The Blue Reactor

I bought this car from my dad 3 years ago and it has served me as a very reliable companion.

I was just going to fix the rust this spring, but it went to far. I ended up repainting my car using spray cans.
I started out with blue paint, but changed my way half way through.
The car looked like crap since the paint wouldn't cover well... But luckily some silver flakes created a great lustre which evened out the dark red metallic lacker. A golden Viper stripe really lifts the looks of the car and gives it a unique look.

My audio system is clever, cheap and powerful.
I use a portable CD player capable of playing Mp3 music. That allows me to put 170 songs on one disc.
It is hooked up to the 4 channel MDS Fanatic amplifier, which has a built crossover, supplying 2*55 watts to a two way 5.5" MDS system in the front with the tweeters near the window buttons, and 2*55 watts to a 2 coil 15" subwoofer in a 100 liter box in the trunk. Great for reggae music... Beatles, rock and pop.

It plays loud and very balanced.
I've had to mute the woofer somewhat but it is nice to know that the power is there to rumble the car.

I've thought of mounting a speakerbox under the car to play the sound of a V8 engine or to share my music... but so far I've been to lazy.

I installed blue neon lights in the front grill a few weeks ago, giving the car a very mean profile.

The driveshafts need to be replaced, as well as a bearing for the front right wheel. I'd like to have spiked tires now in the winter instead of the "all year" tires I have. The left indicator light seem to work when it wants to.

If i fix that and the few dents it has, then this car can roll for 10 more years.

I am thinking Citroën Xsara... but the Blue Reactor will have to burn out first.
