My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

[Earl]

Yup=)   (tweeter and speaker in each door, speaker in each foot well, and then two small speakers with two larger ones in the back)

I have a wiring diagram I just need to figure out how to get it from it's secured form to something I can send you that's readable.

[Earl]

That's awesome! Thank you Pat

Also, screw purchasing from Panjo. I bought a set of brand new oem grilles that a guy had sitting and he hasn't responded to anything since I bought them over a week ago. I also emailed Panjo to get a hold of him and they haven't even responded to me. Such a joke

[patsbimmer1]

Damn it @Earl, respond to my text.

[Earl]

I was in a meeting haha. My apologies

[Earl]

Fiddled with a few things on Saturday. Not much to post pictures of as I was mocking up my actuator for my push button hatch release system and some other small things.

Some comparisons between old and new

[patsbimmer1]

When this thing is done you will have touched every single individual part on this car.

[Earl]

It seems that way. I will have to read back through and see what I didn't touch so I can go loosen up those bolts and retighten them lol

Picked up more parts from the dealer on Friday. Was pretty impressed with the unboxing experience for the HVAC panel

New versus old

Ummmmm.......is there a difference?

There is a nick where someone removed the clock with a small screwdriver. There are small scratches along the bottom side from people with rings using the ashtray. The red portion of the temperature decal also has some discoloration. It works functionally and is in pretty great shape compared to most peoples. I sold it for $15 to another compact guy haha

[KaiserRolls]

Are all compact guys gifted?

[Earl]

Just me=P

It works halfway decent

That all depends on what you consider "gifted" 

[Earl]

I installed my new license plate mounting plugs, screws, and washers yesterday. The old ones were left in when the trunk was resprayed. I have a feeling the whole hatch will be resprayed when the car goes back to paint so I will make sure to remove all of the trunk handle inserts and the license plate mounting plugs so they don't just spray over them again. I do need to figure out the correct part number for the license plate screw plastic caps. They're a bit bigger than the interior screw caps. 

I also finally finished a project that I have been working on for 2 years off and on. I set it aside and forgot about it countless times when it made me angry and wasn't turning out great. 

I can post in process pictures that I took along the way if anyone is interested in what I all did.

"When the car goes back to paint"

What is going on here? Is it getting re-painted?!?!?
