This is what I've been doing

So yeah, as you may see I've been putting my time and energy lately on the car again. Almost through installing the alarm system. That'd be the 2-way LCD Falcon Alarm system, turbo timer and remote start featured. Still need to do some more wiring to get the remote start feature working, but slowly I'm getting there. It's taken quite a while since as you may remember my style is balancing between perfection and sanity..

So the first few days I just disassembled stuff and bundled the wires together to make everything nice and clean. Today I got most of the wires soldered and connected. Had some problems such as the siren which was broken to begin with.. Luckily I had another siren (wtf who has extra sirens but me) and I just changed the chip from the nonworking siren and I resulted with one working siren!

Here's the main unit, I grinded two grooves in the ECU bracket where the two "ears" the unit has for screwing it into place slide into, so it's a perfect fit and easy to remove. :)

So here's the only part where you can see the powerwire which is 10mm2 copper.. Wanted to make sure its enough juice for all the electronic gizmos I'll come up with :) It'll look better with the 35mm2 I'll put for the 2 amps. Just couldn't resist a perfect place for the fuses and ready made holes for those wire clips. :)) That should be the only part you can see the wire though. And yes, I do realize that makes it a easy target for the car thief but then again, doesn't an extra wire at the battery?

If I'd be concerned though I could wire the power from the existing wires inside the car.. But I'd rather not touch them.
So thats it again, maybe I'll post a vid or something if I get the remote start working, will be a while though since I need to change the fuel (the one in the tank is old already I figure) and all that before I dare to run the engine again. But we'll get there!

Dash is off

Nothing much, just wanted to show that the dash is off. :P As you can see it's a _lot_ easier to do all the wiring now. And also it will be easier to paint the dash. :)

Also I got some of the dough back I've been spending on the car, as I found two german marks from 1994 under the dash, lol. :P

Soo what it means is I'm not all too sure if Im able to ride the car next summer or not :D now that I've gone this far I am gonna do all the electronics I've thought of and there's some financial problems. We'll see. :P

Oh well then, keep you updated if something exciting happens.

If it's on mfooka then it's on :)

He someone told me he thought I quit this or somethin. Well yeah, I admit I've had a couple months of hell but its pretty much behind me. Amidst all this chaos I really haven't had the interest but..!

Now I've begun taking the interior apart. I plan to do there what I can afford, money will be an issue as well but we'll work with what we got. Also since am starting so late and I don't wanna destroy my social life like I did last year by living in the garage, I try to keep it small this year and make sure the cars ready in May. :)

So, Ill start with painting the dash and some interiors, changing some fabrics, install the alarm and more or less the hifi. I already have the alarm I previously introduced, I also got a 4 channel amp for speakers, still need a sub amp, the speakers and a player and a lot of small stuff. I'll keep updating as I go but chances are I'll be quite busy and the updates will be smaller than last year.

TBH, I couldn't afford to do this right now but I refuse to quit one of the only activity that's ever been dear to me due to life situations. I just need to adapt it a bit for the time being. :)

Be seeing ya !
