After the window, the door has been cut out. Next steps: Primer, sanding, primer, sanding, primer, sanding...
I did not like the bottom plate, that is why I made this cover. It is made of a CD-ROM-Board, a busted TFT-Inverter and a network adapter.
The lift raises the plasmaball only 2,5 cm or 1 inch, but it is better than nothing.
The underbody illumination with switchable lights.
Here you can see old paint. The pipes and the box have no function, are not mounted yet. Everything is just decoration!
The mess has to get cramed inside.
