Blog Title: Flash's 2g DSM build!!!
I wanted to share with everyone on DSMTuners, my 2g's interior build. It has since went into the engine bay. I felt like I had too much clutter inside the cabin and wasn't happy with it. I didn't want this to be like the typical gutted DSM that looks like shit. Since it is all in typical Flash-fashion- I think you will all enjoy since I haven't seen this done to a DSM yet.

Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress- More Interior Progress!

Posted 08-08-2011 at 01:23 PM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

In this update I have started to install the interior wiring harness. I started from the back and worked my way forward. This will be one of the least exciting updates. I am personally pumped when I can get the dash back in, install my Sparco seats and install my Schroth harness! Stay tuned!

In the next update I will be messing with the Stack wiring, the front interior harness, rewiring...

Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress- Pedals and Door Handles Installed!

Posted 07-31-2011 at 11:04 AM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)
Tags door, oem, pedals, plugs

Well, nothing much has happened since the interior was sprayed. I wanted to allow for enough time for the paint to dry.
I started to install the pedals. And I also picked up some OEM body plugs from the dealer!

Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress- Interior is Finally Painted!!!

Posted 07-24-2011 at 06:17 PM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

Well, after many hours of prep work I finally finished painting the interior. From the outset I didn't have any experience doing body work, there was a learning curve to this whole project and I came away with a much better understanding of what goes into body work. I wish I could stress the amount of hours I spent prepping, scrapping, grinding on the inside, also removing every plug, screw, nut,...

Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress!!! Sparco Seat Fitting!

Posted 07-19-2011 at 03:49 PM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

I now have moved on to test fitting the new Sparco Circuit seat that I have. I also decided to upgrade to a much better harness too, I decided on the Schroth Profi II Hans 6pt. Schroth supplies harnesses to all the Nascar teams, probably 50% of the F1 teams, and Porsche Motorsports uses only Schroth. I once had a Team Tech 4pt harness, and the difference in quality is very evident. What I like is...

Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress!!! Continued Paint Prep!

Posted 07-15-2011 at 06:12 PM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

I bough the paint and everything else. I continue to grind away at the seam sealer. There is a lot of dust. Prepping with red scotch brite pads by hand (this sucks). As you can see, all the sound deadening and seam sealer is removed! That was by far the most time consuming part, besides removing everything from the interior!

Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress!!! Paint Prep!

Posted 07-14-2011 at 03:24 PM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

Ok, so up to this point I've been working hard to strip my car. Now the fun part can start- prepping the metal for the paint. Actually, this part sucked and taught me that it takes a lot of time. It's fairly easy to do, but it just takes a lot of time!
The sound deadening in the trunk on the wheel tubs was the most difficult to remove. I think I spend 3 hours on each side chipping away the...

Flash's 2g DSM build- Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress!!!

Posted 07-13-2011 at 01:00 PM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

Ok, so the progress has fairly stagnant lately. I started from the back of the car and have worked my way forward. It has been a lot of work to get to the front. Another thing to note: I removed the A/C unit and the heater unit. That will free up some room under the dash!

After the last of the wires are out it will be time to start prepping for paint!

Flash's 2g DSM build- Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress!!!

Posted 07-12-2011 at 11:29 AM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

Ok, not much progress in this update. I did strip everything at least to half way. It took a lot of time to decide the order everything comes out in and to label every nut and bolt so it goes back together properly and easily. A lot of doubt was going through my mind at this point! What did I get myself into!

Flash's 2g DSM build- Complete Interior Rebuild In Progress!!!

Posted 07-11-2011 at 07:52 AM by Flash (Flash's 2g DSM build!!!)

Let's kick things off! The seats had just been removed, and I was test fitting my new harness bar before painting. The sound deadening on the rear wheel tub proved to be the hardest to remove.
