Nahh man, still waiting...

13months and counting at the paint shop. He changed to a different paint supplier and now got his new mixing station up and running, won't be long now.

Even though it took an absurd amount of time, the quality is top notch and that's all that matters!

Does the Kia housing have to be shortened? Or is it just a little wider, I remember your rear wheel offset is slightly off from stock because of this, is that correct?

Diff housing is NOT the rear axle.
It's the part that holds the diff and bolts into the axle

some time ago i sold a kidney on Ebay, or rather swapped it for this RX-3 SP steering wheel



and finally, after exactly 15 months, the car has been dropped off back home
good things come to those who wait, damn that is so true!
the quality is TOP NOTCH
there are some miniscule faults, like normal, but the car hasnt even been touched or polished after paint.
i will be putting it back together first and when that is finished the paint will have a final check and the car will be polished

Great work Furb!
You know what the problem is knowing this guy personal? You're own car wil be second best at most! On the other hand his project is such an inspiration to at least strive for that second best place.
