Ouch. As a side note, my wife knows how much I've spent also. It's painful.

noting major to mention... but lots of little things.
I'm trying to finish up the interior. I got the rear seats back from the interior shop FIIIIINALLY so I'm trying to put the rear half of the car back together now. I've Wired up 0ga wire from the engine compartment to the back, run the fuel pump signal wires, all the audio wires, installed a 150A breaker and fuse/distribution block for the fuel pumps/amp. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0520.jpg Since the battery is going in the trunk I've run into the issues associated with safely mounting it. Hopefully my homemade mounting which bolts to the existing holes in the back will be strong enough :( thats the one part that scares me with having the battery in the back. I'll snap some pics of the trunk as I put everything back together... I still have to make some brackets to accept the rear seat latches and a few other things. Also I was rummaging through boxes in the garage and finally found my dome light :D . Remembering how disgustingly dim the stock one was, I decided to add some "chrome" spray to the inside to reflect the light back down (stock is BLACK LOL! ). The difference is night and day... i say that figuratively, but it's so much brighter than before I think its going to look like daytime once its in the car :) im really happy with how it came out http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0527.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0529.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0541.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0546.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0547.jpg My new red carpet doesnt have a "scuff plate" next to the drivers foot rest. I decided to make a simple one, which took a turn for the worse and a couple days later ended up with the most unreasonably complex carpet protector the world has ever seen. On the bright side, it should match my gas pedal :P http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/IMG_0335.jpg Lastly, I finally got around to installing the carbonetics twin plate on the motor, (I did the tranny conversion form pull to push awhile back) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/DSC03340.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...s/DSC03347.jpg Happy building, Heath |
looking good, can't wait to see this done

So much win!, thanks for the idea on the dome light :)
|
Love the dome light idea. Now pop some LEDS in it and it will be plenty bright! Are you coming to DGRR?

for the LED's... im going to get a nice set (got any recommendations?) but im not sure making it brighter will be a good thing. Its damn bright now. I do want to do LED;s in many of the exterior bulbs though |
Here are the LEDs recommended by superbrightleds.com, where I get my bulbs:
For all of the 168/194 bulbs on that list I recommend the WLED-WHP For the 1156 bulbs I recommend the 1156-xLX3 1157 go with the 1157-xLX3 Choose the color of your LED to match the lens for the best color saturation and brightness. For the 921 I would recommend the 921-x12. Again match your colors up. For the 3157, the trunk light I would say it depends on how bright you want it. I recommend the 3157-WLX3 for the brightest. |
This thread hasn't been updated in a while! ;)
