Control rods from vertical blinds heated in the oven, curled around a tin and then slits cut into them with a Dremmel and an LED at each end. Maybe. :lol:

Also, that ELB digital speedo is awesome! I love anything BTTF (a little too much maybe!) I wonder if it comes with enough wiring loom to enable one to sit on the front boot lid of a DMC 12 and still be able to hold it in ones hand, should one have the need to do that of course. If the Doc's was GPS based then he may have ran into a few issues in 1955...

Ben you seen http://www.bttfparts.com before? That guy is immense!

no control whatever rods from blinds, proper angel eyes in the headlamps mate, and the nitrous would make your car look sorry if i raced you, upset alot of ppl, at least the effort and money has gone into the car opposed to the many 340 F7P's ive seen which have been half arsed with their cut springs and landrover dampers :roll:

cheers

Clearly I've upset you. I apologise. No offence meant! I even said it looked cool. In my defence, mines still a 1.4, so either way, yes, its ass would be kicked. However, I've just never been a fan of nitrous. And if your reference of "chopped springs and landy dampers and half arsed" is aimed at my car, I can assure you, my car never has, and never will be "half arsed". Everything has and will be done properly.

I'm sorry, I just don't like people comparing faster cars to lesser cars, as there will be no competition, I know that. I also don't like people knocking my car, as it is my pride and joy, and I'm very protective as are you.

I apologise for the little rant. Its been a long day, and I feel it needs to be said.

Having an unflipped inlet, no heater box and being forced to breathe skanky engine bay air is definitely on my list of things which qualify as half-arsed. So is matt black, it's like admitting you CBA to pay attention to the basic principles of paint application. Even satin is respectable (satin is the plan for my opel manta A which will rip your 340 in half any day of the week BTW).
