ok so quick update

I got the centre console in



Still to wire up the power supplys for the phone/nav and fit the headunit

Unfortunately i did kill to death my Brax Voltmeter so i need to get another one of them

The next step is to get the glovebox out to mount the Pi in it and then to attack the wiring for the Pi, nav and phone

Cheers for the link - it was interesting


So a bit more of an update

The Brax is utterly 100% dead but as im going to replace it with another Brax i can use this as a template so this is the facia adapter for the headunit as it stands now



On the left hand side is the Epicentre LED status - inbetween is the Brax voltmeter and on the far side is the epicentre dial. I am currently just waiting for the coat of paint i put on the dry, it may need sanding off and a layer of the textured stuff putting down and then a layer of the black matt paint

So the doorcards

Today i got the delivery of the 6x9 baffles i ordered so i can start looking at how to lay them out, i came up with the ideas below





So i was going to take them to the doorcard and try it on the car to make sure nothing fowls but the heavans have opened so i cant do that - i intend to do it tomorrow, most of the baffes will go behind the doorcard but i think the speaker(s) at the top of the card will need the baffle ontop of the card due to depth but we shall see tomorrow

so the first layer of filler has gone on to try and make it look smooth up to the baffles - still a few more layers to do



And while i was at it because of how the grills will be mounted the JBL logo would not be the right way round so i rotated it

Speaker layout in doorcard



2nd layer of filler on and sanded, could still do with another layer of filler and sanding

Whilst really loud music isn't my thing, I just want to say respect for the amount of effort that has gone into that Looking forward to seeing the finished article!

So updates

On my doors i have puddle lights in the wing mirrors - these are a bit weedy so i wanted to add a bit of a trick with them

So find the wires in the door loom, cut into them and solder on my own extra plug



Then solder the other plug onto the LED projector



This is an LED projector that will do the following on the ground when the door is opened



So then mount the projector in the doorcard



now the drivers doorcard is pretty much done - just need to tidy the wiring up a bit

Onto the passenger doorcard

Final bits of sanding



Coat of the textured paint



Started to spray the doorcard black but ran out of paint - will have to finish tomorrow



So the centre console

The headunit facia adapter i made did not really work so i had another attempt at it

build up layers of bodyfiller to make the brax stand proud



Then once sanded smooth spray with textured paint and let dry





Just waiting for the black paint to dry then in the morning i can unblock the epicentre dial hole and make some adjustments if needed

and as it got darker i could get a photo of the projector under the door

Don't know why but I really hate the ford clock on the dashboard.

So the headunit facia adapter did not work so i made it again



And after a bit of a fight i got it fitted



And i got the passenger door finished and fitted - quick video of the doors

Still more to come one i get them turned up and setup as the amp gain is set to the minimum

Sorry, samuel, but do you need to be sooo heavy with the filler that you must use textured paint to cover the imperfections? I was enjoying your work, but I'm afraid this ...



looks like it's been shat on, not painted. Just seems a shame for all the time, effort and money you're putting into this.
