Black Beauty

SAS Black Beauty starting to take shape. One of the delays was a wiring problem caused by the random generator on the anti theft system. Subaru had a better idea. With The wiring completed the assembly of the car can proceed.This is a flared car with a 300HP STI turbo motor. I am using a 5 speed because the 6 speed is a few thousand more....I would rather spend a few thousand on other things for the car.Here are the first pictures for your review......

It always makes me happy to see work-in-progress pictures.
That's a whole lot of wiring in there.
I like the windshield frame and the headrest on the seat. Is that a dummy, or is that the style of seat you're using?
For some reason, headrest seats look a little out of place on Speedster-bodied cars, but that looks quite contemporary on the full-windshield Cabriolet.

No LED'S I want bright.....I don't want the "never saw the motorcycle until I hit it"......The seat you see is the final one. The headrests are removable and my plan is to use them on long trips and remove them around town....Cory... I wanted simple wiring like yours (very nice job by the way) but to many things require a computer for control. Here are a couple of examples.... one is mine.. try to guess which one is which?

Weekly update.....Well, we have started on the interior.... gauges are in ...Note the boost gauge in place of the clock...Clock will be located in the already too small glove box....We have included drive by wire technology "electronic throttle" so there will be no throttle linkage..I still remember my 911 with all those cabs and linkage which were almost impossible to synchronize
