Glad you got back safe. Shame I didn't get to meet you in person, all the best with her mate. I'll be looking for your build thread

Heritage have one listed http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_spares_Badge-VW-Roundel-Chrome-Corrado-89-95-357853601_act_shop.product_pID_122340045_lang_EN_country_GB.htm but no stock The part number on there is 357853601, but that doesn't bring up an exact match from Classic parts http://www.vwheritage.com/vw_act_vwclassicParts.search.htm?classicSearchText=357853601 It changes to 357853601B041 , which I think is a black badge?

It's the black cable going to the arm with teeth on it (in the last picture) that is stiff
-
Two of the cables seem to move fine, make a solid noise at each end of their travel but one is a bit sticky but I'm not sure if it's the cable or something else. The cable moves okay, just needs more effort, but if you move the arm manually it still doesn't seem to move right. This one Just need to find out what else the issue might be
-
Passenger side came out just as easy, another half a dozen screws
-
Random piece of cloth stuck behind the dash???
-
You can see the cables actually go round to the passenger side
-
Had a quick look at the bowden cables on the heater control today. I wasn't looking forward to it but it's not too bad so far. The cables look like they go down the drivers side The tray under the dash came out nice and easy, the fuse box cover was already off, half a dozen screws and the rest came out in one piece
-
Got my stereo lead (eBay again), once I've sorted the heater and put the dash back in I can get the head unit fitted. I have just noticed I've been a bit dense though, this head unit doeasn't have multi-changer control :bonk:
-
Two of the cables move nicely and you get a good 'thunk' noise at each end of their travel, but one is a bit 'stickier'. It moves but needs a lot more effort. It doesn't appear to be the cable but I'm not sure where else to start looking. This one Any ideas please?
-
Cheers mate. Too out the under dash covers, started on the drivers side as that is the way the cables lead from behind the heater control Only to find they go round the back to the passenger side

£25 posted for the sunroof motor? -
I'll get coilovers sorted before I decide on the chin spoiler. Just got a nice anodised blank to replace the rear wiper. Hopefully I'll get a chance to get that on at the weekend.
-
Yeah, the wheels were bad, but I sold them for £100 on eBay I'm a child, I like pointless lows My golfs sill, you can't get your foot under it
-
I'll wait until I've got the coilovers on and then see how she looks, it just doesn't look like you can get the front very low with that jimmy hill chin on the front
-
I think that's it upto date now, I've had her for about four months, progress is moderate but as quick as funds allow. (Plus I'm building a golf as well) Spent last weekend putting the headlining back in, gave the inside a proper clean yesterday, binned the Ripspeed mats and put some plain black carpet mats in. Iv've got a complete set of exhaust rubbers to fit, he old ones are really hanging, they look like a goths earlobe. I need to get the sunroof motor rebuilt. I've just pulled out the heater controls and bought a good (hopefully) used unit from on here, shoud be with me in about a week. Need to get some new cables as well. Period Sony headunit should be with me during the week. Ordered a rear wiper blank and I'll be removing the rear wiper motor and arm once that arrives. Need to get some coilovers, probably remove the front lower spoiler as well. Hopefully she'll be looked at next week to see if someone can get her running properly. The plan is to get her all good for winter then use her while I take the golf off the road to do a few bits (can't take a cabby off the road now, we've actually got a summer for a change!!)

I still need to finish removing the remains of the sticky crap holding the side trims on :roll:
