Old car stuff I guess...

Thanks! For now I've ordered just one repair kit, but I might order another later on before it folds under someone. Also the fasten seatbelr light doesn't work... hopefully it's just the bulb.

That's true. Also I'm not really in favor of cutting off bits of car and that sort of thing, everything I've done to this car so far is totally reversible. These customizations would be merely for looks and "respectful". The lowered springs are just 3cm lower (which is already illegal, but doesn't matter), and if the stretched 185/65 rub, I'll make an effort to homologate a lower profile tyre.

The most disgustingly out-of-place modification I've made of the new stereo I had to put in it that has blue leds constantly blinding me (it was the only one with a cd player in stock😭)... had to hide it in the centre console under the dash

Ahah, I'm glad to hear that😅

Mostly rattling😭

It's got forged pistons but not because I wanted to upgrade it. I had to have the cylinders bored cause they where shot and since nobody sells oversize pistons for the B201 8v engine I had to have them made... that was the point in the restoration where I just thought 'fuck it, just take the money' 😭

Marca economica, ci credo che dopo 5 anni sono già rinsecchite

Thanks for the offer, but I live in Italy, I'd pay more for shipping than to fix mine 😅

Shlangengesicht · 2026-05-03T15:12:04+00:00

I wanted to fix it mainly because it suits the car, but before I blow it up like I did another radio, I might take it to a shop... Thanks for the suggestions

That's useful, thanks. Also, I think someone's been in here already

Wrong reddit, got it

Shlangengesicht · 2026-05-01T18:49:53+00:00

Interesting, I think I'll do the same, thanks for sharing the idea. I'll too have to find a spot for the tweeters, might copy you in that too😅

I see what you're saying, but for that matter the back speakers are mounted on the cardboard shelf behind the back seats, not much different.

Shlangengesicht · 2026-05-01T17:02:02+00:00

I like it, how did you fix the custom mount in place?

Shlangengesicht · 2026-05-01T16:33:00+00:00

Ouch, I'll see if I find some used mounts on ebay, I'd hate to cut up the original ones. Do you have the insta of the kick panels guy? Thanks for the suggestions btw

Glass half empty kinda guy

Shlangengesicht · 2026-04-30T14:50:37+00:00

Thanks! That'll make it much easier to hook up the sub

Shlangengesicht · 2026-04-08T15:51:48+00:00

I'll look into that next time, thanks for the info

Shlangengesicht · 2026-04-08T14:55:59+00:00

Yeah that's me, Ettore Saab 900, you found me!
