Hi David, I have probably one of the last of the original 64 Eurospec kits.
Our 90 Carat is in Mesa, Arizona. The engine is in and with a little luck
we will bring her back home in Altadena, CA (NEAR THE ROSE BOWL). This
whole process has taken about 4-5 months, NO THANKS TO EUROSPEC! When we
first read about the Eurospec conversion we thought that Eurospec would
stand behind there kits with support if needed. The truth is they are out
of it. After many conversations with the current manager, it is clear they
don't want anything to do with anyone who has one of their kits. It does
not matter that the kit was missing various parts and that some of the
parts were faulty! As a matter of fact, in my original conversations with
Eurospec, they never informed me that they were getting out of the business.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH HERE? DID MR.DAVID MEEKS LEAVE ON BAD TERMS? DID HE TAKE
ALL THE PARTS WITH HIM? DID EUROSPEC NOT PAY HIM? Mr. Meeks was the brains
of the 2.0 GTI conversion. My poor mechanic, he has had to modify the
linkage (because it is an automatic) as well as many other finish parts. I
have spoken to many other top mechanics in Northern California, and when
you mention Eurospec, they say, oh ya! lots of trouble with that one! She
runs just great , eventually!! Boy, I would love to talk to Mr. Meeks. I
know my mechanic does! Believe me David, when this is finally over and my
wife (Deborah) gets her baby back, I intend to pursue my own small claims
action as well as a possible class action suite! I will send letters as
well as get a hold of the Governing bodies who watch over these companys.
IT IS NOT THE MONEY! IT IS THE PRINCIPLE! I am a Contractor and I must
stand by my product. Eurospec should do the same!    Thanks, STEVE
