sorry fella just checked an the same bit is broken on my set :(

bummer you didnt get his reg an you might be pissed off now but imagine how smug you will be when you have got the car finished surely it will be worth it? an which style of fk do you have as i have some red/smoked sat in me cellar from when my boss reversed into my rado cant remember which corner lense he smashed though but the other 3 lenses are fine you can have them cheap if there the right ones for ya?

oh dear sorry to hear that fella did you get his registration no? an id let yourself calm down a bit before making any hasty decisions on selling

my arms aint too bad really as the face of the wheels is quite flat i got away with using a palm sander for most of it an plans for the mk2 are just to put these wheels on got a set of springs an shocks and a badgeless grill comin well supposedly as ive been waiting for them to arrive for about 5 weeks! not intending to do too much as its my daily driver but then i said that about my corrado...... heres a pic of how the mk2 stands now

update on where i am with the wheels now what do you think? still got to give them a rubbing with fine grade wet an dry then polish them with autosol then laquer then there done!

well got some autosol and buffed the one wheel ive done up came up a lot shinier just got the other 3 to do now plus the black detailing plus clean up the insides of em as there quite corroded :(

yeah that wheel wax aint all that! i put three layers of wheel sealant and two layers of wheel wax on the polished dish of my borbets an wax em often, only had them on over summer an it aint protected em and i wash it every week which is why im gonna laquer em as cant be arsed cleaning two sets of polished rims all the time! and ive polished upto 3000 grade wet an dry now so the autosol should bring them up a treat cheers mk3 yeti on the tip think that sounds like a plan any idea whats best to de-grease them with after polishing?

thats the thing though there for a daily car so i cant be arsed cleaning them all the time, anyone know if i can i get away with laquering them? i know it will make some of the shine go but im not that fussed as its for a daily

cheers an yeah gonna give the autosol a try as it is a bit dull still,i tried megs nxt metal polish on it but didnt really do anything

recently bought a mk 2 gti to use as a run-a-bout so decided to clean up the estorils that came with my corrado they were quite a mess but i used nitromors to remove the laquer and paint then worked my way up through the grades of wet and dry to finally get a polished finish only got one polished up upto now as thats all i could be arsed to do today! what do ya think?passat climatronic wiring diags.pdfImage048.jpg[/attachment:d0994]2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfImage050.jpg[/attachment:d0994]climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfImage049.jpg[/attachment:d0994]Image051.jpg[/attachment:d0994]

cars lookin good fella looks good in the readers rides section of pvw too!

also just had a helix paddle clutch fitted as fried my old one at york raceway!!

been an expensive month for me the rado went in to get its rear arches pulled as it was doing my nut in that they were still rubbing and didnt like driving the car with the coilovers set on hardest setting but i ended up getting the front arches rolled as well as they rubbed every now and then and also have my smoothed mirrors painted. when i dropped the car off at my mates work i told him to sort anything he thought needed doing, his boss ended up being off for a week so he ended up doing the arches and respraying both sides of the car plus the front bumper! i have always used the c as my daily car but after having this work done i couldnt bare to see it get scrapes and dinks on the sides from car parks etc so have bought arfur a mk2 8v gti to use as a daily took ages to find a clean straight example but eventually found this one near bristol bit of a trek but worth it after some of the sheds i did look at!! some pics for ya

i run 205/40/16 tyres on mine which in my opinion is not too much of a stretch and had the rear arches rolled but on really bad bumps it still rubbed even with the coilovers on hardest setting so have recently had the rear arches pulled and the fronts rolled and spaced out slightly but i have my car sat fairly low and do drive quite hard!! hope this helps neil.

oh dear that does sound like a bit of an ordeal! glad you have got it sorted though

looking good stan 8) bet your gonna be sad to see it go

do you not mean keswick as i live in kendal and there aint no museum with those cars in unless doc brown and marty somehow changed the present when they went to the past.............. :lol:

again cheers for your comments people im well happy with how it looks at the mo couple of new additions a new exhaust which has made the car feel so much different as the old one was quite restrictive this one has made the power delivery a lot smoother although im still undecided about the back box being in view and bought blue joes ali washer bottle so got that fitted as the old one had gone all mankey inside anyways here is some pics

good work mucker hats off to ya for havin a go yourself, must take some time just usin a gas soldering iron though!

looking good fella 8)

hi andy if it was me and i could afford to keep the car as well as go away then i would do that as you have put some good work into that car and if it was me i would be gutted to see it go! only thing is if you went for option 4 and came back every so often and drove it would you be able to leave it behind then when its been fully restored? of course you could add air con to the list of things you would have done to it then ship it out to dubai!!! :D

again cheers for ya comments guys, put three layers of wheel sealant and a layer of rim wax on the borbets today to try protect them from the elements and most of all brake dust, one of my neighbours came out an said he didnt like them as from a distance he thinks they look like dustbin lids!!!! cheeky git!! anyways here is some decent pics of the new wheels

i have a bam engine in my corrado running about 290 bhp had it done for a year now and not really had any problems(coilpacks) as kadvr6 said a lot of people say they are soul less but i find mine anything but that and think its great

£220 for the lot including fitting tyres!(not postage) said they did me a special deal didnt say why but i think its due to the fact they had them for so long and i missed having them for inters, all in with the tyres they cost me less than a new set would of done so made the wait worth while

cheers for ya nice comments and they had to be anthracite as thats what i liked about my last wheels i think i goes well with the aqua blue, im really happy with them especially as when they arrived the other day it was the first time i had ever laid eyes on them as bought them second hand and had them delivered straight to bjv , and that pic really doesnt do them justice ill get some decent ones when the weather eases up
