  1. Hi Tom... apologies... I only need the long section that goes under the handbrake and finishes at the rear ashtray... when I asked I had in my mind there was 2 bits. If you can let me know the total now and I'll get the money over to you. Cheers. Jon
  2. No shows this year James... never really been my thing. 2 of my alloys are now shagged thanks to some bint deciding the middle of the road was theirs to own and do as they please with. I met the curb with a crash bang wallop. Rear is curbed, front is very kurbed and possibly a bit bent. Nice chunk out my sidewall too! Westwoods are back on for the time being. Decided to clean the front arches while changing them over (did the back not long ago). Bit of oven cleaner and all is well. The KW shocks and springs I painted in POR15 and Plastidip about 2 years ago are holding up very nicely. No corrosion, chips etc. As the sun was out at the weekend I decided it was a good time to clean my carpets. this quickly escalated to having most of my interior on the drive. The colour of the water coming out of the carpets was like coke... yuk! Started to wire in my amp and speakers while everything is out. Made some MDF/Fibreglass Door pods a while ago. Both doors are now (creatively, not prettily... I like to think of it as abstract in aesthetic) dynamated. Got to wire up the left speakers. Rear sub and amp enclosures to follow. In the process of making pods for the tweeters to sit in the dash spaces. Checked the right side after all was hooked up and sounds nice. Sound proofing pads on the drivers side had disintegrated so have been chucked and some new stuff ordered. There is some waxy stuff randomly poured in places on the drivers side floor. It's manky and started to crack in places but I'm guessing its the equivalent of waxoyl and so I'm reluctant to remove it. Cleaned all the insulation pad felt crap off. The bracket for the left foot rest was rusted like buggery. Cleaned it up and painted it but may well source a better one. The floor it bolts onto seems sound so not sure why this has happened! More progress and possibly some pics (if I remember to do either) will follow.
  3. Need a few little bits and bobs... 4 x white clips that slide onto the interior door/carpet/sill trim thing (sure that's the correct name for it! Ha) Centre Tunnel 2 rear parts (ashtray bit and handbrake under tunnel part) 10 x interior screws (the black domed phillips head ones) 2 x door card side screws Cheers
  4. May well be very interested in the Azev's depending on condition shown in the better pics to come.
  5. Will listen to offers... Bump before they go on eBay
  6. All fixed after my small bump. Replaced the front bumper, n/s wing and slam panel. Had the whole front end painted along with the rear bumper and plinth. After refurbing and polishing the the deep dish wheels I bought I changed my mind and sold them as they just looked too small on the Corrado. Shoulda really tried them first but I learned how to metal polish etc so was all experience. When I bought the replacement body panels from Yacobwood I also picked up some Azev A 16's. :) Really happy with both the wheels and the paint. Colour match is good and the finish is almost factory.
  7. Just need a pair of rear carriers. Collect local to Solihull/Birmingham or posted please Cheers
  8. Sorry, just realised my location isn't under my name! All parts located in Solihull, West Midlands
  9. Yeah they'll be dipped before painting and fitting all back together etc ---------- Post added at 4:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 3:53 PM ---------- Just read that the rears wind in... gonna get the tool to do it so please ignore this request.
  10. No air gun, not foot pump, no air! Used grease before as read on the internet people had used it before and I have grease and a gun already.
  11. Yeah got the gun... pressed the grease down the hose before... wasn't sure if it would work direct into the hole (for want of a better word!)
  12. Any old standard one will do... need it to connect to the calipers to get the piston out with a grease gun. Cheers
  13. If the wishbones are VW and not oe ones and are solid I'll take them to refurb please mate. Could you let me know a price once you have them off? Also need the front plastic deflector/guard thing that sits behind the bumper/grille in front of the radiator. Drivers side one.
  14. So it's been a while! After an accident in March screwing my passenger side wing, headlight, bumper, grille and slam panel, the car is currently residing in my local bodyshop. While it's there I opted to have the whole front end resprayed along with a couple of touch ups and the rear bumper and plinth sprayed. It's been 3 weeks as the paint man seems to keep pushing mine back to do trade cars... not exactly great for me but I was recommended by more than 1 person and he's promised me this week. Other than that.... KW springs and shocks are on (pictured above). Stripped down and painted in POR15 which after a year or so seems to be rust free and protecting them nicely. Springs were covered with PlastiDip which again seems to be holding up nicely. Lowered the car to a nice level (can still get over speed bumps) and ride is firm but not boneshaking. Was running on original alloys but have some new Azev A 16's to go on after the bodyshop work. Trimmed the headlining in faux black suede after cleaning the original one and then watching it sag like Charlie Dimmocks lady sacks. Rear humped bench to be fitted. Sound system in the process of being installed... Alpine IDAX311 Ipod Headunit, Boston Acoustics 4 channel amp, PHD 5.25" Components, JBL 10" GT4 Sub. Built some mdf baffles to attach the speakers to the door rather than the door card. Going to build an enclosure in the side of the boot similar to the audioscape one for the sub. Rest of the week in week out jobs are boring, keep-the-thing-running tasks. Will get some pics up once I've got the car back and the Azev's on.
  15. Early Front Bumper - £30 (collection only) Started to be sanded. Stripped of splitter, bumper iron and grille section... Plastic bumper only. Solid, no cracks, splits or chunks missing. All bumper iron tabs in tact. [ATTACH]65649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65653[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65657[/ATTACH] Late Badgeless Grille - £5 (£8 posted) Missing 2 top tabs as shown in pics [ATTACH]65661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65665[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65669[/ATTACH] Late Slam Panel - £10 (collection only) Lots of surface rust. Still solid but will need blasting or dipping I'd have thought. Pretty sure it's late type and it's not a VR6 one. [ATTACH]65673[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65681[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65689[/ATTACH] Early Passenger Side Wing - £30 (collection only) Very solid, not much surface rust at all, definitely no rot. Some primer to protect metal where paint has been sanded off. [ATTACH]65693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65697[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65701[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65705[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]65713[/ATTACH]
  16. Agree with Peter. I browse the net 99% of the time on my iPhone or iPad. Granted many people have pcs but worth bearing in mind that no mobile apple devices support flash and so your cutting off ALL mobile apple users.
  17. Was really interested in this to replace my 8v.... Very nice lady (and i mean Lady, sure she actually had the title) answered the phone speaking the finest Queens English..... SOLD! Went like a flash she said. Bugger! Hope the new owner looks after it. Looked a beaut!
  18. Will take the bumper Will take the wing provided there's no rust Will probably take the slam as it'll be resprayed and the dent can be repaired (can I confirm whether I will take it or not when I collect the other bits?) Will also take the wheels if the first person to inquire doesn't want them Will pm you to arrange
  19. Cracks on the bumper only look light, are there any major ones? Is the passenger wing rust/dent free? Is the aqua slam panel straight and rust free? Need prices for collection as well please Cheers
  20. If Robbo doesn't want them and you can do it for £60 all in I'll take them. Cheers
