RED '**---->my 02 build thread

[bansil]

need a small inverter to power my car-puter I am going to install, so I found time to turn this 15 yr old one into a "new" one


take apart and clean, sandblast outside



paint and bake



then I made new stickers for it




also started on my next project, I modified cup holder with some led's so I can see to put drink in

drilled 2 holes


inserted led's with resisters and leads



drop of super glue



and here we go



still need to hook up

Neat!

A carputer plus something like Arduino controlling relays and whatnot could be a ton of fun.

been busy with so many other things, did get to color match a small amp for subs


got drvside led swap done, I alos added an "aux power out" for future lighting






and some ambiance


not too bright, just nice glow (will see in the morning drive to work

next to finish up other doors and add "puddle leds " into bottoms of door panels

 

[tgui]

Good stuff!

I go through alot, since I'm on blood thinners

the dash drew first blood

pulled out an old skool band pass box I had circa 1989

and cleaned it up, added led's and new subs and just had fun with it,

it may be too loud for my old ears now



I had some copper tubing laying around and used it as wire chases


and finally some sandblasting, black paint and some time with plotter a "brick wall with graffiti" (plastic was scratched up, so easy mod to hide finish, still glossy and clean on bottom side) I added red leds under the glass edges



once again wife asked how old I was

 

[bansil]

so this morning's job was to get rid of using the tape deck adapter and the static and noise from that



tin foil to protect board from oopsseess
