And some pics of the car as it is now
Unfortunately i havent got as much time as i used to have, so we'll see what i can get done in 2010... Currently playing around with the speedo (see here http://www.project-l.com/images/bast...cho/thumb.html). Cheers, Chris PS: Still a lot missing in the story - should be enough for now though!

Well, i didnt test it, if that's what you mean...however it's wired to the airbag ECU and there's no error code.

I agree.....its one of the most beautiful places I've been to and the best scenic drive I've ever done. Thoroughly enjoyed the drive.....nice windy road with pictures scenery (all roads I driven in Europe are far ...far ...better than Australian roads!!!) . I was there last summer in the black forest region when I went from France to Switzerland crossing borders during my annual European tour. Those pine trees are very unique for that region....I even visited the cuckoo clock factory and bought one! remember those cows with big bells!!
