Project 504

[DubSteve]

I then for the next week after it ran with the entire system minus the sub in the boot just to see weight wise how everything went I will not be able to fit hardly anything in here maybe one of those 6 can ice coolers that’s about it. I knew there wasn’t going to be much room in there from the beginning but you get the point


All there is in there is a box from work my sub under my work bag……Oh dear!!!

So last weekend I went down to my dads workshop and got in there and made my battery rack that I will need for my battery (Derrr!) when I relocate it to the back so I made this J






Thin bits of steel, cut down and then welded with a few holes down the bottom to be screwed in for anchorage. I am also going to run a rubber strap over the top to keep it settled.

I had some difficulty trying to fit the backboard into the car with the baby bar in there. So I found where my problem was and got to work snipping



And then sanded in back slightly for some paint.



Its becoming black again cause you won’t see it so I thought why not stealth and the white colour that I had painted it before hand looked fugly.

Yum Yum black J

The boot light would be covered up by the side panels that I made so I took htat into consideration and made the light cable longer for the light to be relocated J


The back of the car needed a panel so I made another panel out of plywood something thin and poked a hole through it for the light J




If you can see I didn’t really get a good shot but if you look down the bottm you can see a vinyl line that’s where it sits and it shines light towards the sub. I will fit a LED bulb in there to give it some more light J




Did a quick test fit and noticed that the panels needed to be pushed out slightly so I bent some thin strips of aluminium and then painted them black cause no one would see them and painting them would look more professional. They push the side panels in nice and tight so that there is no gaps in the corners.



You will see where the brackets get put later on J

The weekend that just passed was a big one and I was really happy with the progress that I got through J

After a couple of months ago I cleaned up the wheel well and sprayed some zinc and rust kill I finally was able to spray it just quickly so that it looked a lot more better and professional hehe.



I then setup my Sub and wire holes and secured them into place. The wires that will run from the sub to the amp will come through this bit of lathed aluminium

[DubSteve]

Then setup the sub for secureness lol.


As you can see this is where I mounted those brackets that I talked about earlier on the sides towards the top!



What the whole thing will look like from the top.

[DubSteve]

I then mounted the amp in place making sure that it cleared the side and also cleared the sub box it was a rally close squeeze haha.




The carnage of destruction that I left on Saturday after a full days work was too tired to clean up anything hehe only joking



Sunday was a big day aswell as I took off the interior pillars, headliner, side moulds and VR archs Sad but cleanliness is next to godliness lol.

Pics to follow J

[DubSteve]

I had to use a piece of aluminium that had to hold up the headliner cause it was going to crash on top of me hehe.



These are where they are coming lose and was not my first reason for wanting to change the headliner I didn’t even notice this until a few weeks ago, there are two exactly the same size one on each size.





Pieces are everywhere didn’t realise you take a car apart and there are pieces everywhere I have run out of room all over the place hehe.

Inside shot, nice and bear looks like I am going to race this thing strip it completely




I didn’t get any shots of when I took the trims off so I took some pics today while I was at work, I didn’t realise how dirty underneath the trims where there was a fair bit of build up under there L Now that they have been removed I will roll the rear guards in preparation for some phatness
