Partybish's 190k HDI Cleanup Thread

Thanks Matt, soldering is quite enjoyable I find if you do everything in stages, all the stripping, twisting, placement of heatshrink and then it's just a case of cracking on. I didn't realise how much of a sh*t job of my rear wiper wires I did last time with electrical tape and chocolate blocks everywhere until I took the panels off and looked again - it wouldn't have lasted much longer without breaking again. With a bit of confidence from doing the door loom I've re-done all of the wiper wiring by properly heatshrinking bare wires, soldering joins neatly and then covering it all in tesa tape so it all sits nice and doesn't rattle around.

With the audio setup I've got a really good improvement over standard and a decent base to start working/upgrading from now. I'm going to be making a further carpeted false floor and starting to learn how to fabricate parts using fiberglass resin and filler so I can get the door pods to sit flush to the door cards (which should look OEM) and build trim around the boot to help dampen the noise and make the whole car look a look better in terms of finish.

I ended up getting an DEH-80PRS headunit which gives me a lot more options in terms of tuning the sounds like timings from each output and frequencies to get it sounding really good.
