Hi all!

Just about to start off on my Corrado rebuild!

The sound deadening foam on the inside of the bonnet is totally shot - It just falls to bits to the touch - whats the best way forward with this? Is is easy enough to remove totally - ideally I want to keep the OEM look so wondering about replacement foam?

Thanks.

Pete

Bloody hell! hats off to you. Ive got to do my matrix at some point, its just too dam cold for me though!

Pete

Got the parts to do my heater matrix - not looking forward to doing it though!

yup, nothing to do down there, i've had a kip in the waiting room before now :)

going to the Total garage on the corner is normally the most exciting thing, then all thats overtaken when you drive your VR6 home!!!

gearing perhaps, g60 final drive???

sweet. my 3mm spacers arrived on saturday, not bad, only ordered them Friday!

Can only but try lol - I'd assume herisites ran coilovers on his corrado to get it slammed that low?

Will have to get playing once I get permission of the missus lol - still need do jobs around the house before I can play!

Pete

herisites, I'd only need spacers for the front?

sweet, I'll get some 3mm ones off ebay and get my dremmel out ;)

cheers guys. my silverline polisher should get here next week, so will see how well I can bring up the bodywork :)

Pete

Hi Ben,

Rear badges - naimly the chrome rear boot VW badge, is that discontinued now, or will ones from a mk2 golf fit ? they appear to be overly inflated on ebay due to them being *rare* so was just wondering if a mk2 VW one would fit?

Pete

What spacers did you run on the front? do I need shave anything off the calaper? :)

Hi.

C2 motorsport have some in for 180 quid - http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum ... p?291190.0

The ebay link is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... MEWNX%3AIT

110 GBP + 28 quid import....

just depends how quick you want em. these took a week or so turn up.

not sure on the ETA on the wheels, they look sexy though!

not even wheeled out the car from the garage yet to play hehe :)

Pete

Still got a fair few bits to get yet before I can crack on with the mechanical stuff.

Need my Samcos, Schimmel flywheel, hubs, oil, coolant, coilpack and a battery.

Think I've got everything else I need now :)

I like the wheels, should look quite nice once lowered etc...

Pete

just picked up a non-runner VR for 1.2k need to do timing chains, matrix and head gasket, give it a good clean up and boom, sexy ass corrado ;)

Pete

Hi where did you get the head bolts from in the end and I pressume they came without a hassle?

 

Cheers

hi mate, I ordered them from ebay. about 180 quid including import duty.

The Corrado came last night!

Needs a bit of work, well quite a bit really, but means I can strip it down, and replace anything thats needed.

Got a massive pile of parts now, awaiting further bits this weekend :) including an OBD2 conversion :)

watch this space.

came at the right price Kev, you saw what I did to the mk2 golf, that turned into something special in a short amount of time, and I intend to follow the same route :)

A good polish, and de-swirling the bodywork should make it 100x better.

forgot to mention, the six branch i've got lined up in ceramic coated.

Pete

Should be getting it once I'm back from my holidays.

I've got my build thread on VR6OC.

http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum ... php?307243

Excellent thread. thnk I'll stick with the normal ones and re-torque.

Pete

Can I have one of these for my L Reg Corrado?

Thanks mate, I thought that would be t he case with the pound being not so good at the moment.

just out of interest, whats the difference of the u-cut ones compared with the usual ones?

Pete

hey guys,

well, I've now done a deal on a Corrado - needs some work, but i'm game for a laugh.

shopping for ARP head studs on eBay.

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=VR6+ ... 86.c0.m301

Are they the same across the Golf and Corrado? I'd assume so, but would just like to check.

or unless anyone know's of any cheaper sets going of course :)

Pete

fanks guys :)
