What to do next?

Now is where it gets tricky. I've done almost all the simple easy things that I needed to do. I don't know what else I want to do from here except for the addition of sun visors. The current ones aren't attached for some reason, and when I tried to connect them it seemed like the ports wouldn't accomodate them, so I either need to get new fixtures or new visors. But that shouldn't be too difficult either way.

What will be tougher is deciding what to do next. This was the driving reason for starting this blog. I am thinking I will try to do something technical, perhaps with the radio. I had an idea to have a finger-print recognizable ignition, but that would be a pain in the ass for handing the car off to anyone else (mechanics, friends, etc), plus its kind of unnecessarily gimmicky. That leaves me with a few other ideas that I haven't fleshed out very well... digital instrument panel readouts... mp3 audio system... not sure what else. There are some simpler things I'm thinking of, like a remote trunk release, but I want do more than just buy parts and install them (though I want to learn and be comfortable with how to do that as well).

Guess I'll keep giving it some thought... but if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to share!

  4. The exhaust tip is gone, check latest photos on facebook :) It was just a bolt on, took only 2 minutes to remove. I haven't seen the transporter, but I wanna try and do something else to the car other than messing with the ignition. If i screw that up it'll be a pain to fix it. And I'd rather have sun visors *and* sunglasses. Until I get contacts I can't just use sunglasses anyway.
