After many months of researching I finally found the one I wanted, then the seller sold it the night before I agreed to pick it up >:(

No probs because I was then able to find one even better on the day I was about to pick up the other. I found one of those rare Kingfisher Blue (225) TT's with white interior. I just had to have it so I went to see it and then bough it on the same day. I love this car! I've had a childhood crush on TTs ever since they were released.

Purchased my TT Mk1 on 19-1-2014.

Thanks! These pictures were actually from the last owner.

The wheels look good here but they are actually all kerb'd and some even corroded.

I'm putting off refurbing them till I get used to parking and save some munnies up for that.

I think the clutch will need replacing soon so I'm saving my pennies for that.

There's also a couple stone chips up front that need taking care of.

I'm putting off doing anything yet till I know its mechanical condition. I've booked it in for a healthcheck on 15th Feb so I'm praying it comes through with not much needing done.

Is it weird daydreaming about driving it whilst at work or are others like that to?

1st Mod/Repair - Rear No.Plate Lights
As the left side was just hanging off, I had to get a whole new fitting which was just over £10 from ebay including the bulb. I decided to go for the led look while I was at it. I’m all for keeping things au naturel and original but these old bulbs had to go. Led on the left, old bulb on the right.
