Working on 6.5 door enclosures. This is my third time attempting this in the 5 years I've owned the car. Every time I tried it before I had fitament issues. This time I've decided I need to cut out some of the door pannel to make it worth it.
Here are some pics of the progress.

Test fitting, seems to fit okay. I might need to trim a bit on the top corner so the window switch sits flush but the door pannel goes on perfectly. Btw don't worry about water getting on the pannels, I put plastic back up.

Man I feel you on this one. How did you bolt those to your door panel the bolts appear completely hidden the photos?

Window doesn't hit it but its very close. Thats one of the things that sucks about these door pannels, you have like 5 inches to work with or you hit door pannel or window.

Well in that case it looks pretty successful. I'd port those enclosures so your not sufficating your midbass with the lack of airspace tho.

Well guys, i think this might be it for this car.

Got rod knock (didn't check the oil often enough) and to see if i wanted to rebuild i did a compression test and well, you can see. Trying to decide what to do from here, might start looking for an is300.

It really is a shame, especially because it was caused by blown turbo seals and my lack of attention. oh well though gotta move on. Planning on boosting my IS300 next. Even have the bad idea of throwing the 7m in there because of the cost.
