bcbrassard Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Personal Note: 2021 has started the way 2020 ended. The wife and step kids move out Saturday, And my lancer died last Thursday. Packing up there belongings for movers. This was the wife's decision, she wants time and space according to her to figure out what she wants. at this point whatever, i have spent 10 months working on myself, doing for the family, letting her bum of a 26 yrs addict-alcoholic live with us. All to help but in the end shes gone and time for me to move on. Build progress: With the lancer down i am working on getting interior back in, harnesses plugged in to fire up the Malibu. Its time for a change for me too and i would like to drive a nicer car. I can always work on it in the garage and drive it without a system and look at the Lancer Later. Progress pics: Interior Parts sound deadening. Working on center console to minimize rattles. I had to take it apart as much as possible to add mass and stuff CCF in as many places i thought would help. Like here between the compartment boxes and otter skin. The fuse box panel cover on the right i cut a piece of ccf to cover fuse labeling. i used Velcro to attach the ccf to the panel so it is removable to see the chart. Back of center console. There was a hole here for a rubber stopper for cup holder tray. Now its a LED light for back passanger to see there drink in the rear cup holders. I can put the rubber stopper on on the tray and should work perfectly the same. Hush Panel for driver side under dash. I am putting a couple layers on because i can. So i did. Finished product on hush panel, turned out pretty good. On the bottom is dash board end caps with treatment. Closer look at them. I am putting Tesa tape on all metal clips to reduce rattling. I don't know how long it will take to finish but i promise i am in no rush. I have come to far to cut corners now. Plus with the house to myself besides Kona i should be able to make more progress than with little distractions. Daily updates now. And as always thank you SMD community for your support on both audio & personal events. It helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 2k 4.9k 44

bcbrassard Posted January 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Update: Interior panel sound treatment. All the materials necessary for treating the panels for a quiet ride is the goal. Sound skins, second skins, foam gasket material, Tesa tape, Velcro, Gorilla Tape. 1st panel done. I covered all the panels, of course i will add more of what ever it takes during installation to make it the best i can. I am going to miss the shit out of this yapper. Our first dog and she has a personality you wouldn't believe. Progress is slow with a heavy heart, packing up there stuff in the evenings is hard but only a couple days left until they leave. Then there will be no distractions here to slow me down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 2k 4.9k 44
bcbrassard Posted January 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yesturday & Todays upgrades: Finally got the new seat belt system in after 1 1/2 yrs. Funny this was it retracted all the way putting the new one in lock out. Figured out to to unlock it used the original mechanisms. Zipped tied it so it wouldn't happen again. original in lock out mode Yellow piece with ball bearing come off. Out all the way. Testing the LEDs. Driver side panel mounted. I will just tackle one thing at a time until i can drive it and the same when i finish the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 2k 4.9k 44
bcbrassard Posted January 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Swapped out the SHCA for a SMD fuse holder. My OCD is worth $20. Much better look imo. The wife moved out so plenty of storage for car parts. Now i can clean them up for install soon. Maybe, Who the fuck knows! I cleaned up the garage to move the Malibu over for the Lancer. See if i can find the issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... 2k 4.9k 44
