As of now it has new security system (finally), and today I'm working on the power windows and locks, the interior is all set and waiting to be put on. I'll snap a few shots of the progress and post them up later.

I got the power!!!!! Finish putting power locks and windows last night, and its working. only the driver door window actuator it's fried, but everything else is working. took only a couple of pictures of it, was too busy cursing and splicing wires lol.
Interior is going in this weekend, as soon as I finish.

#109702 thanks for the comments everyone
Some more pics that I took during the past few days.
I got two doors from a donor car and at first I was thinking about painting the interior panels cause they were gray, but then I decided to just chance the panel insert :? , from the new panels to my old ones. I was going to re-wrap the fabric anyways so it was an easy decision.
This procedure its easy and there's a ton of DIYs around. On to the pics....
My brother helping me with the panels

two panel insert ready for the fabric
Image
I got 2 yards of black cloth from a fabric shop and the lady suggested that I buy this glue
Image

Round 1... Fight!!!!
Image
Image
FAIL!!! :lol:
Image
I tried to do it all the piece at once and fail miserably. Without another set of helping hands.

I got to redo everything again, this time a small piece at a time
Round 2... Fight!!!!
Image
Image
Image
Driver side... All done
Image
Pass side
Image
Image
Image
Still got to clean the excess glue and put them together.

Now the power windows and lock. I already got the power mirrors so the wires were already there.
Image
Pass side with old set-up, only wire is for the mirrors. Gots to go!!!
Image
Die!!
Image
Power window regulator :woot:
Image
Pass door all done!!
Image
Image

driver door, at this stage I was so damn pissed I only took a couple of pics and not the amount I would've like I spent the majority of the time cursing. The previous owner cut almost all the wiring harnesses, it was a mess
Image
Image
Image
Image
This crap is done, everything works except for the driver window regulator, apparently it's fried now I'm looking for a new one. Put the side skirts yesterday I'm working overtime to finish before Monday cause I start work. I'll see if I can snap a couple of pics of the hatch as it is right now. The interior is going in saturday including repo carpet.

I really don't know the name of the fabric but it is stretchy, and that help a lot when making the curves on the insert. The texture is like a lot of kind of "braided" small circles that feels nice :lol: .

Here's a pic of driver side finish:

#109804 very nice job and good job taking care of that jungle of wires i mean i have seen worse trust me but that looked pretty decent. nice job cleaning it up and nice job on the door panels i gotta end up doing this as well.....but i think i may choose red fabric just wondering how big of a fabric cut did you get per panel?

Thanx man, those wires killed me. I still need to fix some loose ones, so I might just eliminate them. I got 1 yard of fabric and that was enough to make 3 panels, the first one that I messed up, and the other 2 that I'm using. I took the old fabric out lay it on top of the new fabric and gave 1 inch of slack all around.


I got lazy this weekend and just put the panels on the hatch, didn't put the carpet, the A/C or fix the driver window regulator... Damn!!
I'm at a crossroads right now guys, my tranny is giving up on me and I'm short on funds so I got to decide, refreshing the D16z6 or try and fix the tranny :(
