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.

Looks really nice mate :clap:

excellent work tom! i hope your happy with it buddy.

Cheers guys, I'm very happy with her, still got a few niggles to sort out but suppose that's normal for a zed. One more pic.....

Z is looking great Tom and that is the skyline I should be seeing this morning if I was on the Belfast/Liverpool ferry going to JAE,:sad:

Lol. It was 8:30 in the morning Bri so think they're all still in bed down there.

Thought I would revive my build thread as the zed is currently at Lee Dents getting a bit more work done. She's there for new gearbox & competition clutch. Z1 FUCA's. Series 2 ptu. O2 sensors & a few other bits. Lee also found a fuel leak which would explain the fuel smell when driving with the window open.

The gearbox seemed a bit clunky when changing gear, I thought the XTD clutch was on the way out but turns out it was the gearbox at fault as there was a lot of metal in the fluid. Luckily I had already bought a spare manual box. XTD clutch was fine but replacing that anyway.

The old FUCA's looked homemade & were also bent. The new ones should make a big difference.

She's come a long way since I started this thread.

What the hell are they meant to be, Tom??

Having seen this Z close up I can say its a stunner :thumbup:

They're hideous & didn't do my back much good. Ghetto upper arms Lee said, lol.

Good pic Gaz.

Got my private plate on now too

I can't believe you were driving around on those arms they look sketchy beyond belief.

I know. Lee told me they needed changing but I didn't realise how bad they were.

Its looking great Tom... Looks really good in the flesh too!

Hopefully I'll be picking the zed up from Lee tomorrow, as long as I don't get stuck in work. The clutch & gearbox have been replaced, new horn, FUCA's, tension arms, lambdas, series 2 ptu, rough idle sorted, service, rear brake light fixed, some missing interior trim fitted plus a load of other stuff I've missed.

Good stuff Tom... Say hi to Lee!

& the finishing touch
