Doh just re read a couple pages saw the pic.... Exactly how mine is Is every corrado like that then I wonder do they all have inner Mexican wings???

South America ... Ahhhhhh that would explain it then just out of interest just check your passenger side inner wing under the air box, mine is stamped vw .......... Mexico! What does yours say?

the black and brown box is the immobilizer box so dont touch that one its the smaller jet black box

theres a box of tricks behind the dash just below the headlight switch have a play with the connections on that or replace it with a known good one, other than that im afraid all the wires go back to the fuse board you might have a didgey loose connection in there....just make sure all the connectors are pushed home properly

the two loom s are sat in fron tof the car at the mo.....il get teh interior fonished in no time its just the wiring thats holding me up!!! so close but so far , been off the road since september really geting the itch to drive her again now!!

my mate turned up today with a nice shiney new windscreen for the car , couldnt turn it down so in it went! got the dash back in at last well nearly! after a ball ache of messing around i finally got my indicators fitted properly! as im selling all of the chromed goodies i got bored and started to wire brush the obd2 manifold.... colour is supposed to be metalic black .......looks grey to me but halfords are adiment its metallic black.......

you can buy it from halfords now bud, never used to be able to but now they have started selling paint that is actually useable/handy

they are the porsche 993 seats large bolster /deep bolster tomb stone seats also in the 928 911 turbo so so comfy i sold these to robrado974 and he has changed the colour of them to black and they look awesome!

hello guys thanks for te replys! il try and translate this when i get to the car tomorrow? or wednesday... yes it seem slike just a case of splicing the looms together but as i am a dick i just dont know which wires to get rid of... there are som many and what with the golf loom using slightly diffeent colours for bits and pieces plus i have no diagrams for the golf loom which makes it harder i guess.... has anyone got a diagram for the golf loom by any chance?

thanks rams, the golf loom seems to have two of those massive round multipin connectors on it do i need to use the fuel rail injectors and wiring from that also? or can i use my original fuel rail injectors and wiring and leave the big multi pin round block connected to the meal housing and just plug the golf one into it??

welcome to the forum! il also keep an eye out nice to another rado in the SW!! now will it be a) on the road b) stuck in the garage c) stuck on the drive d) stuck @ the body shop e) cant think of one for e dont think ive seen you on swdubs either bud good luck with the car hopefully will see it soon!

HELLO tryingto convert to obd2 and kinda hit a block, seen the posts on here but there is no real guide on how to do this , it says cut looms etc but what am i cutting out exactly??? whic loom do i use? the golf loom? or the corrado loom? which one do i add the bits to or cut bits off? and most importantly which bits do i cut off!! lol sorry this is vauge but i really need to get this finished as i need to move the car.... any help appreciated cheers

here are a quick couple of pics of the porsche seats still got to be fitted yet but i think they will look awesome!! this is the one i had to have repaired as you can see they repaired all four bolsters £90.00............bargain!! yes they are lighter shade of grey but i asked for that as they are being re-connolised......... they also replaced the pipeing... interior looks very sorry for itself... another job to do re-trimming the headlining............. engine bay looks sorry for itself.... need to get some polished bits in there!! got the paint today brombeer!! (blackberry) looks wicked even on the lid!! obviously the paint hasnt even been mixed yet but still it looks nice...

car entres booth, gets wiped down with thinners i think and final finishing touches are taken care of ready for masking...

went there again today and jow was getting on with the final prep.. the car is going to be in the oven at around midday tommorrow!!! this is getting close the doors will be foff tomorrow and the slam panel should be prepped... anyway the last few pics before the colour is on!! this is the car after it has been wet flatted all over... tail gate hinges removed... need to replace the clear sticker that goes around the door shut to stop the rubber taking the paint off.... also need to get hold of sharon@motormugs so they can duplicate these stickers.... useually if you produce a good enough image and dimensions they will make up any car sticker for you to look like the original and normally only charge £1.00 per sticker..... cool eh??!! look at him go!!! need to get some of these too....

yep little by little we edge closer to completion!! :roll: so the car has been blocked (start of the final preparation) and is just waiting to be gone over with 400 grit and then peopl ethen its going in the oven..... who knows by saturday evening i might even be able to put up some pics of a shell that has got paint on it other than primer!!!!! rear bumper being worked on and the tail gate....

almost forgot... got the rears back from polishing today i didnt get them totally stripped as ppi said they didnt need it they can make good whats there.... so what ya think he has done an awesome job yet again and the pair...£30.00 cany go wrong eh! car now out of the oven and ready for final prepping... that will start monday i think?!

couple more of the front and rear bumpers being prepped towing eye cover gone...

this is where the threads are on the front.... why am i showing you this i have no idea??? ben as promised sorted the front arches this morning... he also started work on the front bumper.. car also went in for its primer today!! at last we here you cry.... apparently the roof doesnt need primer as there are no repairs needed to the roof so i guess that just gets keyed up and blasted?? the bonnet has already been primed and the tail gate will be done next... rear bumper is having some smoothing work done and then its in ...really looking like it will be painted next week now!!!!!

the carpets just need a good wet vacing off now and the pile will be restored to its former glory!! so on the way home i popped into ppi and got the sunroof trim off and aerial car has moved and is nearing the door!!! gonna be soon now!! bonnet with first coat of primer we finally managed to get the bumper off!!! front end now looks like this fitted the oettys to the front firstly to see how much room there is on the front arch and secondly had to see the 'stance'..... so with the thougth of fitting porsche brakes in the near future i had better take care of the front arches now while its in this stage...got to allow for maybe 10mm spacers.. to fit the calipers so panel berating the arches back is a good move i feel... also took the opertunity to lower the car at the front some more.... starting to look right now peoples opinions please... ben is going to sort the front arches out in the morning i.e filler shaping etc and then................yes then it is going into primer tomorrow after noon!!!!! this means it will be painted by this time next week ?? hopefully!!!!

got a bit done today!! got the carpets and took them to work they are minging, at one point i thought i need to source some new ones, but i thought id give what i always do a go and TFR them then pressure wash them here are the carpets... closer pic of the rear section closer pic of front section note the black marks... i started with the smallest bit of carpet first, i sprayed on the tfr let it soak just a little then i just pressure washed them off throurghly, i didnt even scrub them its starting to look clean already!! this bit is just dirty all done! the fronts you can just about see the brown water coming off them!! very happy with these results.. there are a couple of what looks like pink permanent marker stains which wont budge but i will get some grey mats to cover them up!!

few more updates not very interesting but its getting there... drivers front wing no more stone chips!!! (no more paint....) passenger rear quarter dents in quarter and door removed... rear wiper removed only got a pic of the one seat as the drivers one has gone for some new panels to be put in...

:thankyousign:

here is the hole in the tail gate ... bonnet washers welded up... trial run............. note the bracket inside for the light cluster............. darren showing nigel his ninja death moves............

got a couple pics of the chequred spoiler today in a better light and a couple of the oettys on the rear... tucked.... i actually cannot go any lower with these rims as the tyre would bottom out on the actual arch in side!! i really like this spoiler but it is so god damn hard to photograph.... in the light in the shop and the flash it make sit look whiter than it actually is ... weird.... anyway the oettys
