What else is happening on this beast these days. you must have more cooking than just the rear diff.

:cheers

Fuel lines and painting parts etc are keeping me busy when I get a chance to work on it.

Moser is at least fixing it right away no prob. What bugs me even more is when someone says they will do something and then doesn't. A few weeks ago someone was building custom dashes for a second gen. I asked for a template on the face of it and was told it was no problem. This way I could tell him how far the dash could be lengthened for my application with the firewall shoved so far back. I was then told it was traced out and ready to send. Nothing.... So I call and leave a message saying I did not receive it.... Nothing again. So that is held up a couple weeks and now I look for an alternative. If someone doesn't want to do these little extra things just say so. Its not exactly a cheap build so its not like some one is thinking I'm not going to pay are they? I was more then willing to pay what he wanted to do the mod. Can I swear on here.... better not.

That is a weird story. I could see them saying no they don't want to bother. Or yes but I have a bunch of things on my plate.

I need you to finish this thing. I can tell you that's a fact.

Its honestly one thing after another. I ask a painter to give me a price. he doesn't even look at it and gives me some ridiculous quote to the tune of 15g. Now it may cost that, but without looking at it is that a normal quote?
Then I have a painter say no problem he can come look at it at my house, his mother lives down the street. After he first claims to lose my #, then he forgets, then 6 months after first contact he actually makes it to the house only because someone else I know knows him and he takes notes etc and..... nothing. Never heard from him.
The first time it goes to the fab shop for the chassis (I was told 2-3 months) I get it back 18 months later. It goes to the garage for fab work again for a what I was told was a few weeks and I get it back about 8-9 months later. Almost nothing from the initial list from day one changed. All the major work was on that first list and then the bill went over what I said I would spend and then stop by more then I want to say. It took months to rack up half the bill, and then in 2 weeks the bill doubled. Weird...
I live in a city with very few cars like this and very few places to bring it to. I know when its done I will be happy but some times the frustration of it all.

Hang in there and persevere... everyone hits those speedbumps and potholes... although you may have hit more than others.

We are all waiting (patiently) and rooting for you. Keep truckin!

I get the axles back today from Moser. Fantastic, I can install them. But wait... they removed the wheel studs to machine them and seem to have forgotten to reinstall them or even send them with the axles. Someone shoot me.

Moser should be over nighting them to you!

Steve you out there?

[speedjohnston]

Your funny. lol (Its Steve BTW) I didn't think anyone was still paying attention. I will post some pics this weekend. There has been a little progress with more things in the works. Just ironing out some details. I am however still waiting for my dash. This process has been very slow but to prevent any bad feelings I will leave it at that for now. Hopefully it was worth the wait.
