Default some pics

Here are some pics of a 86 turbo with 12,000 original miles on it. I also put some pics of my latest creation. This is a escalade with 30,000 worth of stereo and cosmetic upgrades. Thought some of you guys might like it.

Looks kinda like a siren for an aftermarket alarm... -I put something very similar on a couple of cars back in the 1980's. -Perhaps the car didn't have cruise and the spot was used for an alarm?

-Just a guess...

The Escalade leaves me completely cold. I do a lot of stuff with professional audio, and ostentatious, excessive installations always make me gag... -maybe that's just me, but a $200 pair of headphone sounds better than anything you can do in a car...

Like I say, it's probably just me.

The 951 is looking good, now the escalade belongs in South central los angeles or the watts disctric, a drug dealer will pay a large amount of cash for that suv.

12k miles/20 years and needs a broom to hold the hood up. other seals, bushings will probably be in the same condition.

good luck

yep. Only seen one 951 w/ pin stripes...and that only looks good because Michelle is so cool.
Escalade...pimped out that's SOOOO unusual.

oops. I'm supposed to cover my mouth when I yawn.

Not a shot at you JBrown, just a comment on stuff in general.
Good work BTW.

The escalade is not mine I just do the work. I only do what the customer wants. If he brings me a BMW and wants sound quality he gets that. I though i would show the truck just to show the work. I did not think i would get bashed. Some peaple like to go excess on there trucks . By the way the work i do just landed me a spot on a TV show. It is called how to catch a theif. It is on the Discovery channel. I do the first show the 13 of this month. I might even be a regular on the show. It airs this fall and is in its second season. VWaddict send me those headphones and i will wear them on the show

No love for the pin stripe only Michelle can pull it off
And all that oxidation in the engine bay.....
and get them some new hood struts!
Check that fuel line at the end of the rail for cracking on the inside curve.
I can't count how many sports cars(even Ferrari's are not immune) I have seen ruined by monkeys that think they can install an alarm or stereo, or cellular kit then the classic GINOURMOUS speaker that looks like CRAP!

Good to see JBrown is not one of the above. You obviously know how to wire.
