OK Gang. Another weekend spent mostly working on the project....:beer: I completed the soundproofingwith the butyl matting, and I took the Lexus rear soundproof mat, and added the neoprene matting to it to further dampen the potential hum I may get from the Walbros. I am glad I did this, but it is very tedious, as I said before, and virtually backbreaking work at times....I spent several hours on this over several weekends, but I believe it will be well worth the effort, I also only added approximately 30 lbs to the car by doing it.

I also worked on the installation of my two computers....I first connected them to the new wiring harness so I could look at the best layout. Fitment was perfect from Phoenix Tning. Both the Autronic SM4 and PCS will not fit in the stock floor position. I will have to mount the PCS nearby, probably on the front tranny tunnel., under the carpet.

I still have to install the rest of the push pins in the headliner. Battery goes in this week, and I plan to reinstall the speakers and disconnected stereo gear as well.

We kind of live out in the country, so I have not only posted pics of the progress of the car, but also of some deer that were no more than 10 feet from my back door. I have actually seen a 65 lb Florida Panther in my back yard once, as well as Eagles, hawks, and owls regularly. Pretty cool.

Soundproofing:

I know I posted up pics of the dash before, but it was just laying in the car at the incorrect angle. These pics show the dash actually installed properly and bolted down. I really like the angle of the gauges from the driver's position.

Dash Installed:

Ryoku's favorite past time:

Here is the headliner. I need to brush it, but I absolutely love the perf black suede!!

Here is a pic of the Lexus rear sound proofing mat with the added eDead Neoprene matting added to it:

Pioneer AVIC Z2 installed in the custom plate made from the original Lexus stock radio face plate. This is installed in the tan center console, but will be permanently installed in the black interior when I place it in my car:

Here is a pic of the deer:

Another of Ryoku, he can really jump high....
