Project: RS2 ABY

[AndyP]

Almost a year since your last update, what's happening??

[jubjub]

These things happen unfortunately...as soon as it goes out of someone's hands, then
that's where things evidently go pear shaped. I get it on most of my jobs
It will no doubt be well,well worth the wait though....

I was wondering how long it would take for somebody to flag this up for attention

The car is still with Quattro Coachworks but undergoing major surgery as i type.

The scope of the project has somewhat predictably changed, and we've had some serious delays from suppliers in receiving parts which pretty much wrote off starting the project until a few months ago.

For example i ordered some wheels that met my exact requirements in November that didn't arrive until April, and even then they weren't 100% and i had to compromise on the colour. I was going for a very unusual setup on the car, and it became clear there were massive delays in getting these made after many months of "they'll be here next month" from the supplier. Obviously QC can't start fabricating arches when they doesn't have the wheels which they're designed to fit... and that's just 1 of the delays we've had!

The great thing now is that all the parts required have been received so it's all good to go, and things are back under-way again.

It's not ideal at all, and i don't expect to get the car back now until 2016, but these things happen and it's absolutely not QC's fault in the slightest. Ish has been great and very patient whilst i tried to resolve the part situation!

Any updates to this as yet?

I considered a 2871 for a short period, but wanted to stick with kkk. If i was doing it again i think i'd just go for a HX35.

[zafra]

Ah ok sorry, i read this in my mobile but think it isnt refrest.
I remember read in your thread something of gt2871, but probably im wrong, sorry mate

Hi sonic, finally, what is your setup? Cams, turbo...

[andy10v]

They are available if someone wants them...

Would you cut the rear arches out the shell?

Would you be able to get bumpers and all arches on a pallet?

[Rocco]

Those arches look epic!
