thanks Tim,yes im doing it again outside in the cold,,i must be mad!! the mk1 had to go as i split up from my wife and she kept the house and garage ,All good now tho as im with someone new and we are now engaged!!! Thanks chris any progress on the vrt?? Heres a pic of my front hub ,iv just got some new dust plates so these will be stripped and painted, i had a local engineer do them for me T B Engineering,charged me £80 i think for the two front hubs and rear discs drilling ,, Swampy the paint match is pretty good ,i dont think i would do anything on the body but its fine for the bay or small items, Ive now painted and rebuilt the subframe,i had the steering rack refurbished and i also polly bushed everything just a couple of months ago so should all last awile now, bits painted, and another shot of the bay,im really pleased with the way it looks now, i am now getting things together to re fit the brake servo and lines without ABS ,and will be stripping the front callipers to get them blasted and powdercoated, ive also writen out a plan of what i need get done by the end of each month so if all goes to plan the engine should be in and running by the end of april.

pm returned. got one now thanks

ye i like the black trim and carpets ,,,

i like it !!

thank you, il put some pics up tommorow of the 5x112 conversion its basicly rear discs redrilled in m12 then the front hubs have a 5mm ring welded round them then redrilled as 5x112 pattern only just fits inside a 5 stud hub, hi chris,ye im hopeing to have this back on the road in the next couple of months so youll have to pull your finger out !!! i got the bay all painted now just a rattle can job,got them from paints4u they are a very good match, sorry for pour quality pics , then ive fully stripped the front subframe so will get that cleaned up and painted tommorow aft.

as title please,must be in good working condition surface rust is ok as long as its not rottern,, thanks

engine bay is now ready for paint but have to wait till weekend now as im back at work,,

il add to that best colour remark as mine is also a dbp vr, looks very nice ,would like to see what the grey leather looks like in there,,

thanks,i did like the 8 holes so i have another set sat in the shed as spares, last year i fitted all powerflex bushes front and rear and cupronickle brake lines as i want this to last a long time as i have no plans of ever gettin rid!!! i have also removed the ABS as it never really worked very well so once the bay is painted,this week???? i will be on the look out for a non abs servo to get brakes sorted before the engine work starts,

Here is my corrado vr6 that ive had for a few years now,i bought it as a runaround wilst i smoothed the engine bay in my red 1.8t rado(ended up finding too much rust so got scrapped[:^(]) anyway i then got stuck into this vr,Its a dark burgundy pearl 93 vr ,i fitted the cream leather,all red rears and momo steering wheel from my red one ,then added coilovers and 8x16 merc 8 holes, looked like this, i then built up my OZ vegas to 8 and 9x16 these are 5x112 fitment and very low offset so i had my hubs re drilled to 5x112 stud pattern so they bolt direct to hub, now painted centres in dbp after having a 1.8t in my old rado the vr6 lump never felt as quick as i wanted but i do love the big 6 pot so i got myself a 24v 2.8 engine from a mk4 4motion golf[:)] i also wanted a shorter final drive so i have got a v5 box and mk4 shifter to go in, im doing everything myself apart from the wireing loom and ecu that i will send to andyout[:y:] wilst in the bay i have removed the battery tray,washer bottle and any brackets that wont be needed(this is were im at now) welding and smoothing, and this is my parts runner and winter hack A4 1.8t avant ,full cream leather and lots of toys, hope you like what iv done so far and will keep this updated as and when i can,im hoping to have it back on the road by may,june time,,

trim looks realy nice,,i have the same in my dbp

looking good:) im just fitting a 4mo 24v in my dbp rado ,cant wait to get it in !! have you had it mapped or anything?

also what can i remove from the engine??there is a valve on the front right of my inlet manifold but its not connected to anything,,can this be removed or do i need it ??also at the rear of the engine just below the throttle body there was an air pipe coming from a valve ,does this just get blocked off??appart from that everything looks pretty straight forward,, thanks for any help.

im putting a 2.8 4 motion into my vr ,iv got engine ,loom and ecu and will splice the vr and 4 mo loom but do i have to use the dbw or can i use cable throttle??

thanks for that ,,but its the master that im after nxt to servo ,cheers

could you send me a pic please ?? is it the master cylinder or slave?? cheers

im in need of an early vr6 clutch slave cylinder ,its the longer one with a bleed nipple on it ,must be in good working order,, thanks,,pm me or text o7702030888
