Thanks for the tips. I ended up shifting the spacer further down on the door. A pain when you have to drill new holes in the spacer. Spent many hours trying to match the holes. Must be an easier way?
Anyways, an update;
The japanese owner made some nice spacers for the existing speakers. Even took the effort to make the blank plate for the door pockets (with foam too)
So ripped off the blank plate to stick to my door skin
New MDF spacer painted and fitted with speaker. Cross over located inside the door.
Also took the time to repair the auto window winder and recondition the power window switches including replacing the burnt out globe! Majority of the bulbs in the r32 have all burnt out so its neat to see them working at night when replaced.
Not much to see here, but just to show that the drivers window up/down switch has a light. Majority, if not all, r32's have this bulb burnt out, so though i would share.
Also replaced the globes in the r32 auto spoiler buttons. Opened up the switch and ball bearings and springs flew out. Was fiddly to put back together and was surprised that i managed haha.
Next step:
Trying to replace the battery negative -> block wire but cant undo the bolt holding it on the block. Tucked right at the bottom of the block, too hard to get any decent leverage to crack the bolt...might have to try going underneath the car or getting mechanic to do his magic.
Thats it for now
