Our Cars (dream or actual)
-
@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 -
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

Well…....? Whats it got -

Well…....? Whats it got4 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) -
@natehate That car is something else…love it

Need something more reliable than the Citroen?
-
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...
-
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..
love the TTS @FOXY …in about 1.5years from now, when i'm able to drive again, i'm gonna get me a nice clean ride with a nice sound and enough hp!
i thought you could.. and didnt you get the e90 320d the other time?

@louisbosco I took a look at a TT in the local Audi dealer, and snapped a few shots of the dash for you.
I think that it's a cool development, but it already feels dated compared to my (Android) phone.
But the most interesting car in the showroom was the Auto Union Type C.
