It looks like I'm gonna be hanging around here a lot...

Nice to see you're still dubbin', Paul! I almost cried when I heard the G40 was written off! :(

 

I fannied around with the car on Wednesday, tidied the inside up and cleaned up the engine bay. My mate stuck a Pipercross induction kit on it, which makes it sound a lot better, but will probably make it lose HP.

 

I also attempted to get them Mini wheels off. What a joke! The previous muppet owner forced them onto the car with long bolts, so the only way they'd come off was with a damn good kicking. We only managed to do 2 in the end, I'll have the pleasure of sorting out the other 2 tomorrow.

 

Today I spent £162 with Euro Car Parts buying:

 

* Oil sump

* Sump gasket

* Drain plug

* Drain plug washer

* Oil filter

* Fuel filter

* Cambelt

* Cambelt tensioner

* Alternator belt

* PAS belt

* Front discs

* Rear discs

* Rear pads

 

I'll spend tomorrow fitting most of these things, I'll leave the belts for my best mate and he can do them once I've had the charger rebuilt. Ah, I'll have to take that off too!

 

My camera is still broken, so I'll have to dig out my old 3.1mp camera and take some mediocre quality snaps.

£162? Your corrado is a cheap date compared to mine :lol:

LOL thats just the start!

 

It needs paint, new suspension, a wheel refurb, tyres and a charger rebuild! Oh and I can't forget pulleys!

 

Its going to be mega expensive, I tell you!

Just the start? Has anyone actually got to the mythical end? ;)

 

Mine was a bit of a dog mechanically, spent the first few months looking at the back of an AA van :lol:

 

Its sort of getting there........

I'm starting to question why I bought a G60 in the first place.

 

God I've only had it since Monday and I'm already hating it :(

give her bit of tlc and you'll come to love her....! I, like Dubby, spent my first 6 months of Rado ownership looking at the back of an AA van (and RAC... Green Flag too for that matter!!!) but when she was fixed and I drove her all was forgiven....! Am gonna cry when her new owner drives her away tomorrow...

 

chin up... its all worth it!!! :)

I managed to get the carrier back on the hub and get the NSF brake reassembled. I also managed to get some picd, but they're appaling quality as it was getting dark.

Nice! I'll have the RC's please :) Looks like you need to drop her a bit mate?

Oh don't you worry, the FK Silverlines will be ordered soon! I need to get the engine sorted first though.

 

The car will be ready for Inters. That's a promise!
