and yes my radio is now in the glovebox (hanging) thats why you see the wires (not for long tho)

only thing to do is connect the gauges and radio ant.

connected the air/fuel today and it works very good

to all that want to now how smileys/smiley2.gif :

first you take the lambda wire and strip it
than you see 4 wires (1 black, 2 white's and 1 grey)
you take the black 1 and burn the plastic of it
than you strip the wire from the air/fuel meter and weld it (with tin offcourse) on the black wire and tape it al water thight with black tape

thats all smileys/smiley4.gif
