So some know, Branden sold his CQ/S2/RS2 project to me and I picked up where he left off.

To start this topic a link to his project page:

Dropped my car off to the master of paint (my talented friend that painted my A8 ) for a once over and painting the bumper. All I can say is that I am a picky mother ****er and every time I bring something to him, he eclipses what I thought was "good" and I always walk away blown away..

As of today:

Tomorrow I will be wiring up the city lights and RS2 blinkers to fill those holes. The factory fog light molex is the same plug as the RS2 ones. Nice.

I found a place that has OEM RS2 lights in stock and I will be ordering them within a week. Just waiting to hear back on how they accept payment. If anyone is interested in the headlights & turn signals in the photo above email me an offer.

Cheers,
Dan

Thanks everyone! I am glad to be here and can not wait to see the progress myself. I have loved these cars since they came out and just never knew how much I wanted one until I researched them and saw them in RS2 form. Yum, then the hunt began..

Hey Ron!! Great to see you over here too! No, we did not complete it yet, but I have been busy with this coupe and she doesn't "need" the V8Q yet. We will be in touch soon!

I don't want to thread jack my own project, but here is one picture of each of them. Also this CQ is the first car that I have purchased where it already had work done to it. All the cars below were bought unmolested and are still owned:

The car I have had the longest:

;

Although I have owned 7 supras at the same time at one point, this is the mk3 supra that captured my heart:

I bought this car as a daily driver, but ended up a work of art:

Once the A8 when that far, I bought this for everyday:

Then the CQ captured my heart.

So, my girls cars:

She bought the V8 a while ago and it may become a new project this year:

She bought this new:

She drives the 4000 as a daily:

(I bought another supra which was on the trailer, thus the picture)

I've been here since the beginning "03"

& I'm not a huge fan of the A8's cause I think they lack character..... but yours is not lacking in anything!
