Excellent :) I've done a bit more loom wrapping and engine bay detailing today. Nothing exciting. Had some plans for something else but some of the bits didn't turn up...

Ninjasean2005 10 Posted February 8, 2015 Well it's been a busy weekend for me and my mate. We have done loads of work on the Corrado, the list is as follows: New wish bone with R32 bushes in. New ball joints. New drop links. New track rod ends. New sump and oil windage tray. New water pump and thermostat. New rotar are and dizzy cap. New HT leads 8mm and iridium spark plugs. Uprated headlight loom. Fresh oil and filter. New Lupo GTI Wiper arms and blades. Hopefully this should keep the G60 running sweet for a while :dance: Looking to the future it is going to be a charger rebuild, fit my full grey leather interior and lowering shocks and springs.

Diesel2000 10 Posted February 14, 2015 No, someone had spilled oil in the past so it has to come out. Floors are solid though and nothing leaks at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Mather 10 Posted March 30, 2015 Fitted a new heater matrix ,what a scary job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon263 0 Posted April 5, 2015 Finally got round to fitting a Mk4 Golf expansion tank and Porsche oil and coolant caps............. can't understand why it took so long. Be aware that the Porsche coolant cap will not fit the standard expansion tank, only the later tank with the blue cap. Well pleased with the result even if it's only because I can actually unscrew the coolant cap by hand! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeVR 10 Posted April 5, 2015 Put the finishing touches (missing clips etc) onto the dash and other interior trim, interior is fully functional now and with all the correct clips and fittings. Fixed the recline operation on passenger Recaro, prepped the car ready for suspension swap and ordered full lamin-x kit for headlights, fogs and indicators from the states. Sitting in rented space now waiting for me to pop down tomorrow and start pulling Konis off and front end to bits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozowen 2 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Took Meld out of her winter cover. Both Corrados have been off road for about 6 months, the original due to a heater matrix failure and not using it daily. I had taken both batteries out so on Thursday after both had been charged, I went out to what I thought would be a straight forward task............opened the original and pulled the bonnet release and only one side opened. Eventually managed to open by removing grille and locating wire and pulling..........fitted battery and started first time yippee. Now to fit Melds battery and, yep you guest it the same thing happened with her bonnet but this time I think I have stretched the wire too far. What a day; who'd have thought fitting 2 batteries would take a few hours. On plus side bought new handbrake trim cover from VW heritage and snagged a pristine condition gearknob from ebay Edited April 25, 2015 by ozowen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerfish 10 Posted April 26, 2015 Replaced broken bonnet cable. Can open the bonnet again :) Removed all rear brake pipes and made new pipes, fitted goodridge flexi pipes whilst doing it. Removed front brake pipes from abs unit to wheel arch and made new pipes. Bled brakes. Replaced both ARB drop links. One had snapped, and completely shredded CV boot :censored: So boot replaced on OS outer CV. Been a busy weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
