Right this is the build for my car. I have had it for just over half a year now and in that time have done rather allot to it.

 

So I will start with how it started and what I have done to the present day, then i will keep it up to date.

 

I bought the car from devon for 5k, it is a L-reg N/A 5speed with 30,000 miles on the clock, and from the second I got into it I loved it, and the 200 mile drive back to the isle of wight just made me love it even more.

 

So enough chit chat, time for some pics of the the add and the day I bought it.

The first thing I decided to do to the car was splash out and buy some nice audio for it,

 

So I went down to my local ICE shop and purchased 4 Pioneer TS-E1702i speakers and a Pioneer double DIN AVH-P4200DVD head unit, along with the rear input ipod lead, to be installed into the centre console.:D

 

Fitting of the head unit turned out to be fun to install as someone at some stage had already installed a double DIN head unit and had chopped all the wires in the rear so that took a little while to sort out but got it done after a little bit of sweat and swearing.:taped:

 

oh and I followed the guide on here for the speaker brackets and they turned out great! big thanks to the creator of the template :)

Next job I wanted to do was to get myself a nice set of leather front seats and after a search I found a nice set of oem's in great condition so picked them up a japfest finale and got to fitting the next day.

They turned out really nice, gives the interior a much more expensive feel to it! really happy with them although I have marked the drivers side seat slightly which was rather annoying, but i'm just being picky as they still look good :D

Hold on, you bought a NA for 5k and plan to turn it into a TT6?? You could have saved yourself a lot of money by getting a TT6 to start out with.

 

I know people will say its only done 30k, but I am sure a huge percentage of import cars are clocked anyway because they all look like brand new when they arrive here due to the climate being better over there. Plus you are swapping the engine out, so will only benifit from the low milage with a none rusty chasis.....which you get on any fresh import.

 

It looks very nice, but it is a very expensive way to a TT6

Maybe its a silly question but why did you take the seat backs of to remove and install them :search:

 

Guess it made it easier to remove / put in.

Less chance of knocking something when taking them out - always hate getting the runner section out past the sill :scare:

yeah I no it seem stupid in my head it does to me to, but i could only seem to get insured on an N/A as i was only 20 when i bought it, and now I have fallen in love with her to the point that I can not bear to sell it and buy another one. plus the idea of looking at the end result and me being able to say I built that really appeals to me. :p

 

i no it seem a bit of a sin ripping out the perfect engine but atleast someone will get a good engine one day lol :)

Now I promised myself that I would NOT start any work to the engine (looks wise)....

 

but unfortunately I have given in and I started making the NA engine look a little better (in my eyes)

 

I firstly bought a replacement rad cap, due to my last one giving up, then it spiralled and went on to buy some more chrome and gave the spark covers to my dad to be painted.

 

On the day I had the covers off, I had a go at polishing the rocker and as a first attempt I was very happy with the out come. Before and After pictures bellow :)
