I am re-fitting the stereo blanking plate that you can see in this photo.

So will be re-locating the head unit to the glove box, so a little trimming in MDF is required.

Have cut the back off the glove box for access.

Still have a little space for gloves on the left of the head unit.

Just have to take apart and cover in accoustic felt and that's another job done.

Forgot to mention, can't wait to put this back together so I can use my Christmas presents.

Doing the same with my sport.

Did it on my spider, but you'll need to add a fan to keep it cool if your tightly enclosing it

^ and especially with an alpine, I found they run much hotter than anything else..
Always nice to get some new tools, rachet spanners are probably the most useful tool(s) i've bought so far.

Dismantled ready for re-trim.

Apologies for not taking photos along the way, hands were a bit gummed up.

Was a tight fit getting this all back in there with the additional thickness of the carpet. Pretty chuffed with the results.

As I was in a trimming mood, the parcel shelf thingy got the same treatment.

The 6x9's with be mounted below and not protrude at all.

Thats amazing! Think i might have to put mine in the glovebox seeing as my decent alpine got nicked! But its whether i have the balls to ruin my gsi glovebox, perhaps you should start making some for people on here ill pay good money!:)

"Finally" I hear you cry, there's paint on the car.
Ok, it's just the engine bay and boot lip, but it's a start. Hopefully have the shell painted this time next week.

The valance has just had a guide coat to highlight any imperfections, but all is ok so it'll get flatted and painted again.

The inside isn't being painted as apart from the doors, there will be not metal exposed.
I am chuffed as a chuffed thing.
Shaun.
