Default Restoring an Unloved Audi TT.....

After numerous chav-tastic owners and a few other bits and pieces, a bump and a spin there! We brought this little car for the missus....

The missus has always loved one and the time was right to buy one. Though we only had a rather small budget to play with of around £5k. For this most cars wern't the spec we wanted, too high mileage and generally quite scruffy apart from the odd one which got snapped up.

So we found one that needed a little bit TLC. Went to pick it up, and found the thing needed ALOT of TLC. Tis life, and to be fair nothing we couldn't handle. So after picking up the car 2 weeks ago, we rang up Euro Car Parts and ordered loads of bits.

So Friday was replacing all discs and pads
Saturday was spent replacing the dashboard after airbag failure
Today it's gone for it's MOT and failed on quite a few things which will hopefully be sorted soon.

Booked in next Monday for a full respray in black as the paintwork is tatty.

The car from it's GOOD side lol! Very poor shut lines, door not right, dashboard dodgy repair and paintwork that had blistered very badly. Oh and a very bad parking dink on the passenger arch....
