Update on my hi-miler Z project

Maybe you could use balck upholstery piping to fill that 1/8" gap. It would finish it off without a lot of work.. Hell, if I had your money, I'd burn mine.

Good idea!

If you had my (lack of) money, you'd think you already DID burn yours. How do you think I have all this time on my hands?

Be careful about heat build up with the your amp.

Yep, well aware of that issue in that location. I've drilled many holes in the storage area lid, and will use spacers to keep the carpet elevated a little off of that area, to allow for airflow. I think that should be adequate. Thanks for the heads up though.

Need to swap to the 94-96 metal inner door mounting panels, OR, you could probably drill out and re-rivet the L-bracket that holds the screws in the inner door pull area of the doorpanel. The 94-96 also uses a revised lock actuator and actuator mounting position. The lock rod or door open rod is also different, I can't recall which right now. Some hacking of passenger side fiberglass is needed behind window switch for proper fitment.

It's not a terribly tough swap.

Today's update:

Got the rear cargo area back together, with new(used) carpets and plastics, and re-covered speaker covers. I used a nylon 1/2" spacer under the rearmost screw holes to give some standoff from the subwoofer surrounds.

Removed the original lower front air dam, it was in really rough condition, installed new aftermarket unit. Fits well and looks good.

Did some major degreasing of the doorjambs. These things were filthy. Some rags and simple green, and they're presentable once again. I should have taken a "before" pic but I forgot - take my word for it, there was 20 years of grime and grunge built up there.
