    I've heard that problem has happened to quite a few people with e-level. Glad you got it sorted.

        Glad to see the rebuild (clean up) underway. At least you have some good base components to work with.
        In for more update of the cleanup.

        Ps you should do a tinted hardwood floor in the back, like a dark red

          I had a darker wood as well, but with the trunk open and the white exterior, it really wasn't flowing as much as i liked so I went with the lighter wood.

            Look forward to seeing this. I feel your pain on wiring. **** trying to go over someone else's work. So much easier just to pull it out and sort it out properly. Pain in the ass but so well worth it in the long run.

                should be a 1000x better after clean up. I was getting worried from all those pics. And that cut thru in the rear deck. WTF ? guess the guy had never heard of a cutting wheel on a grinder before.

                          Sorry for the total lack of updates. I really don't enjoy working on my car in the cold. Once it warms up a little more I am going to finish the trunk and sort out what wheels I am going to run.

                            Finally finished my trunk (for the most part). Loomed all the wires going to my amp but for some reason my head unit doesn't want to turn on anymore. Also hinged the floor so I can access the spare.

                              Looking loads better already! I like the hinge idea to keep the trunk functional.

                                omg, your trunk looks amazing man! i had the idea of doing hinges as well.

                                i used a different wood flooring so mine was a pain in the ass, did you buy the wood? and i had problems with the leveling of the trunk
