Audi TT (The Start)

We finally got our first day of work with the car!  The 2001 Audi TT is a little dirty and not the original car we intended to buy, but according the those who tested the abilities of the car, it is just as fun.  Our hope is, upon completion, to take the car to the Atlanta Motor Speedway for some testing.

Thanks to those who spent their Sunday afternoon struggling with incredibly tight bolts, whiteboards, and digging through a massive amount of screwdriver bits and never finding the right one.


Ryan wields the massive ratchet we used as our last resort to getting the back seats out.
Francesco and Borm compare hats.



Our president is always quite serious.
The formula is a reference to this comic.
Our workspace has the lights and electricity set on a timer so the place doesn't pay for power if we accidentally leave the lights on when we leave.  This becomes a problem when we are sawing or using the electric drill.
Congrats to Jonathan for snagging this rejected whiteboard from GTRI.
So many screwdrivers.
Andrew takes to relaxing on a section of the uninstalled back seat.

The owner's manual didn't give us any clues on how to take out the back seats, by far our biggest hurdle of the day.





The pictures reverse their order when I upload them, a bothersome bit I will work on when the next post comes (hopefully this Tuesday).

Move-In (Sunday)

Sunday afternoon saw the final assembly of the second worktable, the staining of both tables, the construction of a trash receptacle and a good thorough cleaning and organization of the workspace.

Here are some pictures.
