I'm kinnda glad it's not just me but scared it can happen so easy!

It's not pretty.

Thanks for the well wishes guys. Your all right in one thing I :censored: :censored: my pants! You could have built a council estate with the number of bricks I :censored: ! The car is a write off. Roof is mega :censored: ! To be honest i have no idea how the hell i got to the hard shoulder. I was a bit dazed from being cracked in the head by bits of interior. I don't think the lorry driver saw anything i less than 1/4 of the way to overtaking him.

Indeed it did. Fcuk knows what happened, Pot hole jolt of acceleration (In a 16v.... Hard to imagine) :lol: One minute all was fine. Next Bang... I'm trying to see through a bonnet, Hit on the head by the interior light and sunvisor, Shards of glass everywhere.... The bonnet hit the roof with enough force to make the sunroof pop open 6" and we all know they aint light!

Well Raddo_Rob and I bought the lovely 16v from a member here... Imagine the scene. Pissing it down with rain on the M6 in the middle of overtaking a lorry. So doing ever so slightly above 70 then this happens As i'm sure you can imagine NOT FUN! :epicfail: Thank fcuk I avoided hitting the lorry or anything else for that matter. But JEEZ it was scary! It's not easy trying to see through a bonnet...

green flag woman today on a reg check "a volkswagen camper... whats that word.... sue sue... what does that say..... oh corrado hello mr.... oh god i'm sorry i didn't think you were there" Kinnda lightened up the mood after the "incident" on the M6 earlier :( Pics to folow soon....

Well no pic updates... Just this.... I :censored: HATE WIRING! Late spec door looms to easy.... Hmmmmmm! I THINK NOT! Another wasted day :brickwall: :brickwall: Saying that i've got the door cards in and the boot.... So not all that bad really... :lol:

Right so here goes.... On my first coffee sarnie and cig break of the day! So thought i'd update! After all hell broke loose with the annoying boot lock and spoiler issues :censored: Things seem to be back on track! How it was this morning.... A hour or so later... Before Cig Break... It's only when you put them back together from nothing that you realise how well made these bad boys are!! I know it's defeating the object putting it all in only to take it out when i find the leather i'm after.... But for now sod it! I'd rather know it's all there! :lol:

If everything goes to plan Bordeaux will be broken June 20th! Failing that i've got the K Reg valver to break too! I'm off work till 23rd June so this has got to be done by 9am on the 24th June! :cuckoo:

The task re commences....

The driveway is awesome! Got 4 Corrado's on it all sitting comfortably and room for one more! :lol: Also the kitchen is right next to the current project :)

Words can't describe! It's like being a kid again and just going at it with a bit of commen sence and the desire to figure out how it all goes together! But i've got the security blanket of two other ones to get it right with/rob the parts off... Not like the time I took my Alba sterio to bits. :lol:

Well I spotted this L reg 16v.... I thought.... It'd be rude not to fully late spec up this Dyson! So I thought i'd start fro the inside out... The valver... So out with the Early Spec Grey interior... I was left with this.... Then I noticed that the spoiler wasn't looking right on the new shell or the central locking thing in the boot or just ANYTHING in the smallest cavern imaginable! So after i got the rear carpet door cards front seatbelts out I started on that and lost the will to take any more pics! It was a NIGHTMARE! I ended up stripping out the full motor from the late spec interior donor car and going mad! Took bloody hours and i'm still pissed off! lol. Lucily for you my mate got handy with my camera till I lost my cool and took it out on him because he was using my camera... lol Then as Corrado's do! The weather turned.... So now my dining room looks like this And the Corrado looks like this Nedless to say i'm tired and wired but tomorrow I plan to get things moving! :clap:

Day one to follow shortly as soon as Photobucket gets moving :censored:

Take one battered G60 with a stonking engine Please Excuse Mk3 GTi Badge put ithere so i wouldn't loose it. lol Brief engine Spec.

Is it free willy? :lol:

I try not to agree with people that put quotes as a sig.... But that'd be a blinding one!! :lol: Cheers for the Help guys! :clap:

Or did you post a pic and due to work photobucket restrictions i can't see it? :brickwall:

I can't find it behind the speaker grill.... (or am I just being Dumb?)

How do i get to the hidden screw behind the speaker on a late spec door card?? I'm literally going out of my mind!! :bad-words: :bad-words:

It''s like that random tv show when i was a kid... Brum. I swear corrado's go off on adventures but instead of ringing back a random thing in the back seat it just brings back a fault! lol.

When mine is a complete car not missing 1/3 of it's dash i'll report noises... Is it just me or do you all think corrado's control the weather?? Do they know that you can't put an under dash tray in without most of you hanging out of the door getting piss wet through!

More pics!!!! :clap: :clap:
