What needs doing to your Corrado?

Recommended Posts

Ive done pretty much everything I can to my valver. Just needs:

 

This rusty holey bit on drivers front wing sorted.

Clear Repeaters (xmas)

3 slat grill (xmas)

Get in the boot and sort out the b83937d rattles.

New front pads, and hence disks.

 

The main issue is not having to sell the bugger to pay off the debts i accumulated by spending wildly on it.

 

Here's to staying in!

Now I know how to take the whole front end of the car apart and have a screw left over :wink:

 

All done by yours truly and must I say a massssssssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvveee thanks to all thee royal supporters on here and G-Werks/PitStop for the charger.

to do:

-stop all rattles inside car

-get new leather front door cards (the preious owner cut holes in them for speakers that dont fit - muppets)

-fix my guage cluster lights (i cannot figure out why they are not working - worked fine in my other car.)

-replace side marker bulb

-install my solid front motor mount

-upgrade headlights either to european spec, golf rallye, or bmw e36's

-find a red vr6 hood or a nice carbon fiber one (to possibly do a light red coat over to give it a red transparent color)

-a full car respray

-get a hold of a golf rallye or huge FMIC (i decided against the BBM liquid to air kit because on hot days the air would be hot as hell)

-install all of my stereo equipment (kenwood mp3/cd player, boston speakers, 2 12 inch subs in the rear, 600w amp)

-possibly look into a 1.9 or 2.0 bottom end to swap in

 

thats really all i can think of as of right now. this is going to cost my right hand to pay for everything i need. =\
