thought i'd bang another update up this is really all i've had time to do as i've been flat out on a clients car which needs to leave tommorow aaahhhhh i feel an all nighter coming on lol.

well here it is my new audi rs4 steering wheel.



and i thought i'd bang a cheeky picture up of me laying frame lol.

loving the laying of the frame 

steering wheel doesnt do it for me, and if it did, the rs4 branding would irritate me

surprised you didnt go more aftermarket with it

loving your ride to date though fella, still dont like those rims but adore everything else, especially the colour!

ha ha thats cool i trial fitted my other rims the other day so will be a bit of a winter project getting these to fit and tuck hopefully.

Just got a thing for the rs4 wheel really the idea from the begginign was to run brakes seats and wheel, but the brakes things has taken a bit of a change but being as i've had the wheel for a while i thought i may aswel fit it. Hopefully going to start getting the buttons to work the airride etc in the near future.

I love the steering wheel mod Luke, if you could manufacture a VW centre in Alcantara it would be a winner for me. 

Have you had the wheels re-polished and coloured yet.

No i've got some serious work to do to get the wheels onto the car to be fair, thw wheels fit great if you were on coilovers but i just can't get them to tuck enough the tyres are coming off them today then down to the endgineering shop tomoz to hopefully machine the backs down a couple of mm to get them tucking better. then put the tyres back on get it stancing right then back off with the tyres and plit them down and paint the centres.

Bit of a nightmare but these things are sent to try us lol.

Cheers mate thats cool glad you like it, i realise the more i travel along with the project the bigger the divide will come with people not liking parts but like we all do (or at least should do) we build our cars for us and our own personal tastes.
I appreciate everyone's comments good or bad on the project which is cool and help me to learn from others veiws on the vehicle.

Well the bug has bitten hard now and like all my cars i know i'm going to get way carried after going to players yesterday and truely enjoying myself and the show.

Heres a few updates i got bored of seeing the car up on axle stands all day saturday before the show while we messed with the stance to drop the back down a little more so i stripped the centre console and began to play.

More to come this week i think ha ha.





And heres the back down a little more stancing



and one i grabbed while at players yesterday

i envy you the skill of just being able to want something and create it like you do, a true talent mate seriously
