A bunch of other stuff came out of the interior then. Backseats, all plastic panels, everything in trunk, spare, jack, carpet, seat belts etc. Things that are staying out: rear speakers, windshield washer fluid reservoir and all tubing, big black hunk'o metal behind rear seats (I lose 2 mounting points for the rear carpet and 2 mounting points for the plastic panels there but it should be fine without it), sound deadening will come out once I get some dry ice, possibly the stock antenna mechanism, stock amp, some unused audio wires (to amp and nonexistent cd changer). I decided not to mess with any of the wiring harnesses in the interior, so unused connectors will be taped up but not removed. For the windshield washer fluid reservoir, I removed all of the tubing that goes up the engine bay. I also removed all the tubing that goes to the rear squirter up to where it connects to the hatch. I had to lower the rear part of the headliner to reach in and remove the hose that travels up there, but I left the big rectangular part in that bolts to the roof so there isn't a giant hole there. I put a vacuum cap on the nipple there just to keep dirt out and water out of my interior. I will also be capping off the big rubber hose near the fill port so in case some retard tries to add washer fluid, it won't get all over my interior.
My plans for this week are to finish the weight savings in the interior (I'm only doing these mild weight savings, I won't be cutting any metal or studs out or anything like that), clean every piece that came out, and reassemble it all. I'm also going to do the azdave trunk mod (which worked great on my brothers car) while I have everything out. Whenever my hookups get to it, I need to weld, media blast, and powdercoat parts. Then I will be cleaning some rust off the chassis and repainting the spots with paint I had made up to match my car color perfectly. The engine will go back together whenever my brother has a free weekend because he would like to help assemble it and two heads are always better than one. Hopefully we can get most of it done in one weekend.
Feedback is welcome guys! Love it, hate it, think I should do something different? Let me know - I'm always open for ideas! Enjoy the pictures
