Yeah i know, its a solid build for once haha

Most of it is hidden away so it didnt matter what it looked like TBH, but i will tidy up the part you can see when you open up the glove box. I will either paint it black and/or get some black cloth material. Same stuff they use for sub boxes.

I dont have time this week to wire it all up so i will do it around the 18th when i finally break up from uni.

Also bought a fibreglass kit yesterday lol. Gonna attack my car with it after a few test runs :P

also have you thought about just removing the xbox case and mounting that fan where the old one is ?? then leaving the case off ??.


Edit: i know xbox is geat in all and infact i have two xbox 360 and no playstation but im begining to think playstation would have been a better idea for that project as they are not as fragile and the problem your goin to have keeping that xbox cool too :?

That fan on the side looks the nuts! Might have to attack mine like that, I was thinking of leaving the casing off but then its not protected.

Yeah the 360 is a bitch when it goes wrong but i love em, even if i am on my 3rd one now, i even waited outside the store to get one the day it was released! Sad i know!

Not really interested in PS3, well not unit the new Gran turismo comes out of course

lol yeah i waited 4 hours to get halo 2 :D lol.... the elite xbox dosnt seem to have as many problems so mybe you wolnt have to wory too much and removing the top of the case would only be if you wer 100% that it wouldnt get any harm. the mounted fan like the pic above would be the best 8)

Yeah i would prefer not to drill though my xbox just to put a fan on as its still in warranty, Even though a 120mm fan on the side looks the nuts!

I will see what i can come up with and if all else fails i will drill a circle in my 360 :P

My fibreglass kit will come wednesday so i will start smoothing my rear bumper over the weekend :D

Once i get pro i might make a few builds for my sounds too

well it currently has a combat front and some weird rear bumper, im ripping them off and going standard but smoothed out, should look ok, i prefer simple than OTT

Your car looks good mate, nice boot build is the way forward for interior.
