Here is my latest TT Project . . . all completed . . . :)

A few people know that I have been working on a rear storage shelf for where my back seats used to reside. My back seats have been in my attic for over a year. The leather was getting ruined being folded down all of the time and I wanted more storage in the car. I set out to create a storage unit that looks as close to factory as I could make it, at least on a first try. I already see a few areas where I can improve upon my design and construction techiques. I will be incorporating these changes in the coming weeks.

That is what my car used to look like with the rear seats folded down.

This is what it looks like now. Follow this link for the complete pictorial of how I created and fabricated my personal Audi TT TTwo Seat Coupe!

For those that want/need to know, I don't have any final weights as I wanted to get this installed and will weigh everything on Monday when I remove it from the car. My guess now is I saved about 25 pounds over having the rear seats in the car. I didn't do this for weight savings I did this for a number of reasons.

1. I wanted/needed to protect my speaker cables.
2. I wanted to protect the Xenon self-lever that is under the rear seat behind the drivers seat.
3. I have not used the rear seats in over a year and thet have been in my attic.
4. I wanted a nice clean look back in my car.
5. STORAGE! Something this car lacks! I now have plently of storage.
