I will be feeding back to the suppliers for sure.

Might be worth getting it shot blasted and painted. You may make a bit on it. I paid £100 for a second hand FL1 one and it was blasted, zinc primed and sprayed for £80

I have to say, there is some stirling work going on on the FL1 @Nodge68. That subframe looks pretty solid for the most part! *edit* P.S. nice shiny new jack there!

They look good, and expensive!

Might look for a nice FL1 to nick if I head to Lisbon sometime ;)

Yeah, and rear diff, fuel tank cradle, rear arms, brake pistons and hoses, osf wishbone and track rod end, nsf driveshaft. Phew!

Took it for it's last battery charging run before it goes off for major surgery at the end of the week.

Time for the stat mod?

Yeah, and it'll still need window regulators, a VCU, door speakers, and a head gasket some time ;)

Me and the boy now get really excited when we see another, especially as mine has had very few trips out of late. It should be up and running iminently though so looking forward to going out and flashing in it.... oo er

I've not changed the head unit out of mine, but these guys are the go to people for harness adapters. They have the specific ones for the Becker head unit which is in the HSE models. Products by vehicle manufacturer - InCarTec InCarTec is a UK based manufacturer and distributor of car audio...

You'll have to forgive me as it was a good few years ago, but I think I either did it by removing the cup holders in the dash, or reached up behind from the footwell. I defintely didn't take the HU out. I don't recall it being particularly difficult though

Looks great. Where did you manage to source that from?

Yes. That's the becker unit. The cable I linked goes in the back of the HU. Swap the it for the blue plug that is on the vehicle wiring and take the plug out of the cd changer under the drivers seat. Then activate the AUX function on the HU.

Is this an FL1 with the Becker HU? If so you can use a cheap aux in cable like the link below, and use any Bluetooth adapter with a 3.5mm connector. You just have to take the plug out of the multichanger. HQRP Audio cable 8-pin ISO to 3.5MM fits Porsche 1999-2002 Becker Traffic Pro, CDR-22...

You're doing it proud though. Looking forward to further updates (with pics obvs)

I love seeing shiny new bits on a car. Shame it's only you, us nerds and the MOT tester that'll see it, unless you roll it of course. Don't do that.

Pinkies crossed, it being your new un and all.

I've noticed that starting to happen a bit lately.

This thread is a great idea, but makes me feel melancholy.
