Have thought about that. But what could I really do for the c for £500?

Ok here it is I have a bit o a dilemma. :oops: I have a bit more thn a grand to spend. :lol: Do I 1- treat the missus to a good holiday....... 2- spend it on the c Bearing in mind she dosnt know I have it :lol: Thing is the c could do with a respray but I dont really have the time to do it at the mo as she is my daily driver. Would a grand make that much more diffrence for the engine. At the mo she has... Stg 4 charger. sns chip. jabba induction. Smaller pulley. New wheels. Coilovers. And has been given a clean bill of health by the boys at RK . Advice.......... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its a keeper............. Look after the body and should last 4ever. When the engine goes get a new one.............. Thankfully I have somwhere to store her if I ever need another car but she wont be sold..........

Your nicked................... :lcop: Not too much you can do AFAIK

Did you get a random bag of screws and clips etc form VAG or is there somewhere else to get them as I know I am missing loads.

Ok prob been covered a million times but am going to ask for advice. In a couple of weeks I should hopefully have all the bits to change my interior from grey to black. I am going to strip out everything. Seats, carpets, Dash (new matrixtogo in a well as blk dash) and even the headlining as am fitting a new sunroof at the same time. 8) When putting it all back together I want to try and get it all fitting snug and lose all the annoying little squeeks and rattles. What would peeps advise i do? Fit felt strips against all the joining edges? Use reams of dynamat. Could do with a bit of soundproofing to be honest. What you all say. 8)

Dont change a thing on the exterior........ Its beautiful as it is. But charge her.........

Oh bugger. Went to see about getting the wheels refurbished and some new rubber and ended up with these. :oops: :oops:

front spoiler...........

OK guys used the search and couldnt really find any definitive answers. Having got car insurance with no breakdown cover for the first time who would you reccomend? Any horrer stories or all they pretty all the same and which level of cover would you go for. I know whatmy luck is like and after one years ownership and not having to get someone out you can gaurentee now that I am not covered I will need to call someone out soon...... :lol: Answers on a postcard too.... 8)

Just got covered by brentacre for £605 with all declared great.......... Phoned them because bloody greenlight cancelled my insurance and charged me £300 for 30days cover................. Because I didnt send back my milage declaration for last year in time........... Not for this years policy but for last years..........Angry dosnt quite sum up how i feel at the moment......... :mad:

Think we all know that feeling. But hey this is something else to add to the wish list. It gets bigger by the day. Just got to hide the damn thing in case the missus sees how much i want to spend..............................

your not kidding. Takes about a 1/4 mile too stop from 60 let alone anything else................

Well sorted the fueling issue, 90 in third. Might just be the fact that she is a smaler car and a cabby but she feels quicker than the G. Best sor out the brakes, suspension, wheel bearings and stuff now as she is kinda scary to drive. But f**k me did I have a huge grin on my face afterwards............

Like s**t of a hot shovel. Will be loads better when I sort out the fueling issue and give her to RK to play with..................... Will take you out for a blast next time I am up cambornio.....

Well not a corrado, but eating just as much money at the moment. Thought I might share her with you all. What do you think. Originally a mk1 clipper cab 1.8 carb. Now running a 2.0 16v out of a passat. Having some fueling problems at the moment but these should hopefully be sorted when a new facet fuel pump turns up tommorow. If not will have to get under her and fit some larger bore fuel lines. Am also going to fit the brakes from the passat in the nex couple of weeks as i cant seem to stop in any less than a 1/4mile with the new lump in her. HAve put on some bbs wheels from a mk1 sportline and am sorting some new suspension soon. New hood in black in the boot ready to go on. when I have the time then hopefully a respray this winter. Any ideas or thoughts much appreciated. Especially for tuning the lump. 8) Enjoy Tim

dont do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mot looming so got dirty and fixed a few things. Main one being the ignition. Tried replacind the switch and barrel to no avail so got a starter button form dare i say it http://www.badassmotors.co.uk But it is ideal and looks really good once fitted. Really bad picture but here you go.

welcome 8)

Fitted starter button. Thank goddont have to hotwire her anymore. New handbrake cables and fixed horn.

Does make a huge difference. Jst buy new ones from VAG. Really iproves the look of the front end. Shame the fogs are so darn expensive though :shock:

looks sweet. just keep away from multi story car parks and youll be fine

congrats. Shes looing good.
