Car Progress Thread v2.0, Replacing rusted out quarter panel... yay body work. Options

[jcbass7]

Well you've got to start somewhere and this is my second time starting. Nonetheless, the celica's from my past are all part of the story that has led me to this one and finally being able to complete the project I have been dreaming of. They are also contributing a lot of parts and lessons learned to get this car how I want it. I bought this car in September 2010 and will be marking my progress routinely with many pictures.

Here is the baseline. The starting point. The blank Canvas. I'm giving you a full snapshot into its original condition from when I bought it. Flaws and all. This way the you can see the progress it makes as I fix the little details and add the JDM/TRD goodies.

Yeah Bro - that's not your problem. The first sytem I converted waaaay back when had the same issue until I found out [thru this site - it's why I initially came here back in '03 LOL] that I had to remove the stock amplifiers. You say you already did that so I am at a loss here.
The only thing I can say is 8 stock speakers will not be too much for any decent H/U

Thanks man, at least that eliminates that concern. I'm at a loss as well since it was an entirely stock system I removed and replaced with wiring that was working in my other celi? I did run into one problem though, when I was installing it I wasn't getting any power to the radio and checked the fuse under the hood. Well there is a blank looking fuse in the middle of the box and they guy before me had put a 7.5 there. It must have fried during my install (shorted probably). I placed the blank looking fuse that is supposed to be there, back in its place and then the power was back on. Maybe I need to check some other fuses while I'm at it.

The only radio related fuses are the two in the engine bay and the one under the dash correct?
