Thought I'd start a build thread for my TT. Not been able to do much since I bought her but she was picked up this avo & should be at Lee Dents by now for a new engine. Can't wait to get her back! She looks a bit sorry for herself at the moment. Will add more pics soon.

mine looks like this at the mo be worth it in the end and you will never go back to n/a after having the turbo

I know mate, really looking forward to driving it now. Hopefully Lee won't find anything else that needs doing.

Apart from replacing everything with a far shinier version

The Zenon bumper will be going on. Also gona smooth off the rear bumper & fit the twinz diffuser & some skirts.

Thanks Gary. & Funkysi the paint job will do for now, will need tidying up next year but she's completely solid which is the main thing.

Been at Lee's this afternoon, he's been working hard on my engine & it's looking great! Also managed to get the car on the ramp. It's looking pretty good under there, except he noticed the diff has been welded which I'm not happy with so will have to get that changed.

Looking sweet bud! Saw the engine when I was ripping stuff off mine and it's looking super clean. His attention to detail is top notch!

You're right there mate, even the stuff you'll never see is cleaned & painted. Glad he's got OCD!

Lee just sent me a picture of my extremely clean plenum. Looks like a brand new engine. Nice work mate!

Hopefully won't be too long mate. Going on a road trip tomorrow to see Baz & picking a few parts up. Getting my new wheels on route.

Wow:thumbup1:

Good stuff Tom :thumbup1:

Just got back from seeing Baz in Lincoln, big thanks again mate for the free diff! Bit of a drive to get it but well worth it, very nice 99 spec zed you've got there aswel mate. Also picked up my bargain alloys, 4 uk spec powder coated alloys & tyres, which will do until I can afford to get my split rims refurbished. Pics tomorrow.

No worries mate, good to see you again. And looking forward to seeing your new temporary wheels fitted, they were a bargain :)

Quick pic from today, front end being put back together as there were a few bits missing.

you going to be working on in friday? hopefully i will be around and you can give me a tour and a talk on your plans!
