Cheers Fella, She is getting there. Just got phonecall to say my bonnet is ready and will be picking it up tommorow :lol: :lol:

Cheers fella, I know it was a daft q. But wanted to get it right as I am sure I did it wrong last time :?

Bonnet should be back friday and a new set of passat rear handles from the stealers as mine are gash. ( really bad paint job by me- never do anything with a hangover :lol: :lol: ). Should be all good for the cornwall vw orners club meet and E38. ( well as good as its going to get) 8)

Was on there when I got her. TBH I like the look of it but it has been no end of problems. At the moment there is a jubilee clip holding it on the rear bar to stop it knocking against the bumper. Pain in the ass and means it sits at a funny angle. :? When I have the time I want to see if i can try and get it to sit up a bit higher and neater in the cut out.......

Call me a numpty but I cant for the life of me remember I wind the collars down or up to lower the car :? :? Help want to drop the back end......................more 8) Tim

Wheels off, Wire brush, Masking tape, Hammerite smooth and a steady hand. :lol: :lol: Not the best job as the rear of the units are not done but looks cleaner. Will do untill I have time/money to take them off get them shot blasted and powder coated 8)

Finally gave her a clean. Not quite up to detailers standards but will do for me. :lol: :lol: Gave her a wash with Autoglym shampoo using a mit and 2 buckets. Then some ARP followed by some SRP both Autoglym then did the glass with fast glass and the tyres with autoglym tyre dressing. Tommorow got to do the inside and treat the leather. Thank god we have got some sunshine at last...... 8) Hope you likes

Just trying to get her tidied up a bit before the Cornwall VW Jamboree next sunday and E38 the sun after. Did Brake calipers in red, could do with another coat but it started pissing down :? I know they are not to everyones taste as red brakes should be brembos.... But I think it works really well with the black and silver 8) Redid my passat handles and color coded the rear number plate plinth.......... Then went round and tidied up some stone chips..,. Just waiting for the painted bonnet to come back.................... :lol: :lol: :lol: Will get some better pics up after I have cleaned her........... Just need some sunshine :(

Busy one today, piccies to follow in my thread. Cleaned and painted calipers red...... Colour coded door handles........ Colour coded the rear number plate surround.......... Finally fixed my horn & touched up some stone chips Busy Busy Busy. Cant wait for the bonnet to come back now 8)

cool ill take one for sure. If only cause 2 of my pictures are on the cover..............result :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well the bonnet went for paint today so should be back in a couple ................... :lol: :lol: Picture to follow as soon as it is on. Might make me polish the rest of her :?

Cheers Guys, Am going to take my spare bonnet into paint today so that will be sorted. looking forward to meeting some of you and getting more ideas for her....... Shame I will be missing out on the rumbongo :lol: but I kinda feel that might be a good thing :lol:

F*$k it, All I need is someone to follow out of London so I dont get lost and will be there................... Hate that city. Give me glasgow anyday.....Built on a grid.......... :lol:

I am hoping thats what its all about tbh. I might be being hypercritical as I see her everyday and most people say she looks good. It just bugs me I dont have the funds to get her perfect. :(

Ok I am having a bit of a dilemma. Really want to go to E38 and have asked to be on the Forum stand on the sunday. Will be my first show........... But... Although mechanically sound we havnt had a chance to sort out the body work and she is a bit tatty to say the least. door dents and some arse ran over her. ( might get a new bonnet on in the next couple of weeks) Really want to meet some of you guys and drool over some cars as well. But feel I will be letting the side down :( Hopeing the show is really laid back and more about the people as well as the cars and not all about how clean and concours they are. :lol: She will get paint, just not this year............... :(

Cant wait to see this up and running........... Awsome looking C with an awsome engine to go with it 8) need to start parking behind bushes again :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers fella, TBH I am loving it on the smaller wheels. Might just be my imagination but am sure she feels better on the road. Am going to0 be selling the 17's if you hear of anyone thats wants some......... Cheepish as well. Have to work the sat of the jamboree as it is on the bank holiday weekend.......unconsiderate barstewards or we would of been there all weekend.... Ps, phoned you as was passing and fancied a cuppa :lol: :lol:

Will get to the jamboree on sunday, Was hoping to hook up with the oem guys. Have got a place on the C forum stand at E38 for sunday as am in london on the sat night. But am in 2 minds about it as I am unable to get her painted with getting married in 6 weeks and all that :D . Might just get the new bonnet done and see how I feel............ :(

Well finally got round to getting the keskins fitted, Gone from 17's to 16's with stretched tyres and can't drive anywhere. Even turning hard at speeds and the front corners scrape. But I wont put the collies back up........................... :lol: :lol: :lol: And had to go to the scrappeis to pick up some more passat rears as mine had broken :( £4 the pair though so :D Shame the moonroof had been smashed though as would have had that.................. Next time :lol:

Got the same problem. But it still tilts, Think it might be expensive and I only got the roof working about 2 months ago. Since then we have had rain. Now its sunny its bloody busted again aaaaarrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :(

TBH, It is a pig of a job but only took me and a mate about 2 hours with lots of swearing (esp the 3 nuts under the scuttle cover) and the valco pattern matrix from GSF isnt too expensive........... Good luck :lol:

Ive just got a set of these in 16's Stretched tyres and 9j Absolutly love em. Look awsome on a raddo as well :lol: :lol: 8)

Mine fitted perfectly, And so did the one on the guy who bought the first one. I would heve been straight round to see swg if it didnt as I am only about 10 mins away. :lol: :lol: TBH there has been some fitting issues and I think they might have been down to the nature of the corrado than the product. :lol: I think these have now been resolved with a revised product. Tim

interesting, Will stop watching the one on egay then............... :lol:

Monza will look after her 8)
