Wide bagged '01 TT

[CubbyChowder]

This is what I want to see more of. This just got gnarly, can't wait for updates!

[danielsahhhn]

lord.

Haven't been swept away with a build on SW like this for a while....and what a time for me to join the thread when you dropped the tube frame bombshell! Couldn't be more hooked on this right now!!

Best of luck mate...as everyone has concurred you do some amazing work and the new plans are amazing

[Whiskerz]

god damn you have skills and patience and vision!

Sounding like this is basically gonna be like an R8 but custom and more awesome!

[thathalfginger]

Most involved build I've seen yet on SW. Best of luck with the TT (If you can even call it a TT anymore)

Holy crap man, please excuse me while I go chop my entire car to have something like this. Love the work!

[TruTaing]

wtfffff! Holy crap this was already awesome.. :mind blown:

[Aitch]

I read "wide, bagged TT" and come in to find this:



Holy shit dude.

That was quite the plot twist...

Haha, yeah. I was bored with it, but didn't want to sell it. Now it will be crazy enough that I will never want to get rid of it!

Damn glad to see an update! Didn't realize you were gonna be building a new chassis for it. Keep up the awesome work man!

I love fabrication. This will keep me entertained for a little while, and end up a way better handling car for it.


Thanks for the words and continuing to follow along after all this time. The thread could use a title change though.

Been a while since the last update...

Gutted and sitting on a chassis table.





The bottom of the chassis.





And the beginning to the upper plane of the chassis and the engine and trans sitting in place.






I also widened the flare more. I wanted to increase the track width to 66" with a 315, so this will allow that to happen.





A comparison shot of the original widened arch and quarter, to the extra wide arch and widened quarter.



These are now 6.25" wider, per side, than the factory TT's quarter panels.

These are the new tires. 275's and 315's Nitto NT01



The 4.2l v8 didn't work out, due to the shipping company. It was replaced with a old I-5. I have everything needed for it to be a 700+ whp motor. We will see what it ends up with when that time comes.

There is a guy talking about paying a shop to widen his TT. It is sounding like he will biting my style quarters... If he ends up following through with it, just remember this is the original car, and 100% built by me.

Hey Matt, I was just browsing and noticed the "bagged wide TT" and then saw GOTG. Figured you would be on here. Build is coming out great man.

[Forty-six and 2]

Thanks for the interest! It is very motivating.

I have pulled the motor, clear the bay of everything, and am now trying to strip down the interior. It's 40% done. Then it will be on to getting setup for the first round of carbon in the rear.
