Leslie M is a very good friend to us at DND Services, and her pride and joy, "Lawless", is her Quantum H4 (based on a Mk3 Ford Fiesta) and can often be seen exhibiting at various car shows up and down the country. If not on our own stand, then generally with the Quantum owners club. Leslie`s car was pretty special before we started, and certainly drew drew lots of attention, but what Leslie asked us to do certainly makes people stop in their tracks and gasp out loud, often swearing uncontrollably !!!

Even now, I still cannot believe what she asked me to do.

Remove the Seats The rear seats in this 2 + 2 were quite small, and Leslie had found a much better use for the space. So, as all projects start, remove everything and start with a nice flat base as your reference point. Incidently, the roof is actually a hardtop, and folds away into the area behind the seat - more of that later.

Strange Shaped Box The shape of the subwoofer box was carefully calculated, designed and constructed for optimum performance. The subwoofer chamber on the left is fairly self evident, but care must be taken with sharp angles such as these, to make sure that the box remains airtight and free from any leaks

Can you guess what the hole is for? The Box was trimmed in Blue Vinyl and Carpet, and the Steg amplifier fitted in place. But have you any idea what we were asked to put in that hole on the right hand side? Even now I am still lost for words!

N.O.S. N.O.S. or Nitrous Oxide System to you. This is without doubt, the largest bottle of laughing gas, I have ever seen, let alone fitted to an install ! For those that don`t know, Nitrous Oxide is injected into the engine to give an amazing instant increase of power. Big bottle in a lightweight fibreglass car ? I`ll leave you to do the Math`s.

And still she wanted more As with any softop, the sound in the back generally gets lost in the wind as you are going along, so Leslie asked us to put a couple of extra Cerwin Vega speakers in the back.

So we gave her some more This now sounds awesome with the roof up or down! The combination of Cerwin Vega speakers and Steg amplifiers is almost perfect!

Absolutely Barking ! Certifiable? You`d better believe it! And you can now understand why we love her to bits!
