I’ve done an upgrade tot he armrests (evo3). I thought they looked quite simple, so I sanded down the character line.

Now that I’m satisfied, i twill stay like this

As for the sound, I’m going to try playing with a bass reflex. This is going to be very difficult, but I’ll try anyway.

A good friend of mine who has a special program fort his, is going to calculate the length of the gate.



I already made the exit of the gate.

And made a test.

And finished it of.

These 2 pieces have taken 2 days of work, but I’m very proud of the result. Especially according to presentation, that’s important for me.

So I’ll be mounted in the door.

What’s black will be covered in carbon fibre, and the bass reflex will be painted in silver, like the moldings in the interior

Here you can see the carbonworks. 5 layers of epoxy are added here.

After sanding you can see it’s not quite smooth yet, 2-3 more layers will be necessary

On the end of the bas reflex, I made some sort of flange to tighten the whole thing.

I like to have many different components that you can screw in and out of each other when there’s somethings wrong with it

This is the backside. It needs to be finished more properly

Here's how the plastic drain pipe is mounted. On this piece I can now continue with a right pipe Simple.

Of course, this pipe will also be painted in silver.


And this is how it looks at the back where it’s screwed.

As you can see I'm busy again making some new door panels for my BMW.

My operated left shoulder is for 80% as it should be, of course there are limitations in terms of motion and strength, but as it is now I can get away with it.


However, I hven’t got good news for the right shoulder. They have taken a scan and it shows that my bone is worn.

All they can do is put a reverse shoulder prosthesis. In my case (wheelchair) this is not without risk. Since I use my shoulders more than a normale person, this will wear out much faster.

With a prosthesis, the movements of my arm are also very limited. I understand that’s when I’m doing this, my hobby could be finished..

Now stopping and doing nothing, won’t help either.

The surgeon told me I just have to everyday things but don’t force myself. Enjoy everything you do he said, and so I do.

Since I don’t have that much pain in it now I’m postponing the operation as long as possible.

A time when I have to have the surgery, they can’t say…


I didn’t sat still very long, when they told me the news.

A lot of thinking never helped anyone in this case. There are worse things in ,life.

Working in my garage, on my bimmer, having fun and enjoying the things I can still do…that’s the message for now.

That’s it…simple.

A couple of years ago I an oven myself to let my carbon fiber pieces to cure.
I sol dit when I moved out of my house. Now that I’m settled, I made a new one.
Cause someday, I want to make a carbon fibre trunk spoiler, I made this one big enough.
Accidentally, a friend of mine had an oven laying around in his garage for me.
Because I NEVER had any issues with my previous one, I used the same materials.
Here you see the 2 heating elements where I only connected the outer ones, cause this supplies the heat I needed (70 degrees)

You can also see that I provided the solid iron plate with a heat-resistant cloth.
P1030183_resize_zpsnm3oxerm.jpg
The case I made of 18mm thick melanin. Cause the heat goes up, I also provided the top with a cloth.
P1030184_resize_zpsialhmpd1.jpg
You can also see that the plate is about 6cm from the bottom. I did this to prevent the wood overheating.
The original lamp was also used. So I don’t to put the thing OFF in time
P1030194_resize_zpssnislxss.jpg
Then I also made a aluminium plate with big holes to put on the big pieces.

When everything was ready, I put everythings on my driveway and turned it on for 10hours on the highest setting.
If something would happen, it should have been then.
