OMG your number plate!! (the black car)Noticed its very similar to mine...

The spec looks good mate, noticed your in yorkshire so you will have to take me for a ride once its done :-)

 

Ha ha, yeah, very similar, the plate is now sat on a Toyota Landcruiser, not quite as fitting really:D

 

Also, yeah I'm over Harrogate way but more than welcome to give you a ride out in it once done :)

 

Just read all through this thread Marc, lovely car you have there, I might have missed it, but have you re-painted her the original RSP colour yet or is that still on the to do list?

 

Hopefully getting it sprayed over winter back to RSP once all the work is done as the paint may get some scratches in it whilst I'm pottering away on it.

You will notice there is a lot of stuff from the donor car there, it's because I wanted it as close as it could possibly be to having a factory TT6 Facelift Aerotop, so it had pretty much a full shell swap with my (undamaged) facelift hardtop TT6, the only things that haven't been changed from the TT6 are the carpets, headlining and bodypanels :D, which makes life a lot easier when working on it as everything is as it should be on a TT :).
