Old77's 2007 Burb "build" thread
WARNING: This thread will probably only be interesting to me :)
The purpose of this thread is to mainly keep track of what I've done with part numbers and stuff in case I want to reference it later as well as keep an updated "to do" list of stuff I want to do next. I also will keep this first post current with "before" and "current" pics so that I can see how it transforms. Sometimes you lose track especially on slow builds and forget how far it's come. This will definitely continue to move slowly but I've added some new things to my future mod list that I think will be cool. Feel free to offer up suggestions and I may stick them on "the list".

Well, just found a killer deal on Concept CLD-700 headrest monitors on eBay. I got 2 (one with built-in DVD) for $100 :eek: Now I just need two more and we will be good to go other than the speaker upgrade! :party33:

Just ordered the other two headrests :D
|
I had a hard time getting good pics of these but 2 of my headrest monitors arrived yesterday. The other 2 will hopefully show up today.

Looking good! Those headrests look nice!

Finally started chipping away at the install last night with getting the HU ready for install. I hope to get the monitors in place by the weekend. We shall see how far I can go with this as this is my install attempt. It's a bit overwhelming at times :lol:
|
Here's a pic of the new head unit. Finally got it in! This aspect being new to me (I've always just paid to have them installed) it took me MUCH longer than it should have to install. :)
BEFORE http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps71891eb9.jpg AFTER http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...psa4f17782.jpg I'm going to start really attacking the headrest monitors on the captains chairs this week and see if I can't get this finished up in the near future. |
Forgot to post in this thread :) Here's where this is now and I just completed running the wire today. Should received my RCA adapters on Wednesday and video would be complete in the Burb :win:
http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps502ce722.jpg |
Got some things left to button up but for all intents and purposes it's installed. Kids should be ecstatic!
http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps1fc23644.jpg |
Bout time!
|
:lol: tell me about it. I'm glad to be past that. Still have some slight modifications to do to get it finished up and clean but I can handle that.
|
really nice and clean hoe, whats ur future plans for it?

Yes the Burb is filthy cuz I haven't had a chance to clean it after this last weekend of storms. http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps34ead341.jpg |
Installed my reverse lights tonight after giving the Burb a wash....

The billet bowtie on the front started corroding so I needed to do something about it
Before http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps1455cce4.jpg If you look close here you can see the biggest corrosion spot below the chrome plating http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps2d8b73ce.jpg Sanded down http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps6ac3cbaa.jpg Primed http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...psc3d36d55.jpg Color before clear coat http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps9ac967c2.jpg Installed http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/a...psa816f487.jpg 3 coats of primer, 5 coats of color and 3 coats of clear Came out pretty decent I think :) |
like the painted tie way more!!!
|
Acquired some Esky mirrors. I'm hoping to get these painted this week and installed by next weekend.
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...6B97BFEAAC.jpg |
Those esky mirrors are gonna look good on there man! I like the led upgrades btw!
|
:waytogo: thanks! :) i do too. Makes a huge improvement and not real expensive compared to other mods. still need to do LED upgrades on the front end but that'll be in a month or two.
|
where did you get your LEDs at? lookin awesome man! and those mirrors will be tits!
|
I got most of the LEDs from vleds.com as they seemed to have the best prices along with a reputation for good quality. I've heard of a lot of people getting LEDs off eBay but i'm kind of skiddish about that not really knowing what quality you're getting :) I think I may have also ordered a couple off superbrightled.com.
I'm stoked about the mirrors too! I'm hoping to get them back in time to install them this weekend :) |
|
OEM chrome handles are on their way to go with the mirrors.
