dalhalvaig 0 Posted November 1, 2013 MOT. Passed with no advisories. Pretty chuffed. Basically been washing it and filling it with fuel this last year, plus a wheel bearing. Replaced a cracked windscreen and had the rotten steel cut out and new welded in and some painting which came to about £800 all in, but if the screen hadn't cracked wouldn't have been doing it so, £140 inc MOT and some sundries isn't bad for a year's motoring on some thing that can't depreciate. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EmGreenVR6 0 Posted November 2, 2013 Finished painting the driveshaft, wishbones and caliper mounts with Hammerite, ready for reassembly with 2 new CV joints and all new boots tomorrow. Investigated boot panel leak. Bought VR6 headlights and grille on ebay. Took gear gaiter surround off for respraying a scuff. Can't wait until we start putting it back together!

kerrly 0 Posted November 2, 2013 I've been spending a bit more time sorting my new VR6; - removed the awful amp kit and refitted OE stereo connectors and reinstalled the headunit. - fixed the ashtray lid and release button - fitted a Fisher CD holder. - sorted out the sticky boot lock so it opens on the central locking again. - organised the jack/spare wheel kit so it doesn't rattle - booked it in for a extensive detailing session - picked up some original Speedlines , now trying to decide on what colour. A mate is trying to convince me to polish them.... - fitted new blue expansion bottle lid - purchased new coolant - screwed the 6x9s down, I wasn't happy about the 6x9s but until i sort a new parcel shelf I at least one them screwed in and not rattling. - cleaned the inner arches and fuel cap surround - literally scraping handfuls of mud and leaves out. - removed half forest worth of leaves from the scuttle tray - topped up the PAS fluid, brake fluid (although this will all be replaced soon) but some screen wash in. If the weather holds up tomorrow I hope to finish cleaning up the interior and treating the leather. It's so exciting having a new toy:-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dollyman 10 Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) What I did to my Corrado today? After 6 months I finally drove the bloody thing again :dance: having finally sorted out my seized rear calliper/ carrier etc which I do not think I could possibly have done without the support and advice of forum members, so huge thanks to everyone who helped. Ermmm.....now on with the other side :D Cheers Jeff Edited December 1, 2013 by Dollyman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrly 0 Posted December 1, 2013 Did plenty this weekend. - fitted new ignition switch - fitted new coil pack - fitted new secondary water pump - fitted new expansion bottle + fresh coolant - repaired PCV filter box - the plastic box next to the ISV - mine had split and was leaking so bad the engine would barely run - fitted new air filter - cleaned ISV/Throttle body/intake pipe - cleaned ten tonnes of leafs out of the scuttle from around the ECU, cleaned ECU cage - cleaned every single earth, the battery terminals and repaired any damaged loom tape Most importantly , I took it for it's first test drive since fitting the new slave cylinder, bleeding the brakes, topping the power steering fluid up - it was BRILLIANT. So so smoooth the power delivery and throttle response are significantly better than when I first acquired the car, the brakes have more force, the clutch is a delight. I'm so chuffed I'm giving it a probation period of a week before I think about more upgrades..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
