Purplehaze Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Haha, okay, got some pics and a video. I started with the airbag cover, b/c (a) it's small and it's important. For those that don't know, in stage 1, I installed a monitor in the airbag cover, but had to remove the airbag for safety. So now I'm gonna glass up the cover front and back, and put a hinge on the top, and put the airbag back in. In my opinion, it will be very safe. But just in case you still think it will hit the passenger in the face, watch this video: So here we go, getting all set-up, ready to work! Got it wrapped after about a half hour struggle - till I finally used the glue. Then it was easy. After the first coat of just resin, let it dry. First layer of FG Getting the back side ready for three layers. Here is a little video Then came the rain and washed me back inside!

Purplehaze Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 But a little rain aint gonna stop me! I just moved this operation inside! And after sanding the second coat on the front, time for some kitty-hair! (I see now why it's called that!) And that is when I called it a night! So today, I am kinda lazy, but not completely! So here is where I'm at rt now. Sanding. Next is regular body filler. But my sweetheart brought me this, so this is what I'm doing as I type! MORE TO COME!!!!

Purplehaze Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 And as promised, more pics! First thing I had to do was come up w/ something to sand those curves. Paint brush handle works! Getting ready to spread some filler! Still needs more sanding. Hopefully I'll get to pain it tomorrow.

S15_Silvia Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 You're going to put the airbag back in? Damn. I would ONLY do that if I did a test run, by installing everything and popping the bag to see where it all goes. No way would I put my front passenger at that risk. 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.

I would ONLY do that if I did a test run, by installing everything and popping the bag to see where it all goes. No way would I put my front passenger at that risk. Thanks for the advice, but check out this video. It's a crash test on a PT Cruiser. Notice (at about 27 seconds) how the airbag cover flips up and hits the dash, and the bag is fully deployed, before the passenger's head even starts to move forward. So my plan is to make sure the monitor will stay in the frame/ cover, and install a couple of hinges, to make SURE it flips up, and the passenger should be safe. I'm also installing a switch to turn it on and off, so the passenger should be good to go either way!

Purplehaze Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 What's up peeps! Well, I got this airbag cover done, here are some pics. Hope you like! I forgot to take a picture of the hinge, but I put a door hinge on the top of the cover so it has to fold up. Also installed an airbag switch. I'll get pics of both tomorrow. But here is the "Play Station deck" I also put in. Had the brand new PS2 layin around, so I figured I'd put it to use! So here it is installed. It's not 100% perfect, but I am not a natural at body work, and I tried hard. I'm happy with it. I still gotta get some carpet for the inside. So what do ya think?
