About 3 weeks ago my TT got vandalized to the point of it being a total loss at the parking deck here at college. I have since trailered it home, cleaned out all the glass, and started working on it some. This past saturday, I put down a deposit on a nice pearl white TT with a spark issue and possible damaged transmission. Same night at about 10pm, I started working on my old TT. Got the transmission, exhaust, and all that of, and got all of the inlet hoses and heater hoses removed. Took me about 4 hours to do that...I was actually kind of disappointed it took me that long. Spent way too long getting one of the top tranny bolts out...going to have to do some research on the best way to do that for next time. Anyways here are some pics of whats going on, first are the cars I'm sharing the garage with: 
Pics of the new goodies I bought to make the project a little easier: 
Pics of the damage/progress: 
What I'm getting from insurance is somewhat low, but after I finish parting out the stuff I dont need from the 2 Z's, I will have more than enough to do another turbo upgrade, manis, 2.5" piping, labree cat-back, dual intake, jspec front/tails, and a bunch of other goodies. Probably going to go for gt28rs' for turbos, and one of the new cast manifolds. Should be fun, this summer is going to be busy as hell for me though. I should be posting an update next weekend with pics of the new Z and getting the engine out of the old one.
