RE: So here it is...13 months later....
LOL! Funny you should say that Kenny... It truly didn't seem that bad when I bought it! I figure my labor is free, and it's good therapy... I replaced alot of what I could have patched, mainly the cowl, firewall, cowl side panels. But, in the end, it was all worth it. I didn't pay a whole lot for the "roof and VIN" anyway! I've got everything but tires to put it back together, and I'm "only" 17k into it...

I ordered off they're site http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...products_id=52
I believe JamesW used it along with a few others. It is $1.60 a square foot, and I got 140 square feet because shipping was cheaper compared to 150. In a thread I posted a few months everyone said 150 would be perfect, but I think 140 was too much, I have 1 roll left (about 25 square feet i think) and i'm pretty much done. I did everything, firewall, floors, trunk, roof, and need to finished up the wheel wells and quarter panels. I'll probably end up double layering the firewall and roof with my extras.
So yeah I just ordered it from there, got it at my door step the next week, they were very quick at shipping it out. So far I'm satisfied, but I can't attest to how well it works or not yet, being that its not on the road. But when I bang on the metal it is pretty clear it is muffled [8D]

You are doing a phenomenal job on this car and you are making me envious! Keep us updated.
Oh, and post some pics of the wiring inside the car. I'd like to rewire my car as well, but as you were, am nervous to doing it.
