Weekend plans anyone

Well I have no plans this weekend as far as I can remember
I was wondering if someone wanted to get together to do some hella custom work
I haven't had much time since I moved to do anything serious.. been mainly settling in and what not
now I want to start a project or two or three
I want to either do one of the following..
fabricate a completely custom...
spoiler
center console
dash surrounding radio (i've already started one of these)
or do a sub box

if anyone wants me to do one of these for you also it could possible be arranged if you want to hang out and work on yours with me or whatever
I'm not really good at this sort of stuff yet but I have done a few things here and there
I need to figure out where I can get all the products I will need first
I think a schuck's will have it or know where I can go to get it

also i'm willing to drive out of town to meet at someone's place.. I live in Seattle but I'm willing to drive like an hour or so to get out of town for the weekend

anyone interested?

RE:Weekend plans anyone

I have a stock guage that I'm de-greening. I'm about half done with the "prep", then need help replacing mine with this one and resetting the needles. I may come up... What part of SEA are you in?

RE:Weekend plans anyone

As I replied in the other post, I don't have $500 at this moment to make a custom sub box which we have been discussing for the past week or so. However Iam still interested in a mod meet. It doesn't matter what mods we do or whose car we work on. Even though I don't have much money which I can spend on new mods now, I already have tons of stuffs sitting around at home that I never got the time to install. Both things that Goldie have in mind is also on my list of things to do. For my gauge, I'll be installing a custom face gauge, replace stock bulbs and install intelliglow needles. As for my headlights, I want to remove the orange reflectors as well and install some clear reflectors. Don't know what materials I should use for making clear corners though. One option would be to buy a large piece of clear reflector made for other cars and cut it to fit our cars. If we can make these for 2,3 or more cars with a one time job, it might be a good idea. Maybe even make some demon eyes for the headlights?

Aside from the 2 things mentioned above, others things that I plan to do soon and already have parts for include speakers, head unit, amp, sound deadening(mat&paint), aluminum fuel door, vinyl graphics/wind shield sticker, racing harness belts and fog lights. The most important thing for me now is to figure a nice way to install my harness belts. Last weekend I removed my stock seat belts and I then found out that I couldn't install my harness belts. I know it sounds very stupid. I should have made sure that I could install my harness belts before removing my stock belts. Right now I got no seat belts what so ever on my car which is a very very bad thing. I know I can have my stock ones put back, but I went through the trouble and time to remove them so I don't feel like doing that. However if I can't figure something out before this weekend, I guess that's my only option. Iam half way through with sound deadening so that would probably be my second priority. As for the others, I haven't done anything yet.

Hope this can end up like some mini meet. It's always true, the more people, the more fun we get. I should be available both this weekend and the next one. After that Iam not sure. Let me know what you guys have in mind. Thanks.

RE:Weekend plans anyone

Iam still interested with the sub box, but I rather save up enough money and build a sub box I like instead of trying to spend less money/work and end up with something I don't really like. Well my current sub box ain't that bad and I can still stick around with it for a little while longer. You said you're also planning on doing a custom sub box for your car. We can probably do that instead which would also give me an idea of how it works.

I'll just bring my parts over and we can decide then what we'll do. Iam basically up for anything. Iam not good at it, but I love doing mods, any sort of mods.
