I think if your gonna take out the rear wiper you've gotta fill the hole as the rubber will look like an after thought much better to get it right now than decide you should have done it when you had the chance.

Just read the whole post in one hit and loved it. Great work. Like the drivers seat in last pic (lol). Do the door cards go straight over the front speakers?

Now for the long wait. How long do they recon it will take? Any decisions on black plastics?

Friday was spent installing new stereo and last 2 days wet flating and polishing = one shinny car and one cream crackered little me.

agreed, they do look good

 

Cheers. I think it's safe to say she has lost them just need a good clean as they have been sat out in the garden for over a year.

ha ha I made it up lol

 

it was just in reference to your corrado cherry being popped :)

 

Like it. Will be using in future.

nice popping :)

Never heard that saying before. I hope it's a good thing lol.

In my opinion if you paint the black plastics metallic black it breaks the colour up but gives a better shine and doesn't fade or require greasy shine products that get all over paint work plus no need to be so carful when waxing. I hate it when you get white smears on textured plastic and a nightmare to get off.

http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html not sure if this will help but loads of info. Will have my fuse box out later to sort some bits but its a G60 so not sure if the same but will take some pics and post if you want. Just let me know.

Just started a build thread over in members gallery if anyone's interested.

Also have stolen the wheels from the wife's mk1 caddie for the time being while I re furb the bbs's but like how they look so might keep them on and buy some new ones for the golf.

Hello all have been meaning to start a build thread but have only just learnt how to post pics. It's a 92 red G60 in standard form. It has done 138k with a recent charger rebuild by jmr along with re con vr6 gearbox and clutch. Engine is sound but the same cant be said for the body work. I have already started the repairs with re spray of drivers side rear 1/4, door (damaged by scum bag when trying to break in) front wing and bonnet. Here are some pics and will update as I go.

Yeah get some 1500 wet and dry, give the headlights a flat and polish them back up to! Same as the fogs and indicators

Will add that to the to do list. Gotta mop roof anyway so I'll have a go then. Cheers.

Got the promoter some where in the workshop. Time for a spring clean.

Grey or red scotch. You can really see the colour in the last pic. I think green is one of the best colours for the corrado.

Hats off to ya fella. Any chance of some more pics. How did you do the rear lights? Any special types of materials?

Will watch it but can't see it being the same

Sprinter53. I have sent pm regarding early spec.

I know that feeling. My mk1 golf has been so long I can't imagine it ever being finished. All part of the fun.

Not sure as the wife told me after I had parked up I the garage so need to get it out Tuesday after work and see for myself. Did you manage to get yours sorted?

Yet another question that has probably been asked many times. I currently have no speedo rev counter mfa and clock. Checked fuses and all ok. I have read that it's possibly a bad earth? Where is the earth likely to be have traced back from batt but have only managed to find 2 earths 1 behind batt and 1 which bolts to the block but all the others seem to run into the loom tape and can't work out where they go. Have had fuse box out to try and trace but not able to trace. Could it be a relay? Temp gauge and fuel gauge working ok. Please help. Also indicators have stoped working is this linked or is it likely that I have done something when fiddling with fuse box?

Looking good. If I spent that much time on my car the wife would kill me.

I wouldn't do a full re spray for less than 2k for a basic job. Is it metallic or non metallic. A lot will depend on condition of car rust dents etc. like has already been said you can save money by striping it yourself and doing prep work but a lot of places won't take it on if they don't do the prep work. Be wary of anything under £1.5k.
