To seal the tunnel up Mark is going to make me a billet part to accept the gaitor, I bought this from a TT and I will add in one of the little LED rings under the shiny bit to come on with the lights, I have this in my TT and I can use it plus some tiny leds under the dash instead of an interior light.

The bottom plastic bit will go but it may help with the fabrication

The shiny ring will be stripped back and anodised satin black like the dash etc.

Any news on when you will be. Picking the shell up toby

Caddyshack

What work is left to be done?

Providing you are still getting updates and work is still happening at least its moving in the right direction, there is only so many things on the list to be done.

Like the idea of the TT gear stick mate.

Caddyshack

thanks, I wanted a good seal and once I have anodised or painted it black it should work well.

Caddyshack

More panel work, exhaust, hard pipes, fit fuel tank, steering column, front cross member and finish off the welding.

visa_broke

Thats not the longest list i've ever heard of for a project car (my 944's probably longer)

Keep track of it and crossing stuff off so at least its still heading in the right direction, if nothing is done in a while get on his case.

They've all got you by the bollox me included just get on with other things but one thing I did make sure of I sat him down and nailed him down on prices for everything so no nasty surprises

I should be having a good look round your car tomorrow Toby as you well no I'm going to see MK tomorrow so I will let you no wot I think

Caddyshack

Cool, give him a kick up the arse from me please

visa_broke

And one from me as well please, I want to see toby finish this and be back working on his 944

Caddyshack

I am hoping to get the TT off the ramps this weekend as only have 1 gasket on the turbo to change as it had a weep and then 944 goes back on and I will get it finished.

😂 I will 😂

Caddyshack

Tt is running but still has a small oil leak on the turbo so more investigations needed

visa_broke

Mine's taken a bit of a back seat currently, I bought a audi coupe to go with it

Caddyshack

Ha, is the Audi coupe a donor?

visa_broke

I already have a 5 pot lump for the 944, the coupe I am leaning towards swapping out the 7a engine (they sound great but a bit slow off the line) so if I swap the 7a out for a v8 then that engine becomes a spare for the 944.

unless..... I put the v6 twin turbo s4 engine I have in the coupe, I already have the engine and manifolds to convert it to big single turbo

too many projects but I wanted to pick up one of these while it was offered as with most classics the only way the price is going is one way.

Gutted I've sold my TT and bought a new A3 TFSI ..kinda miss it now .

Caddyshack

It was your one that re-interested me in it.

I have just done loads to it: 3.2 V6 front bumper with lower splitter, tan leather dash to match the baseball seats. Haldex 4wd controller so I can make it more rear biased, large nav screen with reverse camera, all new subframe and pre-recall bushes to sharpen the steering, replaced the engine and new clutch and flywheel, new lights, TT cupholder, new bootlid with V6 spoiler and then Boxster brakes.

Sounds amazing Toby. Also sounds like the most expensive TT out there. Perfect timing with this weather too

Caddyshack

Yeah, it ain’t worth what I paid for it plus what I have spent but we all now about that mate don’t we? I know they are not the most loved cars but out of my 6 it is probably number 2 and we know I ain’t got number 1 right now.

Caddyshack

My mates wife’s engine let go so he needed another car, he came and got the 205 gti, he had an interview at one of England’s top private schools for his daughter and he said that amongst the Bentleys and Ferrari’s he got the most attention.

Any updates on the shell Toby ??

Caddyshack

Hi Ian, Mark is away at the moment but he promises me it will be done by Aug this yr. If we miss that deadline then I will go and get it.

TT had just gone off to a TT expert to finish the last bits for me, it was nice to have a guy pick it up at 7pm and then at 9 a.m. the next day the TT expert was messaging me with what he had done already and the car had to get from Surrey to Daventry in that time.

Thats what you call proper service , glad to see there are still people out there that pride themselves on the work .
lol he's not using iam on holiday excuse is he , if that was me I wouldn't have a holiday just out of embrassment let alone that fact its took ages. I really feel for you mate I do .
really looking forward to the build when it returns home and good luck with the project

cheers paul

Dose make me laugh how people turn this thread into a non stop slate the man working on it. It’s well known he is a motorbike man and the tt bsb and things like that are unfortunately a priority with him. Toby isn’t stupid he obviously has contact with mark and is happy to wait so he gets the job done as he wants by the person he has chosen and has imagined it turning out. I’m sure he could find any old joey that will have done it in 2 weeks.

zetaboostboy522bhp

Working lol , and I never said Toby was stupid and I hope it's everything he wants it to be .
as I said I can't wait for the build to begin

cheers paul

ajamesc

It’s an in general comment not just aimed at yourself. I’m sure the end result will be stunning which unfortunately doesn’t ever happen quickly especially if it’s a small company. And to be fair if your business is largely bike orientated showing your face at events like the tt is going to be pretty normal

Caddyshack

I will get there in the end, one way or another.

smiley

I'm in the same boat they all take years lol I was ready to pull the trigger and buy my bottom end and crank last month then work on shell got put back so I'm waiting not spending anymore until I see definite progress it is frustrating takes the excitement away propper rollercoaster of emotions building these thier are other cars I've always wanted and nearly got tempted with a very nice evo 9 last week lol must resist but how long can you

ajamesc

I’m in the same boat as well lol it is what it is. At the end I know I’ll get what I want and as it’s a hobby car I car live with it as I still have my bikes too play with

smiley

I know mate I,ll be buzzing for it again as soon as somethings done

Adam-M

Any updates?
