It will be nice to listen to the stock FM radio (tape deck is broke) with some speakers that aren't totally blown, and with proper polyfill in the doors instead of fiberglass insulation.

When that polyfill/fiberglass gets wet and sits for years...

Bag it up! smile

It doesn't matter how good your weatherstripping is. Condensation happens inside the doors and exposed polyfill will absorb and hold moisture like a sponge. Bag it and be sure not to block the drain holes in the bottom of the doors when you add insulation.

I put insulation in plastic bags in the doors. Doesn’t meant you can’t use what you want, just keeps it from getting wet and staying wet.

I just scooped out a junkyard with a ‘78 Dodge van. Whole thing was gnarly and full of pages from a Cuban tabloid. It was mostly pics of dead people and lots of porn. I picked up a 5 lug Keystone for $9!

Yeah, I have a ton of jute left over from when I did my rear carpet because the place I bought it from was going out of business and gave me double what I paid for (and nearly three times what I actually needed) so I'm going to cut it up and put that in bags to fill my doors.

This weekend I got the call that my upholstery was finished so I picked up my cushions and finished my rear bench/bed platform combo. I'm super happy with how everything turned out and can't wait to finish my walls and door panels!
