No mate they came undone super nice actually

[ATTACH]76876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76878[/ATTACH] Heres mine , 30 to 40 percent water change every other week and thats it , about once every 2 1/2 months i empty the lot and give it a good clean , that much rock hides a lot of crap

Looks amazing mate well done for keeping it the way you do , the way you do haha i think most people would frown on that but if it work then why not well done

Sorry sean didnt see you there , i used a jack and a piece of 3x2 wood about a food and a half long and just supported it down the moddle of the tank basically just squashing it up to the bottom of the car , i put an axle stand under the left side of it aswell as its got about 40 liters of petrol in the tank Ohh and i use a very heavy duty grade sanding disk on a high speed grinder , then went down to a soft grade sanding disk and then a softer emri cloth kind of disk Make sure you red oxide them once you have gone down to bare metal it will keep the rust away

Haha yea mate cheers for that bit of help just wanted to check i wasnt going to fry anything haha Makes a world of difference though deffo glad i bought it

Im sure the trip to stealth will end alot of the worries mate , hopefully anyway , vince seemed pretty happy to help you after your first impressions , lets hope he works that stealth magic everyone talks about

Id camp if there was camping , im not playng sping the bottle with you lot though

I was only kidding mate this thing your making makes me a little scared but a bit exited ! But more scared i think haha

Ohh almost forgot that its been in for repair aswell after some nugget decide to hit it on the rear quarter [ATTACH]76871[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]76875[/ATTACH]

Few updates for the car over the festive period and after being a slob for a bit decided to actually move out the house and do something to the car , first i fitted the uprated headlight loom which has made a massive difference and afyer going for a blast last night i cant believe the difference its made , just need to get some better bulbs i think Today i had the tank straps off ! Been on my to do list for ages and iv just been putting it off for ..... Well , 2 1/2 years lol Started by stripping them down to bare metal then red oxided them and them two coats of quick dry hammerite then back on the car Also had all the seats out the other day and finally screwed the center console down so its now solid and rattle free and it lines up perfect it couldnt fit better Also relocated the controll box for the schrick as directed by vince from stealth and re wrapped the connectors and plugs with self algamating tape so its all neat and sealed up Gave the engine bay a bit of a clean up as it was grafted and thats it Few photos

Happy days ill be there

Are we missing a post here or have i missed something !!

500 was a couple of months ago going to Stealth haha Was that when you was trying to keep up with another corrado but you just didnt have the power in your car ;)) haha Good work tho mate hope the clutch settle in for ya , looking forward to seeing the results after stealth keep this updated mate

Welcome along mate

Looks like big plans mate i can see where your coming from with taking the engine out , means you can get all the little bits tidied up and how you want them , are you going to paint the block and all that goes with it , i always thought a nice freshly painted engine looks ace Good look with it though keep us updated

As in the front crossmember / front subframe , there are four bushes one at each corner , now its been said im probobly going to look out for a second beam to bush up ready for install so i can just swap it over Wich is no daubt going to lead to getting a rear beam aswell ! Ill order all new bolts for the wishbones then if there a pig to get out

Chris I wish I had the space and time frame but unfortunately it will more than likely be a strip down a rebuild but I would like to do that Mic I thought you had read that wrong , mostly standard bushes mate , is the subframe bushes a big job then ? Does the engine have to come out or just be held in place with one of those braces that span from wing to wing ? Or can they be replaced easier than that The rear beam bushes will be done I'll be buying those pretty soon but I'm concentrating my cash at the fron of the car first before it runs out

Ohh and let me know about those wishbones mate

Excellent advice James super cooper haha Mic my old car had the wishbones done but that's it so I've not felt a full car done , I've already purchased the power flex rack mount ages ago and the only thing that I was contemplating was the middle front anti roll bar mounts all the rest of the car will be lemforder parts which are one of the best parts suppliers other than dealership but from what I have read even some dealer parts are now lemforder Cheers old hag I'll put them on my list , is it an important job to do the subframe mounts ? I wasn't going to do them as I didn't want to delve that deep but if I must then I will , how hard of a job is it and will the engine have to come out ? This is where I need advice really as it's a bit daunting

Anyone , any advice at all

Sorry in advance !!basically I'm ordering parts for some kind of a rebuild and could do with a little help and advice on maybe what I should be adding to my list , I've got a pretty good idea of what I need and would like some confirmation I'm heading along the right route So my list up to now go's like this , what I have ordered and what I think I want and need I have ordered the following parts Sachs clutch kit , hopefully I'll be adding a lightend flywheels and 3.68 final drive X2 drop links X2 ball joints X2 track rod ends X2 front wish bone bushes X2 golf r32 rear bushes All the above in lemforder brand Power flex steering rack mount I need some advice on anti roll bar bushes as I want to power flex those ! Is this a good idea I was hoping it might stiffen the roll a bit ?? Your thoughts ?? And if not what brand ? Do I need to replace the actuall track rod or will they be ok there 40 quid each one and from a make I've never heard off off carpartsforless or will just replacing the rod end be ok ?? Also is it a major job to change the subframe mounts or would they be ok ? Car has 115000 on the clock Wheel bearings all seem ok so no need to change those and I'm not running massive wide wheels That's all I was going to change on the front but also was going to order lemforder rear beam bushes I'm aiming the car at fast road use so any thoughts would be more than welcomed and thanked Cheers in advance

Cool just ordered the Sachs one so it's good to hear they are ok , for some reason I always doubt the parts I'm buying I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thin Also had a load of other stuff on order and with anything over 100 quid if you type in cp15less in the discounts you get 15 quid off so I look at it as I just got my clutch for 56 quid

Cheers for the advice think I'll go for the Sachs one then as they both seem the good option

Just wondering what you guys would choose , I could do with all the cash I can get right now as it's going to be spent on parts all over the car Anyway I can get the Valero one for 100 quid or I can get the Sachs clutch for 70 The only thing that seperates it for me is that advice from kev haywire was that the Valeo one did not not give any clutch judder !! I personally have no experience of either but if like to get the best one ideally for the best price Your thoughts please
