Yeah, the car needs a 45 mm front splitter so I can run a lower profile tire and go a bit lower. When I pull my engine out soon I am going to notch the frame rail on the passenger side to allow the axel to clear with it that low.

 

Thanks for the comments about the headliner. I am actually going to try and put it in, along with a new sunroof tomorow.

 

 

@ billinjahg60

I am looking for a full euro belt conversion for tan interior (all of the trim pieces, center console, etc etc)

 

I will post up more pictures tomorow when I do the headliner.

Got the headliner in, and the sunroof section of it. I need to finish the gasket that goes around the headliner/sunroof area and install all of the pillars. I shoudl be able to get all of that done in a couple hours tomorow.

 

As you can see by the last pic, I still have a good deal of work to do though.

Looking good, was the headliner hard to do?

[veeDuB_Rado 0]

reall really nice, lovin it

[PiercedWinky 0]

the headliner gets a bit tough to do around the visor area, it takes alot of working. Took my around 8 hours for the large piece of the headliner. I am still working on the seal that goes around the sunroof hole. I ran out of glue half way through last night so i am going to have to wait to finish that. That piece is probably going to be the hardest to finish.

Looking good mate.

Just out of interest, what glue have you used?

[PiercedWinky 0]

I used 3m part number 08088. It is the second stickiest glue they make according to 3m... the other one being heat resistent and instantly bonding (not good for headliners)

 

Thank you

I have a tan seal, and it is too dark, so I covered the seal in the same fabric I used on the headliner. My other idea was to dye the seal but I decided against that.

 

Its been a while since I have logged in here. Not really too much going on right now with the car, just collecting some more parts to try and get it back together again.

My corrado has been sitting for a while, I have been working on a couple of other projects:

 

My 83 Mk1 Rabbit:

Which just got a new engine and transmission, a set of coilovers, and new wheels.

and my Gf's Mk2 Golf 16v

which got a new engine

But I did go buy a few parts for the corrado in the mean time.

 

EuroSport Lower Stress Bar

And tonight I am going to pick up a few more parts for the car.

[PiercedWinky 0]

Over the past weekend I moved the car from my parents house to my storage unit for the next couple of months until I find a new house.

 

In the mean time i will be picking up a bunch of parts for the real fun this fall/winter.

 

Last night I managed to pick up a VR6 front subframe, and VR6 Rear K frame that has been reinforced around the engine mount cups. If I get a chance tonight I will go take some pictures.

 

I also ordered new control arms, ball joints, tie rod ends, and a full PROthane bushing kit for the car. Those should be here this weekend along with the last bits I need for my Mk1

[PiercedWinky 0]

Had a bunch of parts show up today from FourSeason Tuning.

My bumper will be shaved of the side markers when i do the rest of the body work. That bumper offer is very tempting though. I need to make some quick cash and start getting parts from you guys :thumbleft:

 

Would you be interested in swapping of bumpers?

 

I'm after a US spec one and rather than having yours shaved you could just respray mine....
