TT donor car strip down

Edited 12 April, 20178 yr by sters2000

Estelle shell welded to the TT floorpan

Arches fabricated

Amazing......top work

@sters2000 {Comic Store Guy} Best use of an Audi TT ever!!:D {/end} I'm also loving the home-made IMSA wheel arches, and particularly how the rear doors still work.

Glad you like it, I have had 1 negative comment, but most people seem to be impressed !

Made a bit more progress

@sters2000 You might like to have a look in the CitiGo projects forum for the CitiGoGo project but if you want to read the entire thread, leave an evening or two free! It will give you some sort of idea where a lot of us are coming from.

 

That and the Yeti vRS (which was faster than an Arial Atom around the road course at Rockingham, and is now being rebuilt to make it even faster).

I love this!

Bit more work done on the interior

WOW what can i say 

This so cool! Please keep the updates coming.

Been fabricating some of the bespoke parts needed

@sters2000 - New seat mounts to use the TT's? and a new rear floor to make that a boot rather than an engine bay.

Fantastic job, proper sleeper in the making there. Can't wait to see it painted now...

It's the Estelle body grafted onto the full TT floor pan, had to extend the boot floor as TT"s are very short behind the rear wheels

The rear seats are golf mk4, fit quite well, I had to make new mounts for them !

@sters2000 - Looking good; Also giving me thoughts if there are still garages that do "attended service" around you you could ask one of them to check the oil for you!

The oil is fine, I had however just jetwashed all the underside and engine bay as my next job is to seam seal the car underneath where I have welded it and give it a few coats of underbody protection !
