excellent. have you tried going to a hobby shop and asking to see if they could order you that t2 body? you could always get in contact with associated and find out what dealers they deal with near your area.

Yes I asked some official AE dealers and get the same answer from all: out of stock, no longer produced...

I could order one on rc10.com...but $45 shipping costs? No, thanks...

The only place I've seen the T2 bodies is through Team Associated. I had them shipped to Australia.

Read my complaint here about Team Associateds shipping chart, $70 to post one body. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=30966

I ended up ordering five T2 bodies and the postage was much less for all of them then was listed for one.

I'd suggest contacting them.

I've made some progress today....

Unfortunately I noticed that screws heads look out of place, hanging down on the chassis...

Now I have to wait for the last spare parts. I got from liquid rc still no shipping confirmation :-/

I used a lot of new parts because I decided to use the old one for a second T2 project.

New diff case, new towers, new suspension mounts...take a look :)

these are the parts you powder coated right? that could be why your screws are hanging. try using a countersink bit to remove some of that powder coat. that should make your screws more flush with your chassis. i had the same problem with all the screws on my t2 tub too.
