Thanks for following my post. I bet you were wondering if I'd ever start...or if I was just making this all up. Wonder if anyone ever does that...lol. Anyway...I believe I have everything. I will likely take this is two stages. One will be running all the wiring and hook up the HU to the speakers the previous owner installed. Then I will be pulling the doors off and doing some sound deadening and figure out if I need to do any tricky mods to get the MBQuarts in the doors. Ok back to it. My hope is to at least get the HU in tonight...! MR2

Thanks for checking it out and the encouragement..! It's been friggin' painfull staring at all these components and no car to be able to put it in. Spent the day running around picking up some last minute parts. I'll do my best to take shots along the way...so far the phone is the easiest way to do that since it's always on me. I'll take much better shots with a real camera once it's done. MR2

Ok Guys...build finally begins...just got car out of the shop after two months. Engine Swap complete..! Check it out here: My link

My MR2 Build Begins...Finally..!
Ok so finally the build is on! My car has been in the shop for two months getting an engine swap(95 2.2 n/a in a 91). So anyway this is my first time every logging a car stereo build. I'm not new to forums but I am new to this car audio forum. Here's a shot of the parts: I've already started removing the dash and old Eclipse HU that was in the car. Supposibly the kid I bought the car from bought the car from a car stereo installer. I can confirm that by the very nice previous install of the HU. All twisted wiring cut to length. Here's a shot: This is what it looks like under the hood: Ok back to it...more to follow...! MR2

Unfortunately build is delayed due to mechanical issues. The engine is in but needs more work. I don't think I'll get it back till early next week. =( Oh well I did get the rims put on, got a new 50 series Flowmaster muffler installed, Koni Yellows, and Eibach Sportline Springs...also replaced some support bars that were all rusty in the rear. Hopefully it will be mechanically sound soon so I can get my build started! I have to keep reminding myself this is a 20 year old car and it's going to take some tlc to get it back to where it use to be. Thanks for your input and interest guys..!

So I guess when you have a 20 year old car your going to find a number of things that need to be replaced! That is the case with mine. My mechanic almost daily finds something he needs a new part for. So again waiting for more parts from Cali. Still should have it done by weeks end he says. I can hardly wait...!!!

It has pretty limited space with the spare tire. Also that is where the amp board will go. So I decided to put it behind the passengers seat.

Hahaha...that would be good though...cause I had the suspension out of the car last night...so that would mean he's almost done...! I really can't wait...it's all that is on my mind...!
