    Due to the temperature its taking the paint a little longer than it should to dry. :(

  4. Excellent ...:cool:
     
  5. On the road for another year:D
     
  6. Whats the white project box do?
     
  7. The silver one on the firewall to the left of the engine?
    I asked my dad to make me a split charge system and thats what he came up with. Total overkill, but it shows which batteries are connected, allows you to just charge the driving battery and shows the charge state of each battery.
    I would have been fine with a large ampage relay.:p

    The one on the fanhousing is the luminition ignition amplifier.

  14. Got the inside of the rear hatch painted white today while the weather was good.

    Took the rear glass out of the old hatch. No wonder it leaked like a sieve.:eek:

  15. My rear hatch was like that on the fish :eek: looked fine until I got the seal out, and there was no metal left on the outer part of the panel :eek:
     
  16. It made taking the window out easier though as a lot of the metal just stayed stuck to the rubber.

    All 3 blues are from the same can.
