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 :D

Until then... BYE!

Great work!!!

I enjoyed your work and I am pretty anxious for seeing this work finished!!

I enjoyed your ipod schema inside the ashtray.

Would you please take other photos from you System?

I would like following your Great Idea!!

Just read the entire thread... man dude, you're doing some awesome work. This car looks like it came straight out of a Roger Rabbit movie!

DrLaban 21-06-2009 17:46

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.


Tjaap 21-06-2009 17:57

your garagefloor is as clean as the car... damn.

and the bronze tint is a really good choice

Tjaap 21-06-2009 17:58

i'm in adoubt about the redlines though.. especially with the darkred interior.

DrLaban 23-06-2009 00:02

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.






Typ 81 23-06-2009 00:14

Awsome ride, dude :thumbup: Keep it up!

DrLaban 22-07-2009 16:33

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.















DrLaban 22-07-2009 16:33

Ohh yes! ;) (the bumper is not bolted on the picture, just had to try it on very quick ;) )









Marcski 22-07-2009 16:38

keep it up, you're almost there!
still lovin' it..

hyjinx 20-08-2009 11:22

klenne 20-08-2009 20:46
