still gotta find a place to put the wires but for now they are duct taped to the center console and split to each side where the rear bed raises(if that makes any sense

Its model #7100.  It was a pain for me to line up because I have diff caps that got in the way.  I haven't driven it anywhere since but I plan to this weekend.  I'll update when I do.

Yes that makes sense and does not look to bad either. I think I would run the speaker wires into the "Targa bar" that is in front of the roll bar and then down through the door jam and up past the stock location for the front speakers that is how I ran wires for my dome light, and tweeters

Alright so due to the exercise we had this week I didn't get any work done the to zuk.  Tomorrow I will be finishing up the alternator, stereo, diamond plate door panels, distributor o-ring, both window regulators, and anything else I can think of.

Pics to come.

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.

my dash looks like yours underneath too I just need to find the time to figure out what all the wires go to since the last owner hacked them all up. what kind of door panels are those ones you are getting rif of they look wild? how much are you asking for them? My door panels are all broken up right now.

They're stock panels re-covered in some velvety stuff with padding.  They aren't bad, just not my thing.  The wiring hanging down is my doing prepping for the stereo.  The splices and wire nuts are for the ignition.  I'm guessing the ignition lock cylinder was replaced with one that had no plugs so they just spliced in.  I am looking at getting all new door locks and keys so it may solve that problem.

gotcha hmm i'll pass on them then that stock board is so flimsy, I would like the diamond plate but would like something really that my wife can reupholster green to match the seats. were there any panel covers that were supposed to go under these to hide the wiring and all? It may be nice if someone can fab something up to go underthere and cover everything.

I've got a wire cover for under the steering column, I just took it off to have better access for when I wire stuff up.

They're real hard to find though.

Those panels are sweet lookin, i had the same prob with wires, one turned out to be a ground, one was power wire to old radio (havent had a radio in 7 years... guess it was stuck up in there and finally fell), one went into the fuse box but wasn't connected to anything bc of a short that occured way back in the day.
