A bit bulky for my taste, but must sound proper. The seat design is fantastic.

Wow, you've achieved quite some work here.
I think its really interesting that your car runs on LPG! can you give more information about how you converted the car to LPG?

nice work on all you've done.

Thanks.
It's quite common here for cars to have LPG. Big % of gas stations provide it alongside with gas and diesel.
I'm not that informed on the topic ,but basically you have a tank for the LPG and an evaporator that makes it appropriate for combustion.
LPG is 2.34 times cheaper than A98, so that is the main reason for using it. I am paying $6-7 per 100km which is quite good for Europe.

Several weeks ago after a good wash the last thing I wanted was to hit a wall while backing up. Well it happen and things snowballed from there.

The damage was much worse, but this is after some hammering.


Before I start shaving


After a few days of welding, putty, sanding and paint this is what I ended up with.
Gas tank cover gone


Shaved the emblem and third brake light.


Damage and LPG cover are gone



Washer and wiper blade gone too.


If you see some color difference, well the paint is 16y old, and I am going from gloss to matte white.


Blacked out my tails


Nice and glossy






There used to be a gas tank cover and 3 damaged places, used to smile.gif


Thinking about painting the middle/license panel black too for a long line of darkness.


Photo was taken with no flash, stop light test for visibility.


Blinkers too. You can see it pretty good considering how black they are.




I also rolled my fenders while I was at it. smile.gif

Recently I decided to put blinkers in my side mirrors. I think it will look great and make the car appear a bit more up to date, so to speak.
Just a teaser with a random piece of plexi put in place.

I have actually thought about selling sets, if the turn out good. The only problem I see is supplying the mirror casing. I'll have to scour the junkyards.

Looking for some opinions, guys. I want one nice and long line of non disrupted light, but it seems impossible to achieve with LEDs, there are always spots. I might settle down to a bunch of LEDs pack tightly, like in this test piece bellow.



Edit : Would look something like this(the orange one), I think it will be nice.

That would look nice smile.gif

if you wanted a continuous light I would be looking into EL strip / wire smile.gif

I remember something that was done in the not so distant past for angel eyes. They used to put a led into an acrylic tube. The light would evenly distribute thoughout the tube and appear as if it was nowadays' CCFL halo eyes or whatever you call them.

I remember that the only issue is it working at daytime in a not-so-efficient manner because a single LED is just not bright enough, but that was the case with halos. Give that you're using a thicker strip, you could get it to work. Here's a description:

"[...]

Essentially, they take arcrylic rods that are used with window blinds, heat and bend them, notch them with a dremel, and put a LED in each side.

The biggest issue is the collimation of the beam, and trying to make the end of the rod fit the LED snugly and perfectly clearly. I think someone suggested clear nail polish between the two. You want all of the light from the LED to go into the rod in a roughly narrow pattern. Best to use relatively high-power LEDs (not 5mm 20mA crap, at least get a 4-chip or 5-chip Cree or Superflux)"

Prepped the roof as well. I'll post pictures of it later. It's mad!

I also converted the climate control unit to all white LED SMD.
