What's that button, or whatever those wires are for that going to that panel on the bottom, for?

That button unlocked my doors. I put rear handles on the front to shave the key holes. I put that button back there incase my fob battery ever died

Gotcha, yeah I just noticed the front handles don't have a key hole. But wouldn't you be screwed if the battery died?

Whats the story with the messed up roof/broken windshield? Looks like something fell on it your it went underneath something.

Looks like the hood came unlatched at highway speeds? Im just taking a shot in the dark.

Long story short.......thought I had a race car so threw on some hood pins...but to make it official, I removed the stock latch. Forgot to put the pins back in one day & the rest is history....

Ouch. Hey question. Is there a stock part left on your car at all at this point?

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 1:32 pm

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 1:43 pm

I mean parts that were on YOUR car when you started this project and have not been modified at all yet.

Focal F5 if i recall correctly. I used to really dig that wheel a lot! Still do, but It's just kinda old now.

J-Villa · Post by **J-Villa** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 2:48 pm
