Title: David S2K Retros
Post by: thisaznboi88 on October 11, 2010, 08:24:42 PM
So I been working on fixing David S2K retrofits that he bought from a guy on the forum. It hasn't been a fun 2-3 weeks. There was a lot of broken stuff, aiming was off, and he wanted me to black them out.

Anyways here are the Goodies

Not gonna lie, I'm nervous after seeing all of these imperfections.  Sorry for the headaches.  But I'm also hopeful for a job well done.  Let there be light.

I feel you bro. I was kinda iffy on taking on the job after I open everything up. Somehow I was able to work some of my magic. I really hope they meet your expectation.

Installed these retros yesterday with a lot of help from Tim.  They're pretty decent, but the cutoff is eeek.  Time to diagnose.

Don't be modest.  Besides bolting and unbolting things, I had no idea what I was doing.

I literally did nothing more than ghetto mount some ballasts and plug in some connectors.  You did all the shit work.
