GaleForce's build
 
I'm impressed that you managed to take it all apart in a couple of minutes, but you need to put it back together so you can go for a drive :driving:

I have thought about doing it myself. I just don't have the time. :ugh2:

:iagree: I get a new idea every time I change/remove/modify a part, which causes me to change/remove/modify something else. :ugh2:

Update-

1. Seats... who the f*** knows.
2. Intake pipes should be back in 10 business days.
3. Steering wheel has been ordered, should have it in 5 weeks.
4. I hope to start and finish reworking the oil lines this weekend.
5. :ugh2:

That's quite a list. Mine is starting to grow too.

Did your intake charge pipes not come in the wrinkly black finish?

No. I paid a premium to have them polished.

Everything was good until I installed the TS engine cover. There was too much carbon fiber with it and my strut bar, which led me to buy and powdercoat a new strut bar. The powdercoating ended up being way darker than I wanted, so I came up with an idea for my CF strut bar. To go with that idea, I decided to paint my BOVs. Now there isn't enough contrast between them and the intake pipes.., so the pipes are getting powdercoated a contrasting colour. :ugh2:

Just got word the US distributor has my seats in the studio for some high-res pics. They are supposed to ship out to me tomorrow.

You got "word" but no pics? :excited: for good news and eventual pics :tup:

If they really are done and shipped, that's pretty amazing how they nearly kept their week turnaround promise after fvcking up an order that took 6 months (IIRC) originally :ugh2:

And that's how things snowball

I did get a cell phone pic, but that could have been taken in Germany for all I know. :p

So once you get the high-res shots, you are gonna post them here riiiiight? I mean imagine how impatient you are to get these seats, and you already know which ones they are. So now imagine how impatient I am to find out! :p

Yes I'll be posting. Don't get too excited, they're not as rare as you think. It's the stitching and heat that make them one-offs.

I'm more excited to see my harness bar installed. Thanks again for the help!
