Title: Number 1 thing you'd change on your car?
Post by: Jim Ratto on December 12, 2007, 17:46:47 pm
For me it would be adding tunes to the car. I miss having good music in my car. Regret taking out my 6 x 9's and door speakers years ago.

Next bit of extra cash = stereo, amp, speakers....

what about you guys?

the sample does look nice Frank. should work even with the trim on the car. maybe some trim on the lower quarter can work also. kinda like on a type3...not sure if they had it on type1's...

and for me it would be getting the engine done and test, test, test and test that thing.

First of all the tacho. Take the monster (instead of the speedo) apart, the speedo back in place and a smaller old autometer or Sun on or under the dash.
Someone has something for me?
