Always makes me speechless lol

Stunning work Stu :shades:

Will it be ready for UD 2013?

Ryan

Hey Ryan! Thanks!

I think finally the car will be ready to do a few shows next year.

I don't think my car is a show car in the traditional sense but I think it's different enough to create some interest. Still need to do some engine work & having paint tidied up over next few weeks but lets see how it then survives the winter drives!

I'd love to do UD if if they let me- I will try & apply and see what happens! :-)

:wub: wow!!

Thanks Lupopo! :-)

The sunroof aperture has been built with a birch ply surround to fix the Perspex to.

The roof panel has had added fibreglass & steel plate to minimise resonance & then the cavity will be filled with expanding foam.

The sounds have improved already with roof panel in situ! :-)

Thanks Em! Hope alls good with you? Yes havn't caught up in a while! :-)

The new build has been totally set up for the EMMA soundoffs but I think it's sufficiently different to create some interest.

Got to try to get into UD at least! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

He who dares rodders!! ;-)

Roof panel in & filled with expanding foam for rigidity. Perspex led lit reflection panel sanded for diffused light.

Cheers Carl. The main point of the Perspex section was to get some sound reflection- the lighting is another bonus! :-)

Hope alls good you? No doubt mega busy?!

Utilising the redundant centre rear seat section for Iphone connection. This is linked to a parrot phone kit & answered by a button on the dash.

Does anyone know what happened to this?...best sound system I have ever seen and the attention to detail is unreal ?

Yes 

 

He is very much still around 

Pretty much still an audio car .. 

Changed lots since even donning a new colour if you check the v5c

Looking brand new again! 

It's been great seeing these posts 

And how the car has grown 

Never once have I ever taken credit for the build 

I knew of the history just never saw it and it's great to see. 

In June the car will be 18 years old
