Hey people.
I will start from the begining. I found this nice looking mk1 for sale in january last year local to me.

It had a mk2 golf 1.8 driver engine fitted but had electric gremlins.
i swapped that out for a mk2 golf GTI engine i had laying about and smartened it up a bit and drove it round for the summer whilst on the look out for a nice donor TT

the paintwork looked like it had been rattle canned and wasnt keyed in properly on the edges so was flaking, id just sorted the paintwork when i found the perfect donor

Time for the long process of stripping both cars. Obviously the correct way to do it would be to label and categorise every part, nut and bolt.
aint nobody got time for that.





Cars stripped back, now i had to wait for the plasma cutter to come back from repair

Plasma cutter came back last week so had a few hour trimming the audi down.
next job is to cut the floor out the golf so i can see what else needs trimming to fit.

Well for the last 2 days there has been a car in pieces on the ramp where the plug is for the plasma cutter wich is an inconvenience ðŸ~
so ive just stripped all the ancilliaries off the audi engine and removed the transfer box now that my extra extra long 6mm socket arrived.

Thought whilst its out might aswell as give it an over haul and fit some forged rods for future plans.
