hi everyone ive had an update from the maker, copied below: This job is a nightmare. Came back for 5 days and now it’ll be at least 10. What a mess. So this will unfortunately push back the date of delivery for looms. I have all the gear now and the cables are cut to size so that will give me a head start. They will be done before Christmas but I understand that folk might want to pay after. Let’s see how it goes.

i bet the front seats are up for almost that too....or they brought the car just for the seats

ok - No more looms - thank you pls parts have been ordered & hoping to have progress in next few weeks i will update as soon as i get any from the maker

quick update 9 out of 10 deposits received & loom maker is ordering the parts for all 10 hopefully, work commitments the only caveat, he is aiming to have them ready by end of Nov 🙂

afternoon all 2 new requests this have been received but still nothing from the outstanding 3 i will give it till friday & then close this buy off & get it moving the maker is primed ready to order the connectors, he has most of the other parts already, once he has received all of the deposits. i will mail him after this post to let him know the latest thanks to all for patience, i understand getting these group buys to a point of go ahead can take some time just to let everyone know that the maker only covers his costs & a little time & as for myself, i just do it to help fellow owners out to see in the dark really lol

received, replied & added to the list sir

ok everyone update time still no replies from the 3 outstanding, i will give them 1 more chance & then im going to shit the group buy & will be proceeding as per last group buy a deposit will secure your loom & then once ready the balance will be asked for total price is £90 posted with a £35 deposit i will leave it a few days for people to see this post & then drop PM's out to everyone 🙂

hello again ok, ive spoken to the maker - he is in Dubai working for the next couple of weeks & is happy to crack on with the looms once back could everyone who has stated their interest pls send me a PM with your name, address, personal email & phone number this will make it much easier for me to track responses & keep things moving once ive had a PM i will email from my personal account 🙂 i will check back in a few days & if not many replies to this post i will send out messages on here thanks all

hi all - apologies for this going quiet. life is very hectic & a change of job means im not on my laptop all day any longer i am trying to be more active on here though i have emailed the maker again today, i will update once i have a reply i have also checked the OE connector supplier & dont think they have a minimum quantity order - ive sent the link to the maker also, i have updated the list with the 2 below, which puts us a 12 looms requested monkeyman joehunter Pls do let me know if anyone wants adding or removing

i think MB Trim in Redditch would be able to help but you may be a distance away FYI i have used them several times & Bernard who runs it is very helpful & skilled

happy to report that after 14 months the VR6 is finally back home with essentially a brand new underside & nut & bolt restoration plus the Autostrada Modena's are on & looking mighty fine if i do say so myself lol pity you cant see any of the work that has just cost me a small fortune (over double what i had guessed at) but the first few journeys out have made me realise quite how much i had missed this car! the ride is sublime & the refreshed KW's feel great & the noise - nothing quite like it spent most of the weekend cleaning & resinstalling the interior, only sub & door cards left a quick pic from a gloomy drive today
