Holden1989 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Mods please feel free to move this to the project section And so it began well over a year ago, my partners TT has undergone so serious changes over the last year or two To bring you up to date on the progress it has undergone engine wise here is a previous thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=195086 Last month the car was dropped off at Knightracer in Northampton to have some 'blemishes' smoothed out, Il let the pictures do the talking............ These were taken on the day the car was dropped off, the car was hugley bodged by the previous owner, but it is having some big-time TLC now Front arches Bent Fenders due to shabby workmanship at the previous bodyshop... Bootlid, not sprayed...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Inside the doors - nice Arches... A crack in the rear arches due to the width of the wheels and suspension... And some rather amusing pictures of the 'half job on the sideskirts The engine bay, again not painted with the correct paint or prepped so it started to flake....... And hopefully the petrol cap will be fixed, it likes to open itself......... And a final farewell to what it once was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 So, as this is a project thread, Things To Do - 1)Get car back from bodyshop in full TRD kit resprayed in HOK Candy Apple Red 2)New induction kit 3)Front Seats changed to some form of Recaros and retrimmed in black leather with red stitching 4)Full wheel refurb hopefully by Ibrar And i think thats enough time/money to be getting on with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Christ that was some shoddy workmanship, did the last owner do it himself? agree - thats really bad workmanship - a lesson for the future - always buy a car from a club member or a trusted person, atleast that way one shouldnt end up with a lemon like this. Hope this time round you end up with a decent finish. imi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
