I did it, i finally did it!
My first fabrication is finally done. Been working on this for about 4 months. I have a full time job, so i have only worked on the project by night and weekends. Probably around 100-150 hours is put down...or more?

Put on body filler 5 min, wait 1 hour, sand, redo, redo, redo....... It take a while, trust me(Wiring, painting, glue, resin to dry). But enough about the boring stuff, here are the results:

My car

Version 1:

Version 2:

Charging (Usually use a inverter, but battery was completely flat)

Laptop

SPECS:
Old Acer TM laptop 1ghz, 30 Gig hd, 128 mb ram
7" touchscreen
Haicom gps
300w inverter
Sony HU with aux input.
(Usb wireless soon)

Running Roadrunner and Mapmonkey, ofcourse

Next step:
Bluetooth phonecontrol
Hiding and/or mounting laptop and inverter.

silly OT question:

In english: Are you norwegian? I mean, the sentence in your sig. is norwegian...
