cmalyan 11 Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Gave it a much needed polish, using Bilt Hamber auto-clay, followed by Poorboy's World Black Hole and finishing off with Collinite 476s wax. http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n527/cmalyan/Corrado/image_7.jpeg http://s1138.photobucket.com/user/cmalyan/media/Corrado/image_6.jpeg.html Edited July 9, 2016 by cmalyan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JEZR 10 Posted July 10, 2016 More a case of what I didn't do to my Corrado today. VWJay wanted to use his new buffer and all the doodoo juice, waxes and polishes known to man. The GNU came up a treat after a five hour session! Cheers J J in his case buffing my old girl! Phnaaaar! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JEZR 10 Posted July 10, 2016 Ah! I tucked her away as soon as I was back. She won't be out until the Sherborne show! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hisnibs 10 Posted July 21, 2016 Stuck the dual borla on and had a tidy underneath. Nice scaffold pole hanging out the back now :lol: , but saying that, in the flesh it looks really quite good. Pics are misleading sometimes. Oh and the fan module arrived as I was tidying up so hopefully the cooling is finally sussed. Wish that Techtonics sealant stuff would bladdy hurry up and cure, bladdy tease. Not sure how long to leave it tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZpog 10 Posted July 25, 2016 Wire brushed and painted the G60 callipers, getting them ready for upgrading the valver. Before:- [ATTACH=CONFIG]84184[/ATTACH] After:- [ATTACH=CONFIG]84185[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted July 25, 2016 Wire brushed and painted the G60 callipers, getting them ready for upgrading the valver. Before:- [ATTACH=CONFIG]84184[/ATTACH] After:- [ATTACH=CONFIG]84185[/ATTACH] I'd pop the pistons out before fitting them and check for peeling chrome and rust, the chrome plate and rust will score the seals and damage them over time. If the pistons are OK (unlikely) then I'd fit a new seal kit and bleed nipple. These cars are a bugger to bleed, so I'd fit one side, bleed it until the pedal feels good with the engine running then fit the other side, that way if you have a soggy pedal you'll have an idea of which side is giving you a problem.

Oh right, I'd ignore the above then, the post was meant for us hobby mechanics to try and prevent problems with bleeding (and premature failure) after fitting. What paint did you use? In the past I've used hammerite but it chips easily Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What paint did you use? In the past I've used hammerite but it chips easily I'm far too lazy for hobby mechanics, especially on the parts needed for stopping. Used Halfords calliper paint. Goes on really thin so needs a few coats but seems ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reggiebaby 10 Posted July 25, 2016 In the last week I have gone from looking at a sticking rear caliper to removing most of the rear end, brakes, rear axel (gone for sand blasting and powder coating), fule tank and suspension just a case now of putting it back together time to spend some money.

Worth upgrading the rear callipers to those from a MK4 golf as less prone to sticking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reggiebaby 10 Posted July 25, 2016 Yep looking at upgrading brakes, suspension, exhaust (any recommendations welcome) replacing axel bushes and under seal the whole area. Could be off the road for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be off the road for a while. Recent exhaust thread should give you some ideas, I personally like the jetex resonated system fitted to mine. Suspension depends on what your looking for and how much you wish to spend but I like my AP's which some have recently bought at a good price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reggiebaby 10 Posted July 25, 2016 Been reading through the exhaust and suspension theads almost to much info, as far as suspension looking to keep it comfy but would like to lower a little just for looks really. What are the ap like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are the ap like? Much less crashy that the cheapo coil overs I had fitted before, but still quite harsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
