      Yeah and those are super basic hand controls they get crazier / more intricate than that. Especially for quadriplegics since they have minimal use of their hands and arms. Its not that hard to brake at all. The brake is actually really touchy because of how the control works. The gas on the other hand gets tiring since throttle is on the thumb. Long drives and not having cruise control working in my car = very sore thumb. LOL

            • Got some paint laid down , Clear needs to be cut nd buffed pretty badly on the pass side. The driver side came out fairly decent. will need wetsand nd buff as well. Mind you Its all shot through rattle can. No compressor . Used a one part acrylic in Mercedes Benz 149 Polar white. Then for clear I gave it spray max 2k clear. Its 2 part with a catalyst . ( hardener)

                  Havent really been keeping people updated on the whole budget part LOL. got the Authentic lorinsers for $140 one was damaged. repair to barrel $100. rattle can white and all supplies to refinish faces. = $50 . Two junkyard fenders cost me $70 per side. The paint and supplies to re finish them ran me $106. i splurged a little and bought a grip royal for $120 back around X-mas time. It was on sale lol had to spend another $100 for an adapter. How much ive payed for labor = $0 because ive done almost everything myself. the things I didnt do( mostly because I couldnt reach from my chair) I had my brother or a friend come over and help me out with it. The one job I did not do myself which ended up breaking the whole "budget" aspect IMO was a new fuel injection computer / wiring it all back up. that happened around 180k miles and cost about 1k to fix. and that was not at a dealer but an independent euro center. the dealer quote was $1800+ to fix the computer + harness for it.

                              • No way I'd have the balls to go in and do a DIY partial respray on such a clean car. It's payed off man, looks tidy as.

                                Visit my build, that would be super good of you to do.
