I am running D90's on mine, personally, think they really suit the rado... I have 7j on the fornt and 8j on the rear, I think they are all et53 and I have 10mm spacers on the front and 15or 20mm spacers on the rear. Then I have 195 tyres which have a nice little bit of stretch on the 8j rears, fronts fit pretty flush. Only picture I have to hand is on my thread (in the signature) on page 13, it looks better in real life as the car sits lower with an engine inside.

struggling to keep anything clean at the minute! I have now sprayed the inlet manifold too so that also looks nice and shiny, will try and get a pic up soon, starting on the brake servo and lines Monday and Tuesday hopefully! Things might just be starting to come together on this build now...

I used to have the monte 2's on mine, I found they were just too skinny and didn't look quite right at certain angle's, but a nice wheel. I now have D90's on and really really like the look of them, pictures somewhere in my build thread of the Rado with both sets of shoes on...

Some more progress today...thanks goes to Russ (again). Shes sat on the drive feeling very sorry for herself CAR PARTS!!!!! Current progress...just ordered a few more of the little niggly bits but on the whole its starting to take shape.... The working environment...

I took a slightly more "lets see what happens if" approach. I took the old headlining out and jet sprayed it, then snow foam, and jet spray again to rinse.. left it a while to dry out and then sprayed it with some fabric spray from amazon. Its come up really quite nice, a little rough to touch but how often do you touch it? My fabric hasn't lifted at all and no sags, its been in the car about a year too now...food for thought...

When you've finished mine.... In all seriousness though, Russ (20vtvw) knows what he is doing if you choose not to do yourself...Check his and mine build threads, mine is R32 and his is vrt...

southerner88 replied to VAG-hag's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
Got a feeling this is going to be a good show this year :thumbleft: -
need parts to go...they are funding the r32, so even if you don't need them, please buy them so I can get the rado back on the road... :smug::cheers::thumbleft:

I know a few people on here are also on the facebook pages so probably added a fair few of you already...I've been putting pics of the my rado's progress up on instagram...also been looking at other people's cars and projects which has been cool to see everyone else's rado pics progress. I am southerner88 on instagram, would be cool to add more of you all if you are on there, see what your rado is up to :thumbleft:

mine was a LAMBDA issue - somehow. Car would cut out, then would drive for a bit before cutting out again. After much trial and error, unplugging the LAMBDA stopped it from happening, so I just drove about without the LAMBDA as didn't have time to investigate why this was the case...
-
swear words, and lots of them.
-
that was the problem with mine - it fell out! somehow and very fortunately it found its way to the back of the bay and stayed there for me to find...
-
youve done well to only have one chip! so far I think my only skill on a Corrado is to chip the paint....
-
Well, a little bit more done....
-
Yeah that looks ok, will look fine with smooth bay i think! Will have a ganders on good old ebay :-) cheers dude
-

Yeah but look how shiny it all is!!!! [emoji23] [emoji106]
-
To be honest im glad you asked for the before and after..didnt realise just how grubby it was before [emoji2] [emoji106]
-
The battery is going in the boot to try and keep the bay as empty as possible, there are a few photos on previous pages of individual sections from start to finish but this is the general idea....
-
Hahaha well technically mine was a home visit.....
-
Rattle can, got it online from paints4u, bit pricey but the paint is a lot vetter than the halfords paint, russ's recommendation again!
-
AND ITS PAINTED!!! Properly happy with how this looks...start on the engine side of things soon [emoji4] (Russ takes credit for the painting - cheers dude! [emoji106] )
