  • Floor Pan Swap - haldex to come...

    A while back I bought a donor TT for an eventual Haldex swap... was planning to build a garage first but one thing led to another & I've ended up with a stripped down shell in my yard... just kind of sitting there... Late fall is a good time to start a project like this outside right

    Couple shots of the TT...

        DAY THREE

        Got the seam sealer off the outside of both wheel wells along the frame rail / wheel well joint...


        Heat gun on my knee while slowly prying the skirts off with a chisel & free hand worked really well...


        Got most of the seam sealer out in the trunk area as well - pretty tedious but I'm trying to keep the GLI pan in good health so parts of it can be used to extend the TT pan...

            DAY FOUR

            Didn't get a lot done tonight but scraped some more seam sealer off and drilled spot-welds until my battery died...








            Need the seat brackets from the GLI as the back seat in the TT is different...

              Cool - thanks. This is my only car so I plan to keep a pretty steady pace but definitely don't want to rush it and just slap things together either...

                  Nice work. I would likely keep my GLI forever if it had AWD.
