Hi all, I have been puting my car pc together over time, and finnaly have it most of the way together. Here is the car

This is the modding I did to the dash

Also thank you "moremods" for the olds rocket menu

I will add some more pics when I get the pc mounted better (its sitting on the floor right now). As for the pc I used a morex case with a 80w dc-dc converter/regulator and an itps with the regulator bypassed, works very well like this. The MB is a MII1000 512mb ram dvd-rom/cdrw 60gig hd. The only problem I have right now is that the lcd is very hard to see in the daylight, I am thinking of tinting the back windows anyway hopfully that will help.

Sadly tinting wont help much. I double limo'd the back 3 windows in my truck and limo'd the doors, my problem is the screen in my truck reflects my shirt and the sun coming through the windshield. Hence my CIMR IR remote is used durring the day and at night I show it off. I want to look around at some of the factory NAV's to see how well you can read them durring the day maybe figure out some way of making the lilli look better in the day. Nice job, crazy car.

That is so awesome!

It's the car from That 70's Show but with style!

ROFL! I was thinking the same thing when I first looked at it. One of the only station wagons I've seen in that good of condition.

@TucsonPred: Wear black shirts! ;-)

Thanks for the comments

. This was my first car that I got in 1995 and since then I have added or changed all kinds of things. As far as the screen I held my jacket up behind me this morning to block out the sun from behind and it seemed to work.. so I am hoping that window tint will help.

That screen really goes in there well. Like the old school ride... Definatley a clean ride.

I think tinting will go a long way to help you. But as others have pointed out there will still be some times where it won't like sun comming in through the front and reflecting off your or your passenger's shirts. Besides, i think some tint will make your wagon even cooler....
