the same thing happen to me, so i called them and demanded to pay the first quote, in the end they agreed to it. So try doing that..

got any more pics of the beast? Bad news about the turbo...

Vibratech engine mounts defo! I got my engine back in at the weekend and they are so stiff you need 2 people to get the front mount on! My engine hardly moves at all in the bay under load! Worth the £££ imo !

A1 news mate.. lets have some pics!!!!!!

A truly stunning corrado! good effort chap!

Thats going to be a mad car matey, keep the pics coming :)

looking good!

thanks chap!

ok cool.. I will be there on sunday (good weather), call me..

pull the end casing off.. 4/5 11mm bolts and see if you can pull the selector for 5th up and down... disconnect the shifter before doing this.. Let me know what happens? Will need to drain the gearbox oil as well.

Added a couple of pics now :)

Thanks guys.. obviously if people want to know anything we have missed then let us know and we will try and advise were possible.. I need to add something about the weather :D

just gone back for some more paint bits hopefully will be at santa pod this weekend only got carpet and seats to put in, sling the bbs on jobs good!,,,oh and 2 tonnes of wax to put on as well! I will see you there then (as long as its nice weather).. no C, but might take the tractor (tdi) down the strip and see what its capable off.. 19 sec 1/4 ??? lol

I used the body colour in the end, which is Porsche Iris Blue. Seemed the best choice!

Wow look at that! Awesome stuff lee! Whats next for a swim in the chrome tank?

You obviously didn't read this bit then ???

See the guide here - http://www.coupehaus.co.uk/worthersee_page.html

Thanks Paul I'll get that changed!

Cheers chap.. I'm not sure whether I will be hiding the wiring. I know the headlight loom will be hidden but not sure about the engine harness yet... My main aim was to tidy the bay but keep it pratical at the same time. I'm ordering a bolt kt for the crown wheel (final drive) so I can swap over the VR6 item to the rallye diff, then I will be putting the gearbox back together, so will let you know how I get on Bill.. How's yours coming, done any more on it since NR last month?

Ok here we go.. some pics from this weekend! I got the engine bay prepping finished, painted it and laquered it (6-7 coats) done on sat. Will need to let it harden off for a week or so before I flat it back and polish it. See sneek pic for results.. very happy with the look. 2 pac laquer is awesome stuff, makes the paint look and feel so deep! Also got all the ali bits on the engine painted at the same time. So today, I got both my rallye and VR6 gearbox's stripped. See pics. The VR6 gears stacks are a straight swap, I will need to swap over the VR6 crown wheel to the rallye diff as they are slightly different. Other than that I should be able to have VR6 gears in my rallye box, which I'm happy about. Will need to buy the crown wheel/diff bolt kit from VW and drill out the old rivets. A few new bearings and a shim or two and it will be done! Syncro's and gears look fine... So its getting there... A very productive weekend!

I'm very lucky, I have the use of a Mk4 Tdi for day to day driving. But once the C hits the road that will be my only form of transport.

any news on your engine Sam? B

hehe, :D Will give you a call tomorrow if time allows, B

ok.. what a day! Engine bay painted and laquered using 2 pac! 7 layers of laquer! I have a few drips though that need flatting back :( Also painted and laquered the engine bits, (all the ali bits off the engine) ... And I got the VR6 box semi stripped down ! Not bad for one days work, pics tomorrow! Tomorrow I hope to finish stripping the VR6 gearbox and strip the rallye one. Then work out what bits will fit. Also want to paint the engine block.. lots to do, so little time in which to do it! Ben

everyone is looking at the other corrado.. :lol: :lol: :wink:
