Today's plan was to prep for the laying of the sound deadening. First job was removing the seats
Also took out the Centre Console - Need to make room for the roof brace ;) (more on that in a moment)
once the seats and the centre console was out i could take out the carpet Its very manky so will be sourcing a replacement from ebay
This is where the base of the roof brace is going to be - angled up to the centre of the top of the windscreen
I also needed to take down the front headlining
Im still undecided about what to do with the sunroof either leave it in and build down from it or remove it and get some sheet metal over the hole in the roof and sikaflex it in place and blend it to the rest of the roof and repaint. More info on that when I decide
I also removed the door trims ready to begin working on possible door build designs
Tej had some solid door builds on for some 8" Morel speakers I believe
I needed to remove them as I have to put a pair of GZCW 10" Mids in each door
I still have the build that should just screw onto the existing panels if anyone with a Shogun wants them give me a shout
So the interior is all stripped out and when you slam a door it sounds like a tin can
One of the other things I will be working on is tidying up the wheels - I had a little go today with some 220 grit sanding pads and was encouraged by my 2 mins work - i cleaned the wheels with some soapy water to get rid of any dirt then just used the pad to get into the wheel
Before
After
Final plan is to sand it back alot more and get them tidy before some gun metal paint on them.
Also got a new tool for tomorrows work - a 2000w heat gun ;) should have that sound deadening sticking very well ;)
