Nothing really. I have busy the past couple weeks with my 944 and doing home upgrades.

I did buy a carbon hood. It will make it easier to extend and widen. I also am selling the airride, motor, and quattro system. The bags are pulled and sold, the motor is coming out today, and the awd as soon as possible after that.

I will be building this into a tube chassis car, with a mid mounted Audi 4.2lt. The V8 will show up sometime this week.

I love this car, and am building the body exactly how I want it, so I decided I should not limit myself to simple motor swap options. I have experience with building a tube chassis. The 4.2l is capable of crazy power when turboed and sounds unbelievably amazing. I have now committed to building my 'dream' TT. If and when my parts sell, I will have made back nearly $10k. Basically the project will fund itself, for the most part.

I have to keep focused on the body though. After pulling the motor, I will pull the rear 1/4 windows. This will allow me to build the entire 1/4 panel, including the window's sill, out of carbon. I have some minor finishing work on the passenger side's flare, then they will be ready for carbon. I am going to end up making a carbon hatch as well. I would like to be able to have a full carbon tilting rear end.

I have recently seen some photos of the process used for building the rear end of a Rossion Q1, and feel that I am capable of adapting a similar technique to this build.

This is starting to look like a racecar
Great work man!

Any updates?

[mikey G]

Hey man, glad to see some updates! I love the direction your taking with the vents/ skirts. The hood following the vent of the fender on the rear side of the wheels is such a sick touch. Can't wait to see more progress.

I made it myself. It's a non metallic. Thank you.

[indy510]

Finally sprayed it yesterday.

What color is this?? .. is it a stock color? .. does it have any metallic in it? ... nice work on everything!!!

I also had a little fun with the 3dtuning app. I took the app's version I created, then used my note 4 to draw some front end changes. The hood had been extended, bumper changed under the headlights, and the lower portion of the bumper was reworked. Just figured I'd share.

I had to cut my brand new bumper...

The alignment is wildly off



The beginning to the solution.



The light/fender gap will stay.





And a shot of the alignment.




Now the entire driver's side, other than hood had been roughed in. I need to get the passenger side to the same point soon. Once it has been modified, I will start finishing off the details of each portion of the car.

Modified side skirt progress.












This is only a rough version tacked in place. The skirt will be removable just as the factory skirt was.

It's been a while since I touched this thing. I bought a 944, and was consumed with a suspension upgrade.

I started back on this thing on the 1st. My new year resolution is to "finish" it during the year.





Cut the fender in the jamb.





The hood isn't closed...



How the hood will end up lining back up. This is only a piece of poster board, for an idea of how it should look.
