Hey guys,
The story all starts as a few years ago i was looking for a project car and boy did i get one. I picked this 1990 TT 2 seater for cheap money, but at least it had a stock ecu and 95k miles. Well the picture will tell more of the story than i can.
These are the pictures of when i first got the car towed home.

The worst part i think would definitively have to be the rust work on the rocker panels. Luckily i had the help of a friend that restores muscle car and world war II trucks, to do/teach me the metal work on the car.
Both Sides were done

At the point that all the metal work was done i brought the car back home and started on the interior work and mechanical. The whole interior was swapped to a black interior because the genius in these cars past life fabric painter all of the red interior. At this point also but new timing belt, etc, new wiring harness, deleted all vacuum line and stared over with the diagram from TT.net. These car was my first motor pull, rear end swap, many firsts but i'll get to the pictures

More things that i can't remember at the moment
The car is at the body shop for paint and then will be getting a custom tune after the paint. Switching over to a JDM front bumper aswell. But over all a great experience, I started this car when i was 19, and now i'm out of college with a job in the field and look back and i think i did pretty good doing all the work myself except for the body. And im happy i could save this car and enjoy it.
