Ok, so I got some stuff done yesterday:
Diamond plate door panels and new regulators. The door panels are secured using #10-32 allen head screws instead of those plastic deals. Also if you're wondering, those are window cranks from a toyota tercel.





Foam stuff from Lowes:

I got tired of the stupid plastic crap that holds the radio (or doesn't) so I fabbed a new piece out of 1/4" MDF. It fits very snug and is secured with adhesive. I also sanded the hell out of it with a dremel to remove the knicks and scratches, then sanded it smooth. I'll be painting it or rhino-lining it. Haven't decided.

Finished up the alternator, finally:


New battery stuff:

Also put on the rear bumper end caps after some dremel action:
Before:

After:


Next I gotta fix this crap:

If anyone wants these, let me know:

I also replaced all the bulbs with LEDs. Once I decide what kind of headlights to get, that'll be next. I still have to put the CD player in and I'll be building a removable box with a quick release amp setup for my MB Quart Discus 10" sub. For now, no rear fill speakers are planned because the sammi is so small I don't think I'll need em.
Once I get all this crap done I'll be focusing on actually building the rig up with chromoly axles, possibly discs out back, some armor, and other stuff. Once I find 1.6 16 valve I'll attack that too.
