With the weekends heat wave putting a damper on doing insulation in the attic it seemed like the best thing would be to catch up with some organizing in the garage being that it tends to stay a nice cool 68-70°F during the summer. Saturday morning a fellow track junkie and TT owner stopped by to pick through some of my spare parts and so I could help him make up some fuel lines.
It is rare that you see a green TT with 200k miles and in such great condition, guess it is what you get when you work on restoring British cars for a living.
Out with the old and in with the new Fragola hose.
Not exactly stock with a big T4 series turbo and built motor
With that done and him heading out, I dug this old metal tool box out of storage to get it cleaned up to use as a hardware drawer. Being that I was still living for many things out of boxes from the move last year, trying to find hardware in any sort of timely manner was not working out well. The weekend proved to be mostly sorting hardware and putting parts/books/tools away.
Cleaned up and painted it does the job well, now just have to make up some labels.
All this hardware was in boxes and boxes prior to finding the new home in the hardware section.
So nice to move out of boxes
Last thing was to wrap up the GT2 wing install now that I could find hardware, just waiting on the new fan shroud to show up and to install the brake light.
Talk about blocking the rear visibility even without the gurney flap!
