Title: My MIP project, what i did so far...
Post by: wax78 on June 06, 2016, 01:46:25 AM
Hi Folks,

My overhead is almost done, except for backlighting and gauges. I decided to order a FDS DSTD MIP a couple of months ago. Good product of great quality.

I just want to share with you some pics. I know i have a lot of thing to work on, but i'm really glad that my set up is starting to look good.

Good move, neat.
(tu as vendu ta maison ou achetĂ© une autre?  :D)

The new wiring harnesses are fantastic, just plugging in compared with zillions of terminals to solder just a few years ago on mine...

En maison, pour le moment j'ai une chambre reservée... ;)

Yes, the MIP is outstanding even though some awful fees by DHL which were near 30% of the retail price. I was astonished and really upset by this, and i have to admit that i'm a littlle bit scared about my future purchases with FDS.

I hear you on the shipping and DHL. I ordered a 100 lot of amber 7 segment displays from Ali Baba and the shipping  (DHL) was as much as the order. It's really getting out of hand.

Your wiring looks fantastic though. Hopefully I can manage to make mine half as neat as yours and Jacks.
