I was supposed to show the car at a show this weekend, but the time ran away from me last week because I had to take some steps back. I got a major oil leak behind the flywheel so I had to take the engine out again.

But I'm gettin there. This weekend I stayed at home instead of going to Sweden and party at the "Bug Run" show.

More work on the rear bumper. Damn I got some hours on the bumpers now!



Fixing the leak..



Then I was back where I left..



The snowflakes connected and working. Had to do some relay mods to make them work as rear lights, brake lights and turn signal. All using ONE bulb.



Finished up the audio system. Forgot to take pictures of the subs..

I'm going all hidden for the audio so I made a custom wall under the dash.






Crappy iPhone pics, but here's everything hooked up.



Almost finished inside the car



As for the sound it turned out really well. The AshPod is working like a charm. And the fat mat is doing a helluva job

Until then... BYE!

More done

I dropped the peep and went for a couple of Alberts instead









I am going to go for the wide trim on the sides, and that will arrive tomorrow.

Bronze tint on ALL windows. The guy who did it, did an AWSOME job with it!!






Almost there... damn I'm fed up sanding these bumpers!



And the windows (except the ones in the doors) installed.

Tonight I "upgraded" the car with the (old style) wide trim on the sides. That did it all. MUCH better.
I also installed the windows in the passanger door.

Howdy folks,

I´ve had summer vacation and I´m struggelig a bit to get the motivation back.
But I have worked with the bumpers and things are starting to look good.

Yesterday I layed some more füller on both bumpers. Here´s two good and "thick" layers on the rear bumper. This is done to make the profiles around the tubes etc perfect. The same "trick" is done on the front bumper.




And today the front bumper got it´s first layer of flatt matt. The paint is not dry on the pics so it is not completly flatt.
