    Rings for the tweeters mounted
    Stretched with grill cloth, resined, layered up with fiberglass cloth, body worked, and mixture of filler/resin poured into the pod to make it more solid.

    I want to add cup holders but the E brake handle was in the way so out it went. I made a void in the sub enclosure by glassing over a 4" pvc and added an actuator.

    If your state has inspections you may want to re-think or look into that as the handbrake has to be manually mechanically operated in some places (many with inspections)

    I don't have no stinkin' inspections.

    Of all thestates, I'd expect cali to be the strictest. I'll be damned.

    I will be continuing the E30 theme into the door panels. I picked up some E30 window regulator motors and interior door grab handles/armrests. I took apart some new VW regulators and mated the E30 motors to them. The power windows are operating perfect.
    I grafted the door handle mounting points to the door. I still have much more metal work to do to the doors.
    Started on a trim panel/center console.

    This is coming along nicely. I've always liked those VWs.
