What do you guys think? It's starting to grow on me and is the correct European look...I need to put the third light somewhere though..maybe the back window?

Nice, got the new trunk mounted up! I think a pro wrestler must have owned your car at one point and was not too kind to the trunk hinges. Looks like things are coming together for your 164!

Here's coming back from camping. I know, a little slow in the revs, but that's what a couple 100lbs of camping gear will do!

Yeah, my digital camera has a mic in it. You can tell when I rolled up the passenger's side window, lol.

Thanks!  But it's only a 12v!
I use photobucket and pay a small fee like $8 for 3 months and it lets me host unlimited amounts of space.

Thanks, all! I'll try and get a setup so I can mount the camera somewhere for a longer video!

After a grueling 2 hours, the european sidemarkers/flashers are now fully functional. I thought my tensioner had snapped when I started the car, but it was the rear of the light housing scraping on the alternator fan/fins. Scared the s**t out of me.
Does anyone want to be amused by a blinking light video?

You bet! And thank you everyone for your compliments! I didn't know it would be that great of a hit. I even played it at the local ARA Alfa meeting last week on the projector screen and people really loved it!
I'm going to try and make a camera mount for the 164, but I have no idea how...hoping to have it done before the driving tour on the 30th. That's when I really push the 164.

Count me in on that tour Sean, I am getting new shoes put on the 164 this weekend just for the event! I hear the tour of the santa cruz mountains is a blast, and I am really looking forward to it. But so far I have not found, or really looked for, a link to the alll Italian day festival, and where it is being held and what time. Let me know, oh yeah tommorrow (friday) is lenard's brithday, so give him a shout! Take it easy,
Jon

I just kind of fell onto this thred and was wondering how that $250.00 164S coming? I knows it's been a year since these last post so I figured there would be some decent progress.
