like mentioned earlier don't pay until until your happy, to get rid of deep scratches where the repaired arch has been welded in, means sanding back the panel. Then starting by using primer filler and flattening the panel down again so its perfect before applying the base coat then the laquer. Try find a garage that deals with restorations for older cars as i've found that the painters tend to take more pride in their work and will be willing to show you examples of their work.

both cars looking good, the alfa looks well mean
-
the back bumpers normally sit quite tight with little gap at all, but the fronts tend to have a drop gap where the bumper sits below the wing, you cant adjust the gap unless you adjust the bracket points where the bumper ends slide onto.
-
tell them the paintwork looked better before they started.........£1500 for a shady paint job, i wouldn't pay them nothing until they sorted it out to the standard you expected.
-
yeah no probs mate, the one i've done is actually a late spec one (in the pics) if i don't use it then i'll pm you
-
i plastic welding the recess first then skimmed it with some plastic padding fibre glass, heres some pics of mine.
-
can a bush replacement kit be bought from gsf as they do one for the mk2 golf but don't have one listed for the corrado.
-
looking good just need a patio table in the back to finish of the look
-
very smart , loving the merc wing vent looks so right with the corrado lines
-
tidy example, body work looks like its in good condition for its age.

if you aint already make sure you waxoil the inner wings as you would be suprised to see how much crap can build up without the inner guards,.I ran my polo without these due to the lips being cut off the wings, just make sure you jet under the wings regulary

welcome to the forum, try jabba sport for the conversion module to get the rev counter working on the original corrado clocks
-
i'll need to get it double checked as my sparkies were black when i changed them yesterday, think its slighty over fueling, when i accelerate quick and put the clutch down the revs come down slowly is that a sign over overfueling? Can normally hear a hissing noise when i turn the engine off, checked for vaccum leaks but couldn't find any might be the drilled airbox releasing the pressure?

Does my 1.8 valver need an emissions test for mot, if so what the limit before it fails as my car is set up rich from when i was running the 16vt lump, co2 is set at 2ish.
-
i need to do the ones on my valver, heard the compensator valve is the hardest part.
-
as in any mk3 with rear discs? can i keep the existing hand brake cables or do i need mk3 ones.
-
i got mine from an audi 80
-
checked my lancaster classic policy and apparantley some policies with them build ncb and others don't, luckily mine does.
-
I'm with lancaster with my corrado they were well cheaper than other insurers as they classify the corrado as a classic (or any car thats atleast 12 years old), i hope the classis ncb can be used when i switch to a standard policy though..
