I’ve really started to get parts pulled over the last couple of weeks. I’m still waiting on the transmission jacks so I haven’t been able to drop the subframe assembly on either car. I was able to pull the full interior out of the T5.

I cleaned the headliner us the technique in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mra6ysxkTLc

I pulled the driver’s side front door to weld the the catch location where someone had torn it out.

My first welding job.

I also made progress on the engine bay.

I pulled the radiator support, radiator, and intercooler. When I pulled the lower intercooler hose, a quart and a half of oil drained out of it. I guess the previous owner wasn’t kidding when he said he was driving the car for almost a year with a dead turbo.
