The rear piece...is that the whole rear half of the door panel?

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 2:45 pm

its the lower section of the rear door panels. im going to do the upper section in cheetah and the insert in plaid.

thats will come later today.

this gives you a better idea of what part it is.

early door panels are different that 03+ which are molded as one single piece of plastic. I noticed this on my 00 which has a separate upper piece that is covered in material not just plastic.

i have 4 sets of early 2 piece door panels too play with, this set is coming out how i want it too so far.

i was lurking around the SRT and they are all high-5ing because they managed to wrap door inserts, one guy said he drilled out the plastic welds with a 1/2 drill bit im going to try that tomorrow.

I used an electric soldering iron and melted them, then re-melted them back together when I was done.

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 9:47 am

did you do it as if you were cutting a circle around the joint.

i was thinking of use the drill and then melting it back together i have done it that way before. i cut them apart with a knife the first couple times i did it, too dangerous though.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 12:17 pm

Yes I melted the entire circle around where it met the panel.

Nate: thanks , i cant wait see your car boost, you better be boosted before i am next winter.

Ntyvirus1: those are comments i like to here

LSP: i will probaly give that a try tonight the drilling it out sounds faster but you might remove too much material.

Workin on it... the turbo is mounted now. just need to mess with the oil lines, and cooliant.

Then comes the fun stuff.. wiring and piping...

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 2:39 pm

I <3 wiring , go check my NYG log to verify that.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 2:50 pm

If you drill it, it won't adhere properly with a regular adhesive, you're better off melting it, taking the extra time and re-melting it back on to assure that it stays put. Unless you have plastic welder.

this is the only part of the interior i didn't think would be possible to do, well it turns out it is.

ENJOI

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:30 pm

thanks man , i didn't know it up until a couple weeks ago, i cant wait to see this done. i have it pictured in my head.

Would it be uber gay if i put on lambo style doors, i think im almost at the point were the car cant get much lamer.

i know that poster was going to show up, my girlfriend like them. i think they will kind of go with the theme of the car.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:35 pm

What is your theme?

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:37 pm

show car,

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:44 pm

But the theme of it? "Show car" is not a theme really.

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:48 pm

well i find body kits, 19's and lambos kind of all go together

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:51 pm

Not normally in a good way, IMHO.

I think a clear cut theme or vision is definitely the way to go though. Envision the parts that you want, and be sure they all go together.

For example, Crystal's car. The coloring, interior, engine, etc all work together as her theme.

As opposed to so many other "show" car owners that just keep throwing miscellaneous parts at the car for no reason.

1972demon · Post by **1972demon** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 7:02 pm

well i think lambos will suit it.

the interior will be carried out through out the trunk and engine bay as well.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 7:13 pm

You're going to put plaid in your engine bay?
