Yah its alright I am prollly confusing lol. I need to get the seat tracks out of the maroon car to get the carpets.

say i was wondering,how much do you think the seats weigh??

you mean the seat itself or the seat including the tracks and motors? I have both lol

the seat itself plus the motors and tracks/.....

I guess I will have to pick one up again and try to guess i may try to weight it and. If i can get it weighed I will weigh one with tracks and motors and one without tracks and motors the only thing that you wont know by doing that is what the heated stuff weighs because I dont have that

great! i appreciate that

Robo- just wondering is their a reson why you want to know this? I just sometimes like to know what the reason is behind doing something lol. Maybe I am just wierd. I mean if you want to use it for a list of stuff and what it weighs I could weigh everything for you lol but idk what someone could use all that info from? But if their is a reson behind it I could do a huge write up on what everything weighs in a list let me know.

So you would prolly like me to weigh everything I have taken out right? I may do that if i get bored lol but doubt it. I will try to weigh the seats if i get time that is all i can promise you. If i weigh everything it would prolly make you happy lol. So you can decide if you want to remove carpet and panels so you can maybe go faster without all that stuff lol jk.

lol if you can just weigh the seats that would be cool. thanks

Thanks for the pics Ben, + from me. I love this kind of stuff, its good to see what something should look like at each stage should one feel the need to do this. Also, as far as the rear panel, I had taken out the seat and door sill panel and had popped off the bottom of the rear panel but the middle was stubborn and I was afraid to crack something, thats why a pic of the back of the rear panel with an indication of where it popped off would be really appreciated, no hurry though.

Yeah that panel did seem kind of hard in the middle, just make sure you already got the seat belt out but unscrewing that one piece and then all should be good, but i will take a pic of that back of the panel

Sorry for the break in posts but I just got back to the garage and am gonna do a whole lot of stuff for the next week in a half I have off for the holidays/work on the car. Hopefully mostly everythign will be done by Jan 3rd I will have more pics tommorow.

Sorry for the late update guys but I have been busy with christmas new years and working on the car so here it is

Here is the dash torn apart:

More dash/interior:


Floorboards:


Rear Bumper area:


More Rear Bumper:


Trunk area:


More pics with sound dampener coming.

Here are some sound dampener pics:

Me installing dampener on headliner:


Floorboards with dampener:


Floorboards with damplifier and airbag sensor:


More headliner installation:


More pics of damplifier coming since trunk and rear seat are done with dampener just havent taken pictures.

By the way the easiest/ hardest part of applying dampener is the headliner. It is the easiest since you dont have to cut anything but it is the hardest to lay down and get out air bubbles. The hardest for cutting is the trunk since it is rounded.

ugh. not a job i would want to do...you are the man

Some more pics

Passenger door that is going to be put on soon:


Drivers side door was planning on putting on the car but i dont think I can pop out the dent out in the corner:

Since i cant pop the dent out I will be taking the door panels off

Carpet that will be going in soon:


Trunk lid needs to be dampened then will be put on:


This is what the sound dampener comes like from secondskinaudio.com

cool. have you had a chance to put the driver seat on a scale to weigh it?

Some pics of the dampener almost done. I am trying to get the part where the carpet is completely done that way it can at least go in.

Passenger floor board dampened:


Passenger floor board again:


Rear seat area:

Great pictures Ben and way to go on getting on with the job, you ain't foolin' adound. I am looking forward to the results. By the way, any chance you can snap some pics of the back of the side panel beneath the rear window?

Yah you guys prolly figured I was just talkin about it especially when I hadnt updated for awhile. But this car is going to get done. And yah I will take pictures of the back panel it is just kind of covered in stuff so I will get it done I havent forgot man just havent had time

Just to let everyone know what else the plans are for the car: A double-din 7inch touchscreen is going in with some kicker fronts and kicker rears hooked up with an amplifier. Along with a kicker l7 10 and a kicker amplifer. The trunk with be custom box with doors on each side of the inner trunk for storage/extra battery

BMD: I finally took some pictures of the backside of that panel you asked about



The seats weigh about 55 pounds. I couldnt get the whole seat on the scael but it weighs a bout a total of 55 pounds.
