Ratslaaf's F10 535 (re)build

[ChefDJ]

Yes Gertjie, fit the HUD :rollsmile:

 

[RAArmstrong]

HUD is a must have! So good!

 

[AshG108]

Gertjie!!

You make a habit of taking on hard stuff to make it look easy.

Good luck bud, can I come pick up the 320d or the ///M now? :rollsmile:

Haha, 320d is gone bud. Sold it last week.

 

[TurboLlew]

It will probably never be easier than right now to fit that HUD... Just sayin'

:cthulhu:

 

[Ratslaaf]

You guys aren't helping

Well that then makes the choice easier, right?

Dude, I'm looking at F10's at the moment. First one I drove had a HUD. Its life changing, now I wont consider a car without it

 

[cOlDFuSiOn]

If you don't do it now you will end up doing it later and that might be more work..

I like these F series retrofits.. We should talk.. Buy they aint cheap..

 

[zaleonardz]

AND since the windscreen needs to be changed anyway, its way easier to remove the dash with the windscreen out.

You will also find that there are marks inside the dash that shows you precisely where to cut....

 

[Zound]

HUD HUD HUD!

 

[Ratslaaf]

Aaaaaaaargh. I just don't want to spend another R8k on a windscreen now, over and above the normal windscreen, with all the other unplanned expenses. I can just as well leave the hud project for next year if I feel the desire for tackling something silly.

I'd rather spend that same money on this:

Oh, and this:

New cluster on left, old one on right

 

[zaleonardz]

Can organize you a pirate but SABS approved for like R3,500,

That's where she was going the morning I crashed her, just needed to change a windscreen, and she would have been sold..

That said, seeing her come back to life like this makes me happy...

AND 6WB FFS !!!!

I got a good deal on a replacement OEM windscreen. But for HUD, that becomes a R12k windscreen.

 

[zaleonardz]

discussed this at length with our friend in Secunda.

Apparently you cant really tell the difference.

 

[Ratslaaf]

HUD looks out of focus on plain windscreen. I think that would be more of a distraction than not having it. There's some pics floating about

 

[Fordkoppie]

I recently drove an armored G11 750i with HUD, and its really annoying, because the display doubles up as it gets projected on the 2 furthest ends of the thicker glass.

 

[WyKiD]

To add to your dilemma you will also need a new pair of sunglasses if your current ones are polarized, as they block out/filter the hud...:hammerhead::roflol:

 

[Ratslaaf]

So with photobucket being borked I'm going to try google. I still need to contact the mods to update all the older pics in this thread...

Anyway, some quick pics of the car being prepped for paint

And a week later, assembly can start. Once it's all together it needs to go for final polish and touch ups.

And finally, I got some new keys in as well

Mega drools this car !!!!!! :clapper:
