    Got ANOTHER package in from these fools.. Thanks Kyle (Kylar96) and Bryan.. and Laura for shipping it





    ----------------------------------------------

    Some of my stuff surprising shipped today.. and I did some playing..



    -----------------------------------------------

    Welp, this weekend should be busy..

    I got back from the HD this afternoon after work. I was expecting to spend like $35. NOPE! Wound up seeing other stuff I could use and spending double that!



    Next, I took a look at tracking.. Everything should be here by Friday



    Now, lets give a little shoutout to CleanSierra. I shot him a txt at like 8 last night. I know he was a sweet, precise router setup.. and asked him to make 6 cuts. Well, fuck.. he had them out in the mail around around like noon. Dafuq??

    THANKS JUSTIN!!

    He sent me these pics too..







    Also, weather should be high 70s - low 80s all weekend, and sunny.. so I should be pretty damn productive

    Worked a LOT today. Fuck, the whole day was spent on Diamond.

    So, first thing I did was take off the a pillars, strip 'em, and then sand them.



    Then, I mounted the rings..





    Following that, I wrapped them and got started on the doors.

    SURPRISE! Under the vinyl, theres foam that had to be sanded off. Ugh..



    Meh, whatever. Sanded here down a little, and drilled a hole for the second speaker.



    Next, I looked at how much depth I need for the panels.

    This is where i got*PISSED!*When I checked for depth before I even bought the drivers months ago, I only looked at the drivers side.

    The drivers side has adjustable seat bolsters, which i had "in" so that theyd hug me for more spirited driving. Sounds good, right? Allows for more speaker depth.*

    NO! The passengers side doesnt have adjustable bolsters.

    I debated calling it quits, gave up, and just throwing in an 8 per door.

    So, here was my solution.. Mounting the mid a little higher.



    This'll never be seen, so I didnt try to make the holes too clean.



    Looks pretty similar, eh? My tape measure thinks so.







    Yes, I cleaned up what I could from the ponte. It didnt want to let any of my blades cut it though. Scissors only get so close.

    Next, was my dash piece.



    Nothing crazy going on here, but crazy enough to need to be glassed.

    Heres how it all sits now..



    Now, for the doors and pillars, Im thinking of just painting them. It'll save me a LOT of stress LOL

    Before doing any more work, i threw them on just to check AGAIN for clearance. Talk about rough...

    Looks like they need some of this..

    I ran out and need to get some more. Im actually glad I ran out, because I wouldve caked it on. Now that the filler has cured and I've sanded, I see how it works much better.
    *
    Unfortunately round 2 of the filler will have to wait until NEXT weekend, as i have plans this weekend.
    *
    Here are pics of them BARELY sanded..

    Heres after some more TLC

    Again, this is all I can do without more filler. It feels butter smooth where I was able to apply the filler, although it looks a bit rough in the pics.

    Im going to throw them on for like a week and a half until I could do some more work on them.*
    *
    Im only installing the handle and window/lock switches most likely.. No trim pieces..*
    *

    *

    *
    I noticed one little problem. Well, its not really a problem, but its gonna bug me.
    *

    *
    See that little gap? Some filler got in the way. Ill need to sand that off tomorrow.*
    *
    That's all for now.
