took off my door panels and look what i found

the previous owner was a real douche and apparently had a system installed by a real amateur. this stuff is a real pain to get off and if it gets on ur skin it will take forever to remove.

there are also some crossovers installed under the cheap sound deadening....

im going to buy some keyboard duster and see if i can chip it off.

bigger question is why are your door handle mounts rusting?

I meant overall ****ty work like the last picture. I could careless for dirt or things like the tar as they can be taken care of easier than losing trust of the car overall. You will never know what else ****ty things the previous owner has done.

the moisture barrier in a stock door is missing here, so the raw steel door mount is rusting because it was not protected from that barrier.

honestly that's not that bad-
the black tar lines are stock adhesive, and the other stuff is just stinger sound dampening. you can use dry ice if you want to remove, or keep it in there so the door has a more solid feeling to it when you close it.

That's painful to look at. I hate dealing with other people's mistakes/ coverups.

Oh crap!
So sorry for the sloppy mess.

Not on that level, but kind of reminds me of the huge birds nest of alarm wire mess and fully saturated rug coffee stains the previous owner left for me

Dude....
Im so sorry you have to go through that.
This is why I try to stay away from some vehicles that are modded.
Sure you get ome aftermarket parts, but you dont know if the work was quality or not.
