With the new coils, are you going to abandon the air assist?

Thanks for all the comments.
I will definitely keep the photos coming.
The air ride is being upgraded. Had to go to good year to get the air bags made. Putting in a larger compressor and tank as well and relocating the tank from under the vehicle to inside vehicle.
Put all new tires on the 19.5 inch rims. They don't make the R8 tires anymore. So went with a lower profile wider tire 14 ply. The rims polished up really nice as well.

SSARKO, you have a beautiful coach. I love the couch and would love to see more interior pictures.
I can't tell if you have the outside tv on a table/stand or if you have some sort of mount...I would love to know more!
Thanks!

Hope you post details of the steering and brake work servoaero, that is too much work to gloss over.
Beautiful coach SSARKO hope to see it in person someday.

New to thread too
Hi All,
I'm new to the thread like Steve. I purchased my 1992 350LE just before Christmas and it has sat in my drive way as I am to busy right now to work on it. I do use it as a personal space and I am enjoying it as it sits in the driveway. It is pretty much original except it has the Banks Power Pack, The interior is original as well so seeing Steve's interior is helpful. I am thinking about a similar interior upgrade and have been to the HofArc site for ideas. Do all of the 345's and 350 come with the carpet on the ceiling and walls? Is their a process for removing it and refinishing the walls. For the exterior, there is a local body shop that says he can remove the clear coat by using a power soda spray (no sand) and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on that.
I'm afraid I will be a sponge for info more than a contributor for awhile.
PS Hope I posted my photo correctly

SSARKO,
How do you have the TV mounted where it seems to be floating above your two seats in the lounge area?

You are really moving along!!! I bet the space really seems huge with everything out. Since you are doing a total rewire, are you planning to go solar so you can boondock?
