Here a couple of pics of the original doorpanel, to compare more easy.





And this is what it's going to be. The door, on the speaker, gained 2cm more to the inside of the car. This is what I had to do to get the speaker in there in a good way.








The seperate polyester cap, that goes over the speaker, will come in silver, like the trim.
This will contrast with the rest.





Picture with the grill.



If I look at this all, I think it doesn't contrast to much with the lines, shape of the original panel.

Has to be rubbed and finished some more.
On the backside of the panel, maybe there will come a little light, that shines when the door is opened. Partially to fill up the big piece.

In the meanwhile I made a whole into the doors platework, behind the speaker.
You can see the windowglider. Just nog touching the speaker.


Made some more parts, to fill up the other wholes.





On the background, there's a alu plate of 4mm thick. Very hard and strong.
In the middle you can see 2 Carbonkevlar parts. I made em as thin als possible .
On the foreground you see 4 little rings I made, to screw the doorpanel extra tight.

If you look to the second on the right, there's a little rubber he pasted on. On the place where he screwed it. This to prevent resonance.






On the picture you see a little pole picking out. That's MEGA IMPORTANT.
Behind the speaker, there'll be another screw, so we can attach it even more in the middle.



Everything mounted:







This won't be the end of the door. I has to make some tiny wholes airtight, but that won't go untill the has all the material to fill up the sound.
All I makes, will be filled up with this material. What exactly I going to use, he's not sure. we'ill keep u informed.

As you can see, I putting a lot of work into all this. And more work is coming up so the sound won't be lost...

I think this is a type of work, that is underestimated be many people. But the work will pay of in the end, that's what we are sure of...

As you can see, het got the disc in there again. Disced a ditch in there so I gots some place to get the overflowingin leather away.

The alu and the pole I got on there so it all stays equal when it gets overlayed.



you see, the plates can be rattled off.





as you guys can see, the bottom part is already painted black, you all know what happens then...

indeed, CARBON TIME

:drinks:The bottomsides of the doorpanels will have to be done in CARBON FIBRE.

So a dificcult object to get in the Carbon fibre. But we must admit, it's done nicely..
Many time was put into preparation the prevent the CF - overlay to got wrong at any place.






This annoying little side was one of the many things that could go wrong.



Also, I was satisfied to get the little lamp in there. makes the piece a bit more interesting then one big lumb piece.



This is the ditch I disced into the panel. For those who don't get the picture. When it's all done, the upperside of the panel will be overlayed in leather. Then I needs a little space the get rid of the too much leather.
To get a nicer finishing off

You see on this pic that everything at the bottom is in CF..



Now the big work is to get it all nice and flat. Put some more layers of epoxy on there till it's all nice and smooth.
so, lots of work and patience...

This is the 3th layer of epoxy.
Rubb it all down flat and equal everywhere, and then another 4th layer of epoxy.
Some pics




After firmly rubbin' the epoxy, I added another layer op expoxy.
Maybe it's not so visible on the pic, but it's quit flat already.
4th layer of epoxy.

Now it's important to rub the last layer good. Start with an 800 and end with a 2000.

I also found the same black leather to cover the panel like the original one.

A couple of years ago, my wife was making ( read: painting) christmasballes, to hang in the christmastree. She also hooked on making special things

When i looked at the plexy balls, i know, that sometime, i could use it for another project Well, ladies and gents, IT'S TIME
These are the plexy balls, you can buy 'm in every size. (according to his wife)..
:D:D
A old friend of my Earl Zausmer build 12 or 13 years ago something like this.







Then I made a hole in the bigget bal, so the little one stands a bit 'in' it


On this pic you can see the ball with the speaker, stands a bit further away. I did this on purpose.


pic with speakers in it.

wahnsinn! sehr feine Arbeit, sieht viel besser als jedes Showcar aus... die Arbeit und die Anlage die darin steckt, nähert sich mit Sicherheit schon fast den Wert des Wagens


LG

Best Regards
