Konrad Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 After countless taking on and off bloody dashboard, loosing feel in every single finger because of tight plugs, 2 days of smelling burned plastic and solder (i was learning ) aaand resoldering half of bloody resistors (those just kept packing and walking away without further notice) I managed to finish my first and stable CLIMATE CONTROL led conversion! Speedo conversion to go (this one will be easy ) Now I can take off climate control from fully fitted dashboard in 4 minutes! BIG THANKS to Heckler for his tips and patience, when I was getting grey hair Here's new interior look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do, but she's away at the mo and non contactable, but I'll email her and tell her she's famous You do realise that she may be asking for some commision for the use of those pics .. or just recognition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
