The rubber trims on the bottom of the B pillar cover are definitely there. I wasn’t able to remove them, along with the side rubber trims before the respray. The little top rubber trims were the only pieces I was able to carefully remove, which were glued back on afterwards.

Next up on the agenda was to address the dull, heavily-scratched, and faded black B Pillar covers. For anyone interested in removing these, there 6 screws holding each cover, and these are the real deal cast aluminium parts, not the cheap black plastic covers you’ll find on pretty much every new car...

Continuing... Also installed a Pioneer IB flat 12” sealed shallow-mount enclosure single voice coil sub woofer. Tucks in nicely behind the rear seats, and still plenty of room in the boot. Speaking of which, the amp in the boot is an old school Boss Audio 1000w unit that came with the car when I bou...

Continuing... The rears are 4” Focal K2 ES100K 2-way component speakers running at 60W RMS. Very sexy looking, and almost a shame I cover it with speaker covers.

Next up, a ground-up wholistic speaker upgrade. First step involved sourcing front and rear factory ported HBL speaker enclosures. The rears were purchased from a Japan Yahoo site. The fronts were later sourced from IPTOC, thank you Clive :) The standard speaker grill fabric were either worn, faded ...

Checking in with another update on my Piazza. Some time ago I replaced the old and worn gear selector boot with a custom leather boot for a much shorter gear selector.

Glad to see these kind of posts are of use to others. My next post will be about upgrading the standard front door speaker setup to the HBL ported versions, with some additional tweaks.

Had a chance to deal with the rear parcel shelf the other day. The original elastic cords located inside the parcel shelf have perished and are no longer pulling the cords. So for those who are contemplating the same thing here’s a guide how to replace the worn out elastic cords. To fix this I bough...

This COVID-19 is really slowing freight down. I paid good money and for what. Anyway I hope it arrives soon.

Today was rear springs day. I regret selling the previous set to Eli, and these other chopped springs were still sitting too high. 16161276-6C84-44FF-BA4A-186629479445.jpeg E21268E7-7612-4F37-87D0-2E013FC26E1F.jpeg My mechanic got a set of Ford Cortina springs (#2114) from Pedders to tie me over unt...

Welcome Tomas, nice ride too. What are doing to stop the salt rusting out this car too?
