Here at G-werks, in our experience, when an opportunity arises, it’s best to take it.
This opportunity came in the form of an Audi which, lets just say, has had an interesting life.
Having recently been asked to help build Fast Car’s latest flagship project vehicle, a Murdered Out* Nissan 350Z, we’ve been truly bitten by the 187** bug. However, with so many customer cars booked in and a couple of our own project cars still very much ‘work in progress’, there was no plan to build our own Murdered Out ride.
So, when this A6 Quattro came up for sale at a price we couldn’t refuse, it seemed like the perfect car to get the full-on Murdered treatment. With just over one week to go before this year’s VW Players Show, the build, as always seems to be the case, was gonna be super-tight.
Friday saw a hectic parts gathering mission with Richard at KW Automotive UK kindly sourcing a rare Weitec coilover kit from Germany, Greg Howell coming up trumps with a set of baller-sized wheels, and the car was booked in at The Stig’s paint shop for a super-tough new hue.
So this is where we’re at now.
Tomorrow we’ll be a lot further and by this Sunday coming there’s gonna be a serious crime scene at VW Players.
PICS NOW UPDATED!!
*When a car packs both black paint and black aftermarket wheels. The window tints need to be really dark and other parts like black headlights, taillights and number plates should work together in blacking out the ride.
**The numeric code for the crime of murder. It is primarily used by law enforcement officials in the U.S. state of California. Commonly pronounced by reading the digits separately as ‘one-eight-seven’. The number 187 is now in common use by many gangs throughout the United States as a synonym for murder.
