So this weekend, I discovered a new job I hate doing on cars.
Removing sound deadening. Thankfully a heat gun and scraper has been enough to get this removed
So as can be safely assumed from the above photo, I have been stripping the interior of the car ready for a cage to go in.
Nothing too much to write home about on this one but I do think it is the most boring / tedious job I’ve ever done on a car.
Didn’t take too many photos along the way, as it’s relatively straight forward and if I’m being honest I had music on and completely zoned out when working ahah. For those interested albums played were - Currents by Tame Impala, Given Em Enough Rope by the Clash and the Bends by Radiohead; among a mix of random playlists.
Car will be cleaned further and painted with excess interior brackets removed as well.
I have also sold my old seat mounts and procured some pure direct fit floor mounts.
Also this weekend we played host to helping my mate fit lowered seat brackets on his TT Quattro Sport.
Which meant moving the Clio without a seat which was rather meme worthy.
Anyway, for those that aren’t aware the TT Quattro Sport is quite an interesting car. It’s the only TT to have a “proper RS” chassis number. They’re rare little cars and came with factory Recaro Pole Positions as a an option; with these being colour matched to exterior paint colour of the car on the backs. (On a side note you can get poles in other mk1 TTs as part of Audi special order but it is extremely rare). And as it is a VAG car the seating position is naturally quite high.
Easy job to do in fairness. Just a faf when your friend’s stressing about damaging three grands worth of seat or however much they are.
All in all good weekend and the clio is going for a cage some point this week.
