I chipped out all the stock sound dampening. It's about one 5 gallon bucketful, it's 25 lbs of completely not worth it.
Yeah it aint bad at all, but supporting folks who make things for us still aint a bad idea either. If you search the forums a bit you should be able to find someone who posted pics.Before I pull the trigger on some, what all work needs to be done to get the Focus AGX 741067 to work in the rear?
Seems like you have to replace the bottom metal sleeve with an appropriately sized one and locate some different sized washers. Is that it? $140 for the focus ones vs $230 from T3 ready to fit.
I've definitely bought my fair share of T3 stuff for this car so far - front suspension is almost entirely T3.Yeah it aint bad at all, but supporting folks who make things for us still aint a bad idea either. If you search the forums a bit you should be able to find someone who posted pics.
Only thing I'm not sure of is the bend at then fender ( I imagine I'm going to end up hammering it over something triangle shaped, but I want to tack the rest of it down) and the lip where it overlaps the wheel well at the bottom. Might just weld something on at an angle instead of bending that tab you can see I left over.that patch panel looks pretty good!
I should be back to this kind of work myself very soon
While you're here, how did you get into the section between the quarter panel skin and the rocker box? This seems like both the hardest part to get to and seal and the most likely to gather rust/trap moisture. I can figure out the other seams, through the interior but also I'll probably drill a small hole where the rocker overhangs the rest of the bottom of the car and go in through there. But I'm not sure about that extra layer.that patch panel looks pretty good!
