New Project x2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

We were contacted by a customer with 2 of these, requesting custom interiors in both. Just a teaser pic as we are meeting with him tomorrow to finalize the details. More info tomorrow. Cheers.

10/23/09- We met with the client today, and this guy actually has 4 SLRs, a SL 65 Black Series, and other Mercs. The pic above is of one completed by another trim shop. One of them will be rebuilt from the ground up and the other is just having the interior redone. The amazing news is that this guy wants to turn one car a month. That's doing a full rebuild from the ground up, which is incredible and very hard to do with our current manpower.

The major news which could propel our shop to new heights, is that the first car that is being rebuilt from the ground up will go on display for the Board and CEO of Mercedes-Benz in Germany.

I also left my external HD at the shop so I'll post pics on Monday from our visit.
