How much is that going to rape my wage packets? Roughly? LOL
M3, Cup racer'd 182
To dip a car will cost you around 2.5k that will also inc the primmer dipping (final stage).
However there is a few process 1st dip and you have the car back for body work repair.
2nd dip to remove excess weld spots and rust and then 3rd dip into primmer. Iirc
Good luck with the build can't wait to see the end result.
Clio 200 Cup

Astra GSI, 172, Golf

Just waiting on bodyshop quotes 
Clio 172 cup
Pretty surely its illegal to drive round with a red flashing scanner at the front of the car, im sure some police men will turn a blind eye cos its KITT. But most police are arseholes
Ive rung British gas three times for them to let me off my gas bill. They said no each time. At first I thought they were arse holes but then I realised they were just doing their job.....
Mazda Mx5 + Clio 172
It is yes, but it's only on when I tell it to be so shouldn't be a problem
and yeah I can't say I've met one that isn't an arsehole tbh!
Clio 172 cup
99% sure if you change it from red to white/clear light it will be then legal
Mazda Mx5 + Clio 172
True but just wouldn't be kitt without his red scanner lol

No major updates to report tbh as my welder doesn't start work till end of next week some bits have arrived though! Haynes manual, KNIGHT keyring (sad but cool too) his replacement cream carpet and most importantly his gullwing steering wheel and switch pods! Still need to buy an adaptor plate and quick release hub but it's somehow feeling much more real now the wheel is here! Very rough as was OOM but once it's sanded and painted will look amazing. Here's a slightly blurry pic lol! Like i say next thing is to get the interior welding done. He's provisionally booked in for bodywork and full respray for end of march so just over a month to get the welds done! Then he just needs the interior putting back in to be roadworthy. He is already mot'd till July so since I've not used him he should pass only thing that's a bit dicky is the handbrake and the exhaust mounts! Anyway here's the pic. More updates soon!

How much was your quote for the bodywork and respray if you don't mind me asking?
That Steering wheel's cool.
What I want to know is as far the the K.I.T.T. voice display goes, are you going with the soild block,
or the 3 blocks/stripes he had after the Goliath battle rebuild?

Not sure if its been mentioned but...
theres a KITT app on the appstore. you should make an ipad dock in the centre console so you can have an interactive KITT!
it should be a fully functioning dock thats hooked up to the speakers though :approve:

Taken the t top centre panel off today all the seals have rotten ($500) and the centre piece is rotten through (£90). Looks like a pillars are fucked too. Good job my welder is on hand to get cracking as it is booked in for respray in march!
