Heres the TT stuff i bought, it has less then 30k on it.

So then i started drilling out all the spot welds that where holding the floor board. Man was it a pain in the butt, I say it took me a good 10 hours and prob 15 hours to remove all the stuff i didn't need.. Heres the pics to that

With everything removed like
-gas tank
-whole rear beam
-disconnect the brake lines and e-brake cables and put them under the car

drilled out and removed the rear seat bracket

inside pic

started with the wheel well floor

wheel well removed, man was it a pain. The corner piece was the worst i almost gave up a few times lol

rear seat floor removed, It was a pain too lol

over view of it, ignore the foam. I used the foam a while ago to make it quiter in the cabin

side rails removed. I wish i had a lift, now my back hurts soo bad

Still got to remove the wheel well's cause it will be easier if i use the R32 ones

Another pic of the side rail, where they were.....

Some more pics of some new pieces for the swap. Thanks to orangea2vr6 he drove from Maryland to drop off the R32 backhalf and gas tank thanks man

still got to drill and cut a little to get it all ready

R32 tank

Excellent progress.

thats some great progress there

what are you going to do about controling the haldex?

Im guessing there should be a way to make it work just like it does in TT, because this car has all the same sensors that for example TT/R32 has so you would have all the necessery inputs the haldex ECU requires.
Or will you just be running one of the standalone controlers?

haha i know, its a crime to post about something like this without pics

2 weeks is still impressive for something like this especially since its your first time. I remember talking to my friend's dad (he does body work) and he said he doesn't want to do it.
