I like your taste in audio, Focal have to be one of the best sounding speakers around.The car ain't bad either! Love your work.

Phew!
Had to take the car to a new shop (third shop now) to keep this project moving.

Today was a day to celebrate...an amazing milestone.

First time the 675hp motor was fired up! Mufflers sound great.

Starting to feel like it is actually going to be finished!

Sintra
Impervious to water and lighter than mdf wood.
Layer it and glue it properly.

Sinister and imposing in a very well executed way.

I can't remember now...I bought them so long ago...

They used to have harness holes in them that I filled in, the shoulder wings were also cut down slightly...there is now a left and a right.

they were stripped down and re-upholstered. I bought the thinnest ones I could find (within reason) to attempt to get the most leg room possible...and it is still tight.
