goozie

Any chance i could have another 2 sets?

blame me why don't you, i didn't have much arm twisting to do lol welcome to the forums mate, i'll be up with that black carpet for the rado later.

4/august/1985 was madonna into the groove!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZrLJXp3nYiE

spotted this one on the polegate bypass at about 4pm M*** KPK

Spotted this one on the M25 going anti clockwise at about 12.30pm just before the M23 junction i was the one in the silver transit that was gorping out the window! with the thumb up

spotted yesterday at 6.30am, a dark blue C not sure of the bread as was parked up a side road near covent gardens but did get part of the reg L208 ***

No worries dragon, with so many people there it was hard to find the time to chat with everybody, next time i won't give you such a lead!! and maybe i could win the race home :)

That would have been me! you left a bit before me and i got caught by every damn red let there was trying to catch you up lol, typical to catch up as you was taking the slip road off :(

What a great day, well done to all who put this together and made it work, was nice to actually put some names to faces and cars,

I see that there are a few people organising to meet and head to brookland as a convoy, but i see no one heading from the south east, i will be heading up the A21 and joining the M25 at junction 5 if anyone would like to meet up on route??

Finally started a job i have been wanting to do for a while and that was clean the door cards, i got hold of some saddle soap, sponge and some leather balm, removed door cards and got to work as i had the cards off i also put in some new door speakers, nothing speacial but they fitted like a glove, with no cutting or jiggin required, olny a bit of slef adhesive foam to stop any rattling!! between the speaker and holder, As i was getting in to my cleaning the seats came out, yes out!! so i could clean them properly, so as the seats where out i clean the carpets with a bit of carpet cleaner, then had the idea to install one of dave16v's handbrake repair brackets, with seats being removed made the job alot easier, (sorry dave had no 3.5mm drill so used tex bolts but work just aswell) i was getting carried away by this point, so cleaned all the plastics that was removed with a bit of fairy liquid and a plastic brillo sponge made light work of the dirt and came up well i even scrubbed the dash board! and door shut plastics, Even with all that i even had time to install a center sunvisor, but before i could do that i had to respray it as it was grey and not cream which made it stand out like a sore thumb, the spray i used was plastic primer (white) with a cream spray from halfrauds and was pleased with the end result

saw L*** mug going clockwise on the M25, between jctn 8 and claketts at about 11.45 this morning,

as promised a pic, you'll have to excuse the few finger marks as i have just been servicing her,

The tunnel trim and door handle repair kit from dave16v are spot on, the uprated loom is a must to, and a mod i did myself to save buying new headlights was to make metal brakets to strengthen the plastic ones on the head lights as my drivers one kept breaking even after repairing it!! pic below. would love it if dave16v could reproduce these as i would like them to be a bit more shiny!! nudge nudge dave

i have just become a member and paid the fee's but have to wait for approval, so can't register for the brooklands event, hopefully there will still be space to register once i have been approved!?? so hope to see you all there.

very funny and no it wasn't my specalist parking lol

Stop at a local vw and audi breakers on the way home to see what the had in stock and to my amazment and sadness they had at least a couple of C's, but i did get a almost brand new looking ABS dash light and some binnicle screw covers for a tenner :-) And for those that may be interested they have what i believe to be an original vw oil pressure and volts gauage unit for the lower part of the dash, i may be mistaken for original but it does have what looks like the authentic corrado written on the front, if anyone is interested in it or any other parts that they may have on the cars, as the do post things as well give them a call on 01903850924 they also have a web site that you can cotact them through http://www.audivwparts.co.uk

i used halfords rover/ pulasr silver then sealed it with petrol resistant lacquer, and fairly im pressed with the result, will take a picture this afternoon andput it up

try these guys, i got mine from them and pleased with the quality, unit 3 tuning 07833297640

Good suggestion, was defenatly worth the long drive up, was good to meet some new faces and old, and if there is another one at the krispy kreme i'll be up for it.

will good to see how many die hards turn up!!!

i'm still up for meeting even if i did spend all day thursday polishing the car!

yeh but you know what the british weather forecasts are like!!!! i'm going to see what it is like on the day? and will probably still make the journey up even if it's raining

Decided to start the weekend early and get a few niggling joba done today specially as i had booked a day at a friends workshop to use there spare ramp, first job was a full service, plugs,oil and petrol filter, engine and gearbox oil change, and replaced the old sump plug with a new magnectic one, no need for air filter as i have a cone filter and i wash and re'oil regularly,i aslo changed the filter media that i have above my air intake for the cabin as it was rott it's amazing how dirty it gets, really surprised that vw didn't put a cabin filter in!! the media i get from work as i'm an air filtration engineer, lucky i suppose? Next job was a full brake disc and pad change along with new rear wheel bearings and front abs sensors, whilst i was at it i also cleaned up the calipers, Then it was time to attack my drivers door! rattling windows and door catch not working properly! so i replaced the door catch with one i brought from swompy and now the door closes perfect, removed the door card to acces the window rollers was a bit dubious at first as i thought i might have to take the window out but just popped the ball from the roller with a leaver bar slid the old roller out slid the new ones in squeezed them back in and now no rattly window :-) still have more jobs to do but not today lol
