TTs Steering Wheel Fitted / Rs5 Gear Knob / and Rs5 Pedal covers fitted in 2013

 

who fitted the gearknob mate?have one at home but too scared to get it fitted!

 

Well after several months in the body shop car should be ready in 2 weeks !!! side skirts just need bonding in place new lights fitting. exhaust just needs back box hangers altering and tips cutting down and roof mod installing and then building car back up

 

Looking great!!!

 

Thanks yes it's looking good will get more pics posted when I get my camera back

 

I was at the bodyshop today looking at it. It's certainly a thing of beauty.

The guys there have done an amazing job, it's still in hundreds of pieces though...... Gulp!

 

Well no reverse camera for them to worry about and no lights to code may be ready for next weekend :cheers:

 

Looking nice can't wait to see the finished product

 

Hopefully next week at the latest should have it back there on with wiring the exhaust valves up dropped it off end off November so will be glad to get it back :cheers:

 

Gorgeous, absolutely fantastic and quite breath taking work! I don't know how I managed to miss this thread but it's been the highlight of a drab Monday morning as I count the hours to Friday afternoon. There are some truly immense cars on this forum, and unfortunately due to budgetary restrictions mine is going to be one of the ordinary ones!

 

Thanks Warren what I thought was going to be a straight forward job has turned in to a nightmare to do I bought all original panels and It turned out inner arches didn't fit they had to make new ones side skirts the fixing clips where miles out so they had to be altered and the list goes on I would not recommend this mod to anyone but saying that several months later we are nearly there :thumbsup:

 

Dare I ask; would it have been cheaper to buy an RS5? (Less 'fun' granted). I'm glad you've done it just so I can perve at the work you've had to do.

 

It probably would off been cheaper I bought the s5 brand new it's 4 year old this June and it's only done 21,000 miles if the rs5 cab would off been available then I would off bought it. So I decided to create my own it's doing around 500hp now and when Apr release there new supercharger that will be the next mod so yes it will leave a rs5 for dead now never mind when the new blower goes on and yes it's been fun I intend to use it this summer then maybe start again in winter

 

I don't think I could be that patient Tony, you must be itching to get it back. Props to you doing this.

@ warren_S5 - there are no ordinary ones - every one is a winner in my eyes as I love the body shape.

 

Thanks cuppa yes I'm itching to get it back now I don't use the car over winter so it was planned to be done when the weather was crap it has took longer than expected but I didn't foresee these problems was told it was just a case off cutting the rear arches off and welding the new ones in place just didn't turn out that way tried to contact Ben for his knowledge but can no longer get hold off him he has not replied to any off my phone calls to his mobile the next dilemma is DavidB8 was paid to code the new facelift lights his email address is no longer in use I think I have found someone else to do them for me time will tell when I call at his garage

 

Once the car is up and running The company that I bought the exhaust off which is Armytrix they have appointed Shmee150 broadcaster to do a video for YouTube to help promote there exhaust on the S5 they wanted something a little different to show what can be done if you put your mind to it :thumbsup:

 

Lovely build thread!

 

Thanks will post loads more pictures soon

Ok s5 Tony... A race... Who will get their car back earlier -- you or me? Lol. My baby has been getting wrenched on for 7 months! I am supposed to be getting it back this week...

 

I don't know about you but I will be glad to get mine back and and if Apr bring there Supercharger out it will have to wait till the back end off the year I'm not parting with it till the summer has well and truly gone

 

No doubt. I am like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting for his presents ?

 

Or even the North West....

 

Or even the north

 

Or even THE WORLD

 

Ahem, no disrespect, but I would put Cuppa's beast or Almost50's Red Dragon against yours...

 

mr mafia just as well you said car,

I was driving one of the company transits through lancashire last week....

and you know what they are like..doesnt matter how fast you are going there is always one inspecting your tailpipes..

 

and to S(ir) Tony.......(rackingman kneels in admiration and awe)

any chance you got slightly carried away or are you still trying to tell us this was always the plan?

 

Rackster there was never a plan just got carried away as usual.just thought I would try and keep up with cuppa just in case I turn up at one off these shows lol

 

Gotta be fast where I live, the wheels are liable to get nicked if your travelling less than 20mph.

 

Any closer with the new house rob or is it a bit like my car keep fobbing you off ?
