dan23 - mk2 GTI project

[dan23]

well im off for the next 4 days so i will be haveing a little play wit the golf seeing as its off the road so im home bound atm.

ok this is what iv done 2day, my speakers have been playing up a tad over the past few days, mainly down to me just getting them in quick and not doing it properly, so i thought id sort that out 2day

1st took the the door trimmings off


then the door pannel itself


i needed to put this in the door, any1 know what it is?


once it was all wired up, i put in in the corner off the door, so its out the way and wont move around


then it was a simple case of put the door back on and all the trimings, and now its sorted, the speakes are now connected to their own cross overs.

i also screwed the 6x9's in properly aswell so i dont get a distorted sound when its turned up, and i have to say it sounds alot better now

have also fixed my hand brake, it has since i got it been on the piss and has been leaning to one side meaning every time i pulled the hand break up i had to pull it at an angle or it wouldnt lock in

this is what it looked like with all the cover off


what i found was it has an L braket and this has been bent some how

and with 2 bangs of the hammer, it now looks like this
