myKITT.de - My Knight Rider K.I.T.T. Replica

Besides my replica-project, I'm also a huge fan of the "Back to the Future"-trilogy and the webmaster of the largest German fansite for the films, www.ZidZ.com. There we organize annual fanmeetings. This year, I went there with K.I.T.T. and we made some beautiful images.

Over the last 2 weeks, K.I.T.T. was at the garage for the necessary vehicle inspection. So there were some repairs to do. The car got a new chassis, a new windshield, a new catalytic converter and new brake hoses with new brake fluid. After that it passed the inspection with no problems.

Over the past days, we solved the headliner-problem of too much space between the headliner and the car body. Additionally, we started to fit the dashboard into the car. Unfortunately it will still need a lot of bodywork.

Over the last two days, we connected the lower console in the car. Now, the scanner can be controlled via the lower console, which also shows the scanner's function. After that, we finally connected the second battery in the trunk and connected the scanner to the emergency break. Now it can not be activated while driving - the only legal way in Germany.

Today, I built the tan interior into my car. Some parts are still missing, because my headliner and sail panels are still at the saddler's house. Additionally, I built the lower console into the car. Yet, there are no functions. The buttons will be connected later.
