... well.... the LEDs are all either run from the interior lights or the running lights; the carPC is in work (has been for a loooong time), the sound deadening is real work in progress. I need to get some bits sorted next week - my wife and daughter will be away for a few days so I will have peace to do lots of stuff, but I need to have what I need here
my car, from the outside at least:
list of ongoing projects:
- carPC
- Audio System:
- Source: carPC
- amps DLS + Signat FTM
- Speakers: Seas. Self built pods. I'm in the process of glassing these properly on the inside, as I want 7l sealed for the Er18RNXs.
- Sub will be integrated into the area next to the battery shortly
- rebuild of the boot. Oiled Oak and Aluminum floor, sub integrated. Amps integrated + lit.
- A-Pillars, Headlining, Dash to be re-covered
- "grab handle" for the passenger to be replaced with something of real wood to match my gearknob, which is a 52mm dia chunk of birch (attached is a pic)
- new gaiter to match the new door leather
- re-do the rear part of the door pockets in Carbon, matt
- re-lacquer my Aluminium strips (the area below the topmost section of the door has aluminium in my car
- but the lacquer isn't too hard, and it's chipping. I need a better alternative.
- reading lights for the rear, properly done
- footwell lights need rewiring, the fuseboxes are here
- sound deaden the whole car. Outside EPDM behind the wheelarch liners, same inside. The doors already have Butyl, the door inner skins have noxudol and don't resonate, the front door cards are also pretty dead now. Needs also EPDM.
- the Audi rings lit - well, I have a template that's soldered but need a grill to play with
- Xenon is in work, but that's not important right now and won't be until october.
With a bit of luck and some more parts, I should have the audio system running properly in a couple of weeks. Then, when I get some time after my holiday, the leathering is set to start; I have leather for the door cards, the centre console and maybe a couple of other bits.
I have enough wood to do the grab handle, I will talk to a colleague and give him something to think about
questions? where possible, the LEDs are either 5mm 180deg or lumi star 1W with a 27ohm resistor.
