Well after a massive one last night i thought i would start my door pod build. Now i know people like audioscape make door pods for the mk2 but the look to curvy to suits the lines so i thought i would make my own.
step one is to remove the pockets, then from here i roughed up the plastic with 400 grit, this will premote adhesion of the fibreglass.

now this is the early stages im going for a stock look i dont like rice door pods so im going to keep the likes as clean as possible will some curve, anyway that will be apparent next time when i get further into the build.
So i got my dremel out and zig zaged the pocket and door pocket, im told this helps adhesion too, so why not!

after that the door pocket was glassed down to the actuall pocket ( pic explains)

after that a quick rough sand was needed now this doesn't need to be perfect cos my 5 1/4 spacer will be glassed on to the surface and then glass matt will be laid over but i havnt got that far yet...
