Let me know if you want to trade those door panels for plain ones, they are two piece, the same as yours, just not diamond patterned. I can trade you some new in the box spark plugs, or a new fuel filter for that 1.6 !

I'll even deliver the door panels since I live out by Eric, and am constantly in Gwinnett.

[Shortround]

Second on the door panels I love those but I wouldn't be able to trade I have power windows and a pouch. Where do you find those, anyone know?

Thanks indie!

Dave, you said you didn't want to trade. That you were looking for the "one piece" door panels instead, otherwise we could've traded. Did you change your mind?

[dmonroe2008]

I like door panels guys. Their different and noone else has them.

[Shortround]

Yet... Jk I read all 14 pages of that cars build thread last night, got alot of ideas bone put alot of work into that car.

[dmonroe2008]

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

[dmonroe2008]

Major plans are itbs then turbo. Sometime soon coilovers and paint. That's it for now

[dmonroe2008]

[dmonroe2008]

ok so a update on the tuck. drivers side is kinda dont im not reall gonna do much more. kept te fuse box in corner thats it. on passenger side the fuse box is still out but im debateing on hideing it or leaveing it easy to access. AS of now everything is plugged in except headlights. and car runs!! did not mess anything up. so far so good and its only been about 15 hours of work so far. worst part is cutting off all old tape to expose wires.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Looks good!

[silver280zx]

Man you are doing a great job with it!

[dmonroe2008]

im maybe 15 hours into it. still need to pull out the ac unit and rest of ac lines and figure out what i wanna do with fuse boxes but i like it so far. I am thinking of only do 80% tuck and leaveing my fuse box under hood just for easy access. but ill decide later into job

[dmonroe2008]

Ok y'all tuck is done for now ended up leaving fuse boxes in the bay but that's it really. In process of putting dash back in with new seats and getting car back drivable. Pics will come tonight.

[dmonroe2008]

OK here is my first up date.. car was torn apart and just started on doing the interior first... sorry for the late update. and the fire pics its what i go when i get bored.
