      Well I guess it's a little bit cooler than our Nissan….. slightly  😃

      Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

        @mahlon321 its a mostly fiberglass car
        glass tub, hood, grill shell
        real doors oddly enough and hood side panels (so weird)
        theres a lot of undoing other peoples work to be done
        i want it to run it no fenders
        and some brainiac decided to fiber glass the fenders right to the body and make it smooth
        so that could be a nightmare
        the tail lights have to go and the big holes they will leave need to be glassed in
        the steering set up is umm interesting
        so thats gonna need attention
        the interior isn't to bad
        i actually kinda like it, minus the purple rope in the windows

        don't you know there ain't no devil? only god when he's drunk!

          Well @natehate at least the main bit is solid and straight. (hopefully)
          It's so strange that of all the things that are still metal, it's the doors. I'd have figured they'd be anything but metal  😉
          and fenderless is just rad. too bad you're gonna have to go digging and cutting to get them off!
          I kinda like digging through the timeline of other peoples projects, always good for a laugh or a face palm 🙂
          good luck man!

            the biggest what the fuck on this car is the engine and trans combo  😞

                4 cylinder pinto… with a cam
                hahaha
                but it's mated to a c4 auto trans
                so a sbf should be a fairly easy swap (but painful for a chevy/mopar guy)

                      probably 302
                      mild cam, minor head work, high rise dual carb for the looks
                      im looking for more bark than bite when i build the engine
                      very drivable is the goal

                                that's the 2015 tt right? do you have pictures of the dashboard. i've seen someone drive it and the dash looks beautiful, with the maps integrated and everything digital.

                                  Yeah, she was sooo pissed about the Citroën the other day (hydraulic liquid leaking), that she drove it back to the workshop and asked them to sell it.

                                  I convinced her to rent a brand new TT (produced late last year, registered this April) for this trip in order for her to make up her mind if she really wants one as her "real" car…
                                  I fear she wants the TTS instead!

                                  Will take some detail pictures over the next few days...

                                      My brother picked up a Chevrolet truck for about $2000 a few weeks ago. It needs a bit of work…

                                      He call's it Odin's Pickup. Why? Well…

                                      It's a smallblock Chevy engine, with a 750 cu ft/min carburettor and Edelbrock headers. It's quite quick, and very, very noisy.

                                            the dial is absolutely beautiful. well the tt has been redesigned recently iirc. still holds the same shape but with a much better driving aesthetics. not a car i'd like but a nice car nonetheless. thanks for the photos. absolutely love that dash..
