Well thanks to my horrendous workload in March there isn't much to report at the moment. Got him through mot for another year thank god, got a replacement engine sat in the garage I haven't had time to touch yet lol and got a nice performance exhaust system winging its way to me as well. Now just need to actually make time to crack on with all these jobs ha ha

Just seen this project. Speechless to be honest, I grew up with Knight Rider, A-Team, Airwolf (old b'tard I know) wanted every one of them for real. Massive effort. Amazing work will follow this thread.

My missus does a lot of modelling and one of the photographers wants to do a car advert style video with KITT which is pretty cool

Once I have the pods wired in I'll try get a video of KITT chatting with me. He responds to certain phrases (albeit somewhat sporadically lol)

Refused to let torrential rain stop play on my weekend off and with the help of my mate we got the running lights fitted which nicely finish off the front end. Led so no f**king about with bulbs or s**t like that and just completes the front end look. Also got the switch pods wired in now!

If they ever do pull you over I bet it's only to look at the car and play with the buttons.
Got it in one. Once accidentally drove from Doncaster racecourse back to the hotel 6 miles away and hadn't put the correct UK plate back on. Got followed all the way by a Beemer cop car, pulled up alongside me at the hotel and it clicked then I had no plate. He got out and asked if he could look round and sit in the car as he was a massive geek ha ha never even mentioned the plate!

Couple of pics here from Kitts first proper outing of the season! Only downside is when polishing him found rust on the windscreen pillar and door bottoms :( anyway enough negatives here's KITT looking sexy ha ha

Does anyone know of a good body shop close to Huddersfield that would be able to repair my door bottoms and windscreen pillars????
 
Just read through a fair bit of this thread. I notice you mention rust creeping back in the areas it was previously, 3 years after being painted.
