A20 LEE 0 Posted June 4, 2004 Can't wait to see it Lee, the work you have shown in your pics looks a top notch job so far. Bet your like Charlie in the choc factory when you go to the paint shop!! Going down to take some new pics tomorrow, not sure when i'll get the car back, as you can imagine the guy's doing such an amazing job on it i don't want to push him. Its ready when is ready. Still got a load of rubbish jobs to do myself. Today will be spend polishing 20 stainless steel bolts :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted June 5, 2004 Can't wait to see this car once its done!! Been to see it this morning. Its awesome :shock: Its sat in the final coat of primer and goes into the booth for colour on monday. Its the first time i've seen it with the new wheels on and the impact and stance of the car, even with no doors or tailgate is jaw dropping. Hopefully the big unveiling is only a month away.

MoonlightVR 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Looking very nice Lee. See you've smoothed the sills off too. What are you using on there now there is no flexible underseal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kieron 0 Posted June 12, 2004 Blimey Lee!!! I turn my back on Corrados for a year or so and.... :lol: What is going on here?! Like the "removal" of the weld joints below the rear clusters. I might be wildy wrong here but it almost looks like your going for a clean Cal-look style ala Ritchie Kings old baby blue Karmann Ghia if anyone can recall that. Always amazed how unbelievably clean your car was especially as it was a daily driver. Can't wait to see this!!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure its a cal look, more german/belgian/cult society. Still my only car mainly due to the expensive of building it which means i don't have the money to buy a banger. Your not really selling your VR :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomson 0 Posted June 14, 2004 Lee, Long time no speak, your car is looking good - the bits of it we can see anyway !! I hope you have indicators as I had to add some to mine before I could get another 12 months on her. You are a complete perfectionist, although I still think you should get out more. :mrgreen: Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
