ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    If you remove the headliner

    How difficult would it be to run multiple small gauge wires to the trunk from above where the driver sits?
    MRT
    37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
    30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
    27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    Lots of DIY videos specifically for our car

    Get some awesome wipers! <-- It's a DIY

      It's not that hard but would be much easier if you would just run the wires on the side on the bottom. The headliner got some bolts and clips.. after you undo them you can easily slide the wire over.

        I think the headliner isnt a bad idea but it would appear more tedious and time consuming then just running them along and underneath the door kick plate things. what wires are you planning on running?

          It would be easy, Just the same way as the dome light wires, except continue all the way to the back.

          A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

          If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

              If you've got roof rust that requires you to remove the headliner in order to fix it, there's no need to worry about someone stealing your car. How many kill switches do you think you need out there in the burbs anyway? At most (if you're paranoid) two. One for the starter, one for the fuel pump.
              Or, quit being totally cheap, spend some money and buy a pager alarm with a fuel pump cutoff. The thing is, if they want it bad enough, you won't stop them, no matter what you do.

                Honestly, I have no idea how bad the rust it. I was just assuming that I'd have to remove it.

                  Unless it's staining the headliner or inside the car and you can see it running under the headliner, you shouldn't have to. If it's gone through the roof and you can see the headliner while standing outside the car, don't fix it, make it a convertible.

                    While all of that is true and I agree with you completely. 1. Kill switches are a cool diy. 2. Cup half empty, buddy? You're a bright ray of sunshine aren't you?

                      It's not. I just see a little bit of rust underneath the weather stripping piece on the roof. I have other plans as well like evaluating a sunroof or a map light/sunglasses holder.
