Riley

Does anybody know what these are for? Theres a plastic block behind the center console, its clipped onto the floor via a metal clamp and it has about 3/4 wires plugged into it... Anyone know what they are? Cheers,Neil. :)

Cheers mate, surely the mods will allow some scans for someone in need of massive help? :( Tested for voltage at the lambda heater wiring...14 volts, and the earth does indeed run to earth although it shows 0.005 volts on the meter. Sounds about right id think? Would ABSOLUTELY LOVE! :( to find the culprit in time for V.A.G 2008 on 20th april... Please help! Neil.

Cool Joe 8) Sorry missed your call yesterday mate, had to leave my phone on charge... Chargers painted.The whole car,engine bay is filthy yet... And the front end is refitted. The plate definately needs some tweaking at some stage. What cossie intercooler though? :tongue:

Cheers guys :D May redo it yet, and use a glue gun instead of the crappy black silicone 2 More modifications to go but may not get around to doing them for a while... Neil.

Bumpers painted! The bumper bolts/indicator screws etc have had a good soak in tesco's finest vinegar :lol: The new number plate...sort of :? :lol: And fitted in the bumper... Also roughly masked up the charger ready for some black plastikote.

Wired up the slimline fans more permanently and integrated my custom side lit indicater wiring into the loom properly. Then recovered the full front looms in original v.a.g cloth tape, damn good stuff. After these pics i rerouted it all and tied it in place with the original straps... The whole car is filthy and covered in concrete dust :( Wasn't happy with the bullet connectors on the new fan wiring, so i spliced in a nice oem connector from a passat.

Its finished and back on the mean streets of Nelson 8) Neil.

Spot on cheers mate, that confirms my thoughts... :) Neil.

ok,im not with the car and documents but i need to confirm that the non metallic black is lo41? And also that its just known as black, not shwartz black or anything.

:lol: Cheers mate! I never got chance to get the last two tins on there unfortunately :( They were the ones i would have got on nice and thick with a glass like finish... Ive split the bumper iron apart, had the two nuts welded on...And then sanded/hammerited it all.

Here's what ive had to do with the bumper iron Which leaves this...Meaning all the top mounting clips are now obsolete ! So i drilled a hole at either side... One side seen here... Im trying to get this bit done today! A nut welded behind where i drilled. And some handy original holes in the bumper line up perfectly, you can see where ive bolted it up for a test fit So basically the bumper iron now bolts to the bumper rather than just using clips :D

Thought id have a go at painting the bumper... And ive totally fecked it up :( Ran out of paint half way through, so my dad brought some upto the unit after nipping to halfords...Started with the fourth tin and it looked funny. Looked at the tin, fecking vw diamond metallic black :mad2: Went for some more and came back with 2 tins of vauxhall black :ignore: :censored: Gonna save some cash and find a good painter to do it i think...

Aye, plenty clearance! :D Can actually see the front engine mount! Shame it wasn't that visible when i replaced the fecker :lol: Not sure if its gonna be ready for V.A.G 2008...Still got a lot more to do, and i ran out of money a few years ago now... :lol: Neil.

Thanks mate :D Things are 'ok' at the moment but its been a horrible week or two :( Done more at the corrado tonight... The slimline fans mount up with tie wrap type things found on ebay etc...And ive just got back from mounting them :cuckoo: The one in the engine bay will suck, and the one inside the slam panel will blow :) Plenty room in the bay now. And the other side.

Aye,it did actually work...There's a few vids on youtube but it was a bit tempremental :( Update:Well...Ive been busy becoming a dad for the second time. My new little boy is called Ayrton Neil Riley and all is 'ok' after some scary complications for his mother... :) Managed to get a bit more done on the Corrado. Used a chisel to get the messy plastic bits somewhere near. I cut it out more accurately on the front for what i want. Notice the wedge in this pic (behind red arrows) then see pic below I used a little filler over the fibreglass, got it all flatted off and then. Halfords finest plastic primer. The correct silicone hoses finally arrived...and i took a bit of time out from 'life' to throw them on last night. 4x 63mm 152mm leg lengths with a couple needing cutting down slightly. After a bit of positioning/cutting and properly mounting the intercooler, i turned the key and it fired up straight away. [] Crap,crap video.But this was a good moment for me as i haven't heard it run for ages! I got a better video today and worked out the wiring for the 2 slimline fans. They work real good too :D Neil.

As title :) Neil.

My daily is a bmw 328i sport... Neil.

Nice...Love that center console set up mate :D 8) Neil.

Some pics of the transformation although not finished... Neil.

Did some filling and priming... Not a lot really, waiting on other idiot suppliers :(

Bit of an info resource being added. :)

Pretty much every name under the sun. None of them nice. All very nasty. But i still miss driving the fecking thing :lol:

Ive had to throw the stereo (above) which ive just bought straight in the bin after things went wrong :( Anyway, im on the lookout for another...here's what id done (stripped it basically) Neil.

Corrado owners can now submit pics for the site :D Neil.

Updated :D
