Ya I've been taking lots of pics - just been saving the pics since it's still in the process... I'll have a full pic update when it's done.

Started reinstalling the stereo today... Bolted a cheesy amp board to the back of the rear seat and mounted my three full range amps to it. The "twins" are under the seat still.

Well it's taken about 40 or 50 hours of labour, but I think we've done pretty good [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'll post some pics up tomorrow or Tuesday.

Paneling's all done, except for the sliding door. It went in great, with a whole bundle of R12 pink behind it all. I went to Wally World to find some trim for the seams, didn't find anything I liked though, so maybe I'll try Fanny's Fabrics or somewhere like that next month.

Carpet in - just layed in everywhere, and glued to the wheelwells, gas hump, and C pillar by the sliding door. It was a dirty area rug, so it needs a steam clean, something I'll do in the spring.

The SQ improvement with the paneling is incredible - it's like driving a complete new vehicle rather than one with 400,000 km's. Dialing in my five amps is proving to be a chore though, it's way different than when it was a bare cargo van, that's for sure. Now my Dynomax Turbo muffler is driving me nuts as it's to loud, guess I better start looking for a nice quiet muffler for it.

Power Acoustik DVD setup installed. 8in. overhead screen with swivel for the rear passengers. It has two blue LED dome lights in it, they look pretty cool, but I think white would've been more usefull as I already have some cyan rope lighting that I got from Princess Auto real cheap, installed throughout. I got a new centre console (looks like it was OE in a late model Chevy Truck or something) and installed the DIN/ISO DVD player into the back of it. Worked out well, but it didn't install flush into the curved console, so I gotta add something around the exposed chassis metal in the future. Hard wired it to the HU (no FM modulator) for SQ 5.1 Dolby Prologic II, as well as two sets of wireless headphones.

Power lock actuators installed in the sliding door and rear door. I'll rip apart my front doors sometime in the spring and get them done too.

Let's see what else... Oh I got the XBox in there for the Xmas season right now too... Halo 2 and Thief - Deadly Shadows are awesome in Dolby Prologic in that thing...
