Ian - Car looks great! Congrats on your accomplishment and for answering some of my M20 questions along the way.

I hope to get mine off the stands and on the ground maybe this weekend, but more likely next. Getting excited...

Nice work!

What did you put in for your sound system? I noticed the custom kickpanels - got any pics of that installed?

[powelli]

Thanks.

No current pics of the kick panels as they are one of the last things on the list to get finished. However, I can tell you that I got them from Bill Williams back when he had them.

I saw that others are looking to get another run of them made.

The sound system consists of the following:

Nakamichi CD400 Receiver

JL Audio A4300 AMP

MB QUART QSC-216 6.5 Component Speakers

Still sorting it out.

WOW, that car is unreal. I am beyond impressed. DAMN.

I really like your console with the cup holders. Did Parker Performance design the console? I am not sure if you are into iPhones but if you are, you could use the same flush dock I used in my 650. Company 2point5.com You would just need the insert without the ashtray dock. You have room to install a flush ipod dock behind the cup holders.

Hey nice work!!! I'm about to get into a similar project and have a near term need for advice...

How did you connect the M20 to the heater? Any pictures, parts, hoses, or suggestions would be extremely welcome.

Thanks!!

This was posted before and I'll admit, it is not the best quality. However, I thought that I would put it out there for any new blog visitors to watch.

So will you be attend The Vintage in Winston Salem this year? I have a reservation to attend. Hope to see you there.

Good to see the car is up and appears to be running great.

This car now lives in California. It's a beautiful car and a beautiful build!! Builder should be proud of himself.

After reviewing this thread, I'd thought I would add some pictures I took of Ian's car while he owned it. Still one of my favorite builds.  Too bad it went out West.

Here is Ian during a shake down drive with fellow 02 owners during our caravan to Vintage at the Vineyards 2008.  Ian ran by us on Route 29 and it sounded amazing.
