th heater control clips in to the facia panel, then at the back of the heater controls is a screw point which luckily is only 3-4mm away from the original ashtray fixing point so it will be fixed securly in there... i will post pics up when i have achieved this i only get to work on the car a couple nights a week and then for not long so hopefully you will see some more results eithe tonight or thursday.... here is the link to my local forum... http://www.swdubs.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9699 is there anywhere on this forum i could start a build thread?? the knowledge on here is massive so would kinda make sense really......

Hi yes it is! i have a build thread on a local forum if you would like to see some more i can post the link up?? good car actually quite pleased with it so far....just got a couple of things in my head to get it really nice , needs some paint and im going to refurb the interior dont get me wrong it cleans up nicely i hust would like to get it as mint as i can on my budget....lol

thought id give a bit of an update ... as you can see in the pics it looks a bit of a nightmare....had to bond the screen surround in place then fill it to get it to look as though it fits...same with the heater controls....yes im going to loose the illumination....for the time being.... the frame is all sanded down please note im no good at filling sansing at all............. wish i was as this job would turn out so much nicer ....... anyway pics below are now of the centre console filled primed and texture painted to match the other black plastics.... looks fairly good but need some more filler work really , it does however look better in the flesh and when it is fitted it should look fine....

this car is absolutly awesome......... we looked at them in the states earlier this year, they have changed a bit though the interior is a little upsetting as the one in the concept is uber cool, the interior in the actual car has just been taken from the charger........ looked @ the super bee as well loved it .......... only been following american cars since my dad got interested... viper srt10............. it is very nice... also rebuilding a 64 thunderbird which will be retro cool....modest 450bhp 550flb

ive just picked up a blackberry rado vr6.... im loving the matt black inlet manifold.....and cover... wouldnt mine trying that on my car..... love the bbs rc's.................... i have borbet a's to goon mine retro cool....hopefully looking forward to more updates!!!

do you have any pictures of the building of this??? would be good to get some ideas from that............. if not is there anywhere else i should be looking to get inspiration from?? cheers

hmmmmm sounds complicated............ :notworthy: not sure if i want to get that involved with changing to climatronic?????? looks a neat install though.... did it just fit into the dash pods??

thanks for the reply... what is an I/O converter??? got any pics of this climatronic stuff?? cheers fairly new to this corrado ownership, cheers for the input though!!!

the next thing to over come is the screen surround is a different colour plastic to the rest of the dash.... now should i bond the surround into position with araldite etc and use filler to blend into the centre console so it looks almost factory.... then texture paint it black to match the other plastics... or do as above but also incorporate the heater controls too, so yea i would looose the fan numbers and the diagrams around the controls but it would look as one unit i guess..... thoughts please..... the only prob i can see with the above is putting the heater controls back in???? the steel wires how the hell would i connect them back up???? :shrug: i want the install to look as original as poss i have thought about cover ing in leather to match interior etc etc but that isnt going to work i dont think.... any ideas on how i could fit the heater controls would be gret many thanks

fitting a car p.c into a corrado.. well i am new to this site i did put a hello in the newbie section about 4 weeks ago, i have finally picked up my rado vr6 from one of the forum members.... very nice good base to start a project from... anyway i picked car up on saturday and drove it back , sunday just had to start on something so the p.c it was..... 1.33 little vally mobo 1 gb ram 80 gb seagate 3.5 inch drive 20x dvd rewriter liteON m2 atx psu 8 inch lilliput widescreen with touch i have put some photo's below just to give an idea.... stripped dash of all switches here is a pic of the screen yes its dirty!!!! this is the motherboard and hard drive/cd drive i think it will fit nicely..... with the centre console out of the car i set on cosmetically changing it :norty: the plastic bars had to be removed and the plastic around the top of the console jut below the heater vents also had to be removed.... this was quite time consuming as i had virtually no tools (as i left them at work) and i didnt want to scratch any plastic that you can see once this is finished.... with the bits cut out i decided on a dummy run, ok thre screen and newly located heater controls are not fixed in but just rested in position for the photo's ,they kinda almost fit!! :clap: as you can see needs a lot more work to get it looking right but this is a good start i feel....

reading this thread for the first time!!! wow gone a long way since you have owned it, looks like its a real credit to its owner.....very nice. i pick my corrado up this weekend i bought it off here from a forum member, and i just cant wait to get stuck in!!!!! hopefully i will be able to do exactly what everyone else plans on doing and thats having a cheap runner and the C for weekends etc any up dates on other mods for this car?? any interior touches?? cheers Nate

coilovers from a mk2 golf gti have the same fitment as.. mk2 gti corrado mk3 gti vento now obviously there are some subtle differences.. spring rate is the main one for the heavier vr lump but apparently venom sell the hd kit as standard so there shouldnt be am issue......
