

few things in development right now. I was hoping to get my sub box finished this weekend but alas the Epoxy gods thought otherwise (damn you sticky bastards).

Here's how it currently looks

[trentmeyer23]

That interior wrap looks awesome, gets away from that tacky plastic-y silver. Was it difficult to do?

It can get a bit fiddly, but more time consuming than difficult.

[Steven]

just an update considering I haven't done one for awhile.

Subbox is nearing completion, should have it mostly ready in a week or 2.

Custom grill is causing me grief, no idea when I'll have it done.

Just ordered 100 5mm white leds for the interior etc. I know proper ready to go leds are available for interior lighting, but the 5mm cost me $6 delivered and they're not bad to work with

Cant wait to see your subbox competed Steve, have you had a chance to measure the voume?

Make sure you have your leds finished for 2 thursdays time as i wont be there this week :P i was going to go jaycar on the weekend and get the ones Daryl mentioned but i was to lazy and i was more interested in getting my xperia lol.

I won't be a this weeks meet either due to work commitments.

Yep measured it the other day using water, came to about 34L, which is pretty close to what I wanted.

Factory GPS is out and sold, though it seems I'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks before getting the new one so no music for awhile :(

thanks for the offer mate, but I took Daryl up on his as on second thought I couldn't wait that long :)

DJKOR - Cheers mate, you're an absolute champ

You're welcome mate. Music is just one of those things that you have to have while driving. These two head units aren't of any use in the cupboard here anyways.

[Steven]

I'm sure driving long periods without any sound counts as torture in some countries (afterall it's women who invented it)

But, I have music again! also took the opportunity to adjust the storage bins slightly as some of the carbon fibre was lifting and jamming it. On that note I'm seriously thinking of redoing it, but this time using superglue as well. It simply lifts out at the edges too easily.

Hows your sub grill going.

[Steven]

Hows your sub grill going.

I just need to take a sander to the box on wednesday, then it will be ready for carpeting etc. Not sure what I'll be doing grill wise.

[Steven]

I can't believe it, I've actually been able to finish one of my projects!

Behold, my home-made strut bar!

[DJKOR]

^ I see what you did there. Good effort mate. You must have a few good tools at your place to be able to bend the pieces at the end.

The pics don't really show, but the end pieces where it bolts to the strut towers are actually welded. I wish I had the tools to bend 4mm plate steel :)

[SecaBoy]

maybe the its just the camera, but your engine bay looks like a pale yellow and not the gold colour of the outside of your car...

either way, thats pretty cool man... how much did it end up costing you?
