After reading this all I can say is......holy shnizzle!!!!

I really need to check the Builds section more often. haha.

The project is more of a backburner project at the moment. A combination of other builds that are leaving soon or have recently left (C32, 318, RS6, Explorer) and a lack of customer-supplied funding (since it's not his top priority either, he's got other cars) to push forward with more work are the prime reasons.

That being said, I *did* forget to add the three new shots I've taken. We've recently picked up two new additions to the body shop, and one remains determined to get those wheels to fit under the rear arches. Without messing up the original shapes of the body lines, he determined how much we'll need to add to the fenders to get them to fit. Once we figured that out, we set out rolling and cutting the fender as necessary. There won't be much need for metal filler, as it's not an egregious widening, but we'll still have to get a bit custom with it.





I think the only build that's taking longer than this car is the damn GreenGoblin build. I really miss seeing regular updates from that guy.

Nice fender cut

[DannyE32]

yeah.. nice cut.

i think now we should give the owner of the car a call to show up more often with his wallet, so we can keep reading..

I'm just telling you things you already know: your weld jobs are just sick.

[markshulikov]

fucking baller!

[benfer]

is there a build thread for the RS6?

[softg]

^ this

keep up the work on this, can't wait to hear that exhaust

seeing that your exhausts are the business, what would it run me to get a set of dp's and full exhaust 3" all the way for my 2.7t Audi a6? can you all make a system without the car?

[FluidMotorUnion]

can you all make a system without the car?

Nope, not for that car, since we don't have a copy of it on hand to use. If you're willing to leave the car with us, I can get you a quote for sure.

And I do believe there's an RS6 thread in Builds somewhere.

[Bubwubwub]

Allways wanted to see this car with a proper stance
Any plans for some engine "tweaking"?

[brandonford]

any updates?

[Ervinr]

Those welds... you must be senza pari's son.

[Royal_T]

You guys are nuts...nothing but the best from Fluid MotorUnion
