My Cheap Ebay-rado project build, long thread lots of pics!
sambo replied to sambo's topic in Members Gallery
I love 15" steels, and this set was a bargain at around £100 quid, came powder coated and with all centre caps and nut covers I will be putting some E30 sport 15" bbs wheels on it soon, they suit C lines well -

Awesome. Is that Dan Kinnerleys old car? Im sure Gareth talked about that when i bought the Corrado from him. Blimey ben, i didnt realise you gareths C! U lucky boy! That is a quality car Yea audi is dans old car, since i bought it i had it custom mapped and done few bits to it and also have nos kit to go on yet I keep getting this idea in back of my head of finding a mint C shell and transfering engine and haldex 4wd from my A3 into it :D -

Thanks for all the coments lads, i just love corrados so much it brakes my heart to see them scraped! Sad i know, but i have even named my boy 8 years ago KI-Corrado, for reall! People thought i was mad but everyone now loves the name, and by the time he is 18 and i provide a rado for him it should be a cool combination :wink: -

Thank you jim :) -
Well after beign absent from corrado scene for couple of years and missing having one i decided to by one cheap that needs work doing. Not long ago i blew up my track day mk2 valver at cadwell so i had allot of tasty bits left over plus i already had lots of unused spares lying around in my garage so i decided to go for early valver as all the bits could be bolted on. After a while i'v noticed a black valver on e-bay that needed much love and care after beign stood for a long time, and it didnt have interiour, exhast, handles..ect, and had few faults like leaking pas rack...ect Car however did have: 5 stud hubs and vr brakes, Nice private number plate including brand new german style plates, Lether rim steering wheel Imobiliser And most comprehensive service history with 13 stamps,all bills and every single mot! Also i'v picked up Fk coilovers of e-bay for £120, refurbed by my self And i already have rear beam with mk3 calipers and poly bushes Eibach arb-s Full powerflex polybush kit And just bought nice Abf motor with fresh rebuild and schrick cams for £550 So once i do the bodywork(my self) and rebuild it with all the bits above it should be on the road for around the grand! Will need some tasty wheels tho so that will push the price up but there is always e-bay and clisifieds on here to rely on This is how it is right now, will keep updating pics as and when rebuild begins May go for satin or matt black paint, very low stance on deep dish 15" orange wheels Anyway here is few pics As you can see from pics above it was in quite a state but it is now done with every bush changed for powerflex, brake disks uprated, brake lines are stainless braided, refurbed coilovers with brand new mk3 top mounts, back to 4 stud with g60 hubs and correct driveshafts...ect Got grey interiour for £30 of e-bay as well as standard front grill Still got to fit exhaust properly and do few bits but it will do for now, it is mot-ed and taxed and on the road, and drives spot on, still pules as it should and handles and stops really well! Anyway here if few pics through the build And finally did all the body work my self and temporarily painted with rattle cans! After all of that i gave the car much needed service and replacing minging fuel filter and all ignition components It now drives so well i think i might just keep this one for a while! Sorry about the long thread and thanks for reading :D

Oh yea i think its time for me to change my sig Owning a seat,audi and couple of golfs now so i'm not sure what to use as my sig Maybe that mount? :lol:
-
:lol: :lol: :lol: at the mount It was an experiment that worked so well i didnt want to remove it My excuse for bad wellding is lack of gas at that time but i carried on regardless :oops: I'm just pleased valver is still running well even at that milage Just proves my point that valvers are about toughest engines around,especially if looked after!

did not try new switch, but switch was perfect prior to braking the corrado and also was working ok in my other corrado since No power to front or rear fogs do run through headlights switch but it is not a relay as such because it doesnt have a coil within it, if you know what i mean I'm quite sure there should be a relay somewhere as i used to hear it click once you turn the fogs on :?
