Finally made some visible progress on this today after spending time repairing some rust at the bottom of the a pillars making the bottom of one of the front wings in fresh metal as had gone crusty Also rewrapped the loom in oe tesa tape made new brake lines and sprayed all brackets master cylinder servo etc with chassis black Made up the front running gear and fitted to the car all new oem bolts used r32 rear Bush's all others oem, ball joints drop links all new oem Hope fully get cracking on with it again now And

Sorry about the car mate I'm poss interested in the arbs and the passenger front wing depending on if it's got much rust If you could let me know a price for these please

So been busy stripping the bay in mine getting ready for paint getting the old wax off was a nightmare but it had done it's job as there was only a couple of bits of surface rust Prepping before paint seems to have taken a age and hammered my fingers as all the books and crannys needed to be sanded by hand and last thing I want is to put the motor back in and it all start flaking off/ crazing I've ended up going for khaki green pearl and I'm well happy with that choice now the first bit of paint is down this is straight out of the gun still needs a polish and sorry for sideways pics the app I'm using to upload pics seems to do this sometimes

Cheers fla mines going to be a bit less oe looking than Giles when it's done Cheers quite chuffed with how it's turned out and only used cans before to spray small parts first real time with a compressor and gun Cheers these pics are after a good flat and polish though, think orange peel is inevitable with a home respray I'm not looking forward to doing it on my full car once it's done!

I'll leave the swg thanks but will take the loom

I'll take the headlight loom if you will post? Also the swg scuttle dependant on price as it doesn't seem to be on your list

Just had a read through this great work fella

Had a go at spraying practised on the wife's bumpers as they had a few scrapes from before I bought it think they turned out ok so now stripping everything else from the bay on mine to start it's respray They look slightly more purple than the original paint don't know if this is due to the original paints age or who I got the paint from either way they look 100 times better than before

Cheers Been slowly chipping away at it but had a few problems arise with the wife's valver but sorted them plus got some coilovers for her and rolled her arches it's now running my old borbets that were on my 1.8t many moons ago With mine the engine is now out and I have been on with tidying the gearbox and ancillarys and giving them a lick of paint along with the block, all the wire wheeling seems to have taken an age but the end result seems worth it! I have also just invested in a compressor as I'm going to give mine a full respray and colour change and sort some bits on the wife's as I simply can't afford the prices bodyshops now charge surely it can't be that hard!!

Rear end now done, got the car turned round in the garage work on the front can now start Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Been doing a bit more on this, applied some stone chip over the areas id welded/ worked on, cleaned the petrol tank up and fitted back up with stainless straps Fitted genuine bushes to the new beam new brake load compensator new genuine bolts used or stainless Want to get cracked on with it now it's getting slightly warmer Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Would you be willing to chsnge your mind on posting them? Also the pics are not working for me on tapatalk what do you mean by seal them back up? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Sounds like a fair price and veka is a decent system obviously sizes and specs can make a difference, our windows don't have shoot bolts but they maybe just use a different lock rail which requires shoot bolts to meet security specs As long as you fit them plumb and in square then pack the glass correctly (toe and heel any openers) then you will be fine Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Sbs Cumbria Ltd we have trade counters in Cumbria as well as a few in Scotland if your near any of our trade counters and know your sizes etc just give them a ring for a quote whatever you do don't buy from Everest safe style etc as they rip people off better to call a local manufacturer or local fitter for a price Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I make upvc doors and windows in a small factory being doing it over 10 years did escape for 6 months at the beginning of last year making aftermarket stainless exhausts for motorbikes, ended up going back to my old job for a few reasons but least I can now weld a bit better!

Congrats on getting your first corrado When I needed a new one I found that people recommend going for a beru one as there oe quality I got mine from avs hopefully this link will work https://www.vwspares.co.uk/VW_Corrado_Electrical.php?model=2.9VR6 VR6 Just to add I did try a cheaper one first from eurocarparts and it didn't work straight out of the box!

Can't find that again though sorry Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Think there all gone now, was posted up about the last few being for sale not so long ago I contemplated buying one but decided not to and in usual corrado style the one on the wife's corrado has now popped off and won't stay on! I have ordered a repair clip off ebay that apparently holds it on for few quid will see how it goes, after ordering this I also found somewhere that supplys the rubber Bush's for a few quid incase anyone else is in the same boat as me Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I'll take the door strikers please Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Got a bit more done pass side sill repair now been painted in extreme chassis black along with the other bits I've fettled Drivers side now finished to same stage Also cleaned up and sprayed the exhaust heat shields with hi temp paint Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

On the work I'm doing on the underside of mine if it wasn't replaced with new metal I've taken it back to clean metal with a wire wheel removed any pitted bits with a grinding bit on a dremel if there's enough metal there then etch primer then paint If couldn't remove the pittedness fully I have also used bilt hamber hydrate 80 then primer then paint Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Cheers Chris yeah finally updated! nice to meet you at the wkd mate Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Cheers, I also thought about doing that but decided I'll just keep an eye on it make sure it doesn't fill up with crap Quite an awkward bit to do though isn't it also surprising how far the rust creeps under the underseal Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
