As I have done it with the previous lartmobiles. I dont know if I can bring this car to the specs of the #1 lartmobile which ran gloriously for almost 4 years until a oriental gentleman decided to use the rear of my car as a stop.

Who needs radios when you can have this

That's the original lartmobile

I made it easy for you. All you have left is the lights, front wipers, and blower. Oh, and the driver side speaker wire. Not only are the airbags and the module out, it has the non-airbag dash which is so much lighter than the airbag dash. Also the sound deadening and carpet glue is gone, AC, cruise.

Love it. Hope you keep it. If you are like Josh B then there is a For Sale sign in the glove box ready to be posted at a moments notice.

Time to make a commitment that this will be the best LartMobile ever!

Hey Luis Congrats ... That is a great Turbo and set up from John (Vitesse)

If the rear trunk carpet is too heavy for your car and in good condition I want it.

Nice car Lart. Make sure you take some videos once you get it all set up, some of my favorite 951 vids are the ones featuring your original Lartmobile doing some fly-bys at night.

Yes, it's the same as the "Bosch High Volume" fuel pump sold by Lindsey(Not the 044). If I remember correctly it was OEM on some Mercedes. It's somewhere in flow between stock and the 044. I have all stock wiring though.
