Thanks, but after going to the show we got so many comments from people who loved the color, we decided to have it media blasted and then repaint the same color. (By the way, I have the original paint receipt from the original owner, he paid almost $2k for the paint job at Maaco, I don't recomend using them)

Which car was yours? Did we talk?

Yesterday I took off the door panels to determine if the mirrors don't work because the switch is bad, or are the mirrors broke. I would have taken pictures, but I was so amazed at the madness inside these doors, I was in shock.

I started by taking off the tweeter cover, but there was no tweeter there, just two cut 18awg blue wires with crimp connectors. The door mirror wires were also cut, with only 4 inches of wire exposed from the mirror. I found the tweeter inside the door cavity just hanging by one wire. The mid range speaker was held in with drywall screws and had three changes of wire color before getting back to the wiring harness. The mirror was the same way. The wire changed colors three times before making it back to the original wiring harness and then that was cut off too.

All the original plug connectors for the components were still there connected to the door with just enough wire sticking out of them to see what color the cables were.

I cut out all the junk, soldered in new cable and shrink wrapped all the connections. I am happy to say all the door controls and speakers work perfectly now. What a freakin mess. If you don't know what your doing ask.....

Sorry, I had to vent.
