Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

Good news! At least you can be happy that Tig stays whole for a quite some time Congrats to you and the new owner! So have you finalized the next move ?

Yes car stays complete and the new owner gets a real bargain.

Finalised the deal on the next car today also. Staying AWD but going NA and sedan. Picking it up in about 2 months.

I'll still be around though probably not quite as active. Will be keen to see what happens with the MQB platform Tig. Probably by the time the cars arrive here I'll be almost ready for a new set of wheels anyway!

Only the 2.5i in base model spec. I have to pay off my "other" summer project.

Ramee I'm not doing a MCM on this one - it's going to stay stock.... apart from a couple of cosmetic enhancements maybe.

Good plan! Anyway congrats on new car! It looks good and quite comfortable I think but I am not quite sure about the handling department, last time when I drove one felt like a boat may be you can do something about that!

Totally un-car related though some of you may appreciate it, here's a photo summary of my last 2 months backyard/DIY "project".

Yeah pretty much finished playing with the Tig and had to find something else to do. The only thing I didn't do was dig out the hole. There were 4.5 semi tipper loads of dirt taken out of the back yard. Still got some paving and tidy up the rest of the yard but kids are swimming and the wife is (mostly) happy. Well off my back for a bit at least....

Oh and if anyone else is considering that it might be a good idea to DIY a pool in your back yard my recommendation is don't - just go and pay someone to do it for you!!!!
