[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8663139, member: 675210"] Took out the lower back seat and rear deck cover. What a pain in the Ass!!! I replaced the Monsoon 6x9's with some cheap speakers. I was able to reuse the factory connector and spliced it to the new speakers. Luckily the new "throw away" speakers had the wires for the tweeter running externally so I was able to clip them and splice into them. Basically they are wired just like the Monsoon 6x9's were. I think I will make my own rear deck cover. Something able to be folded so I can install and remove it easier. I used some of my credit at the stereo shop to buy some used Sony 6x9's just for now so I don't hear all the crackling from the factory speakers. They are working well. I am going to make a removable third brake light as well... maybe Velcro to hold the factory housing. I found out the right rear quarter glass had been busted out. I found the glass pieces under the lower seats... along with the source of the moisture (the under carpet padding). Obviously he drove the car for a while with the window busted out... including in the rain. Other than surface rust on non important parts, there is no structural rust. Since the seat bottoms are out I decided to use my Lexol leather conditioner after I cleaned the leather with leather cleaner. It smells MUCH nicer. That Lexol smells so good and as a bonus, the seats aren't slippery now. Once ALL the moisture has evaporated I will put the seats back in. [ATTACH]2931._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
