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

Today, I got my 10.4"-TFT-display, that I ordered quite cheap via eBay. It's only a panel without a housing - for direct installation into the dashboard. It has a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.

Today, I was in Cologne to fetch my Dashboard and the new Gullwing from Chris Groeling (Project-KITT.de) who had fetched both together with his Dashboard from Knight Passions in the Netherlands.

Today I got a pair of new headlights from a 1991 Firebird. Because of the KR-frontnose, the old headlights did not really fit anymore, so I'll exchange them. The "Pontiac"-logo on the left headlight will be erased during the paintjob.

Today I got a pair of fender air extractors, that I bought at eBay some days ago. They will fit into new fenders, that I'll get very soon, too.

Today we installed a kit to comply with the "Euro 2"-standard. Additionally we changed the adjustment of the licenseplate from the right to the left side and finally installed the car stereo.

Today we took a look at the bottom side of the car. We changed the oil and one exhaust pipe had to be welded.

Today, I got my very good looking "KNIGHT"-licenseplate including "May 1982" registration stickers. I bought it at eBay.com just 5 days ago. It is made of stamped metal.

Today, I registered the car for Germany. Now I'm allowed to drive it legally on streets. Unfortunately, I only registered it for May to October, so there are only 26 days left this year.

Chris Groeling (Project-KITT.de) fetched his Dashboard from Knight Passions in the Netherlands today. He also brought my Dashboard and my new Gullwing-steeringwheel. I'm going to get both in late autumn.

In addition to the cowl induction hood, I just got the matching rearbumper from a 1984 Trans Am for my Firebird. The condition is quite bad and it also has a lot of holes from the former spoiler, but the price was OK, and I hope a paint shop will do the rest.

In Germany there must not be a red light in front of a car. So there are some problems with the scannerlight. It must not be able to be switched on, when the car is driving and it must not reflect light in red color. So we adjusted a black laquered lense in front of the scannerbar. Now it looks black, when the scannerlight is off.

With some kind of incredible luck, I got my hands on an offer for an original Cowl Induction Hood, which is extremly hard to find here in Germany. Today, I fetched the hood in Dresden. Of course, it still needs some work and a new paint-job, but the price was incredibly low.

Today, I registered my new licence plate. Unfortunately, there is no way to get a name on a licence plate in Germany, since we have the city (EF for Erfurt) and 1 or 2 letters and 1, 2 or 3 numbers here. So I registered EF-KI 77, which looks a little like "KITT". Additionally, I got my new stealth protection alarm system for the car, which also has a remote control for the locking system.

This weekend we finally adjusted the scannerbar into K.I.T.T.'s front. Additionally all front lights are functional now.

This weekend we started with the first changes: the front lights have a new position and contain turning signals now. Additionally, K.I.T.T. got his new taillights and a new license plate adjustment!
