Best post on this forum in years. You are mad, mad!!!

It looks so clean and well done too. Bravo. Now fit a rollcage, big turbo, tiguan springs, oversized mud flaps and steelies and enter it in the WRC next year

Some updates, I've got the white car completely stripped and the blue car has the 2.5 dash, wiring, engine/trans, and front suspension back in. I'm concentrating on getting the blue car done first and off to it's new owner. It should be done early next week. So far, I've got about 40 hours into this.

Here's a bunch of pics...

2.0 back out

2.5 back in

Engine bay cleaned up nicely

New prop shaft carrier brackets mocked up waiting for welding

Interior all stripped out

Shell all ready to go

Keeping everything bagged and organized

ABS and fuse box connectors de-pinned

2.5 dash and wiring

Huge pile of parts

2 questions. Are you a mechanic? And how do you have so much free time?

I haven't posted in a while, but today I finished the white car and drove it for the first time. For those interested in how much time it took, I'm at around 90 hours total to take both cars apart and put them back together.
I think a gti front bumper and fenders is next at some point this year.

Some more progress pics...

Wiring going back in

My "custom" shifter cable bracket

2.0 going back in

Tank bracket welded in and extra pump hole cut out

Back in the garage to wrap things up

De-badged and re-badged

Installing oem rear view camera

First drive today in the rain

Man, makes me want to get a wagon! Looks amazing!!!

 

[zrickety]

Amazing. 90 hours to swap both cars is impressive, I suppose it's easier the second time round! Keep the wagon front...super sleeper!!!

My car is for sale if anyone is interested.
