[QUOTE="Tex Arcana, post: 11158722, member: 15892"] Of course, we're in the slowest part of any project like this: all the itty-bitty details that need buttoning up (the edges of the panels, etc), that seem to take the longest. :-/ So, in test fitting the dash and power point door, I found out that my MediaLink bit won't fit where I wanted it (under the power points, where it's been sitting the last few months): [ATTACH=full]245752[/ATTACH] This is the USB/AV plug-in unit for the radio, another reason I chose the thing. When test-fitting the radio surround and ducts, I found out that the left-side duct has a nice area beneath it, corresponding with where the airbag defeat switch for the passenger side seat sits on the right side... so, hmmmm... let's put it there!! Break out the fauxDremel, and get to cutting! [ATTACH=full]245753[/ATTACH] Coming thru the front... uh, oh: forgot that I've got the piece PlastiDipped: [ATTACH=full]245754[/ATTACH] So, peel that shyt off! [ATTACH=full]245755[/ATTACH] Cut done! [ATTACH=full]245756[/ATTACH] Uh oh... I cut it too big. :mad: ***k me! Luckily, I've got ABS sludge to the rescue!! [ATTACH=full]245757[/ATTACH] Hmmm... should I do it this way... or fill it and start over?? [ATTACH=full]245758[/ATTACH] ***k it: start over. [ATTACH=full]245759[/ATTACH] More blood'n'guts for the project! [ATTACH=full]245760[/ATTACH] Mmmmm, sluuudge: [ATTACH=full]245761[/ATTACH] While we're waiting for the slude to set, let's reinforce the cupholder some more: [ATTACH=full]1260304[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245762[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245764[/ATTACH] While working with the steering wheel piece, I found the rubber gasket had a small tear... so fix it with super glue and PlastiDip!! [ATTACH=full]245765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245766[/ATTACH] Hmmmm.... I need to upholster the cupholder, too: [ATTACH=full]245767[/ATTACH] That'll be in a bit. [/QUOTE]
