Hello...I have an update today.

The trim shop is getting into things and sorting out the foundations of the interior. They are up against it with a slightly unreasonable customer (what do you mean 10 inch subs in the front doors are impractical? I just want 10 inch subs in the front doors etc...). But they have done well to move things forward after getting me to agree that dreams and reality don't always meet. So the interior sound deadening is now on the walls and roof, the rear roof has a frame and timber base, and the front passenger roof has got a fiberglass plug made so that it stays to the contour of the actual roof. This keeps things very high as I want to install a roof console above the driver and passenger with additional A/V items in it. Will try and fit a tape deck, spectrum analyser and perhaps some extra controls and lighting in it as well. In the front engine bay, things are not yet advanced enough to warrant a report today but I'm hoping for some items to get finished in the next few weeks. Anyway...here's some pics...

Rear speaker locations locked in. There will be a total of 8 x 5 or 6 inch co-axials mounted in a long speaker boxes along the tops of the walls (4 x each side).

The scuff plates have been modified so they will run the entire length of the floor and butt up against a panel behind the seats. Manual handbrake is being removed and replaced with electric version...

And now the fiberglass roof plug. It has been finished and trimmed to size with a steel skeleton frame above it so the roof console can hang safely.

And finally...resurrecting the A pillar trims so they can be used again...
