Piercedwinky's Corrado - tires n wheels on, holes welded

[PiercedWinky 0]

Spent a little bit of time at the shop on Saturday and made a template then cut some sheet metal into shape :)

 

I found some other goodies in storage yesterday too.

 

And I started polishing some engine bits.

 

(even though it will be hidden)

intresting project, like the smoothed bay idea, seen a few caddys and early golfs with that done at shows recently and i think the graft pays off, big time

No clue, I haven't really set a time frame for myself.

 

I am at least hoping to have the car painted by september. It would be an awesome birthday present to myself... that and going to H20i with a bunch of corrado nuts :sleeping:

 

Speaking of corrado nuts I spent the evening at JoeyZ's house and flushed the coolant from his car and BSed for a 4 hours. Somehow I walked away with this:

:cuckoo:

 

I cleared out my storage unit full of corrado parts earlier today. Interior tidbits, my extra hatch, other door, ETC ETC. Will take some more pics tomorrow when I unload it all at the shop.

 

 

And I have been searching high and low for pictures of the corrado Jet interiors. I have only seen one picture. Anyone have pics of them? Especially the door panels?

I got rid of my storage unit this weekend and moved all my parts down to the shop:

Interested to see the Made in Mexico stamp, yours isn't the first I've heard of with that....

 

You on target for September then?

 

1 month to go..... :)

The stamp is under the air box on the frame rail.

Every single corrado I have come across has it.

 

 

Im not even close to on target for paint, but I have been moving stuff in the shop and helping other people the last few weeks. Lets see how much I can accomplish this weekend :cuckoo:

:) Good luck.

 

I seem good at talking myself into jobs on other cars instead of doing mine too.

[PiercedWinky 0]

Funny how that ends up happening.

 

Plans for this weekend are get the rear hatch in primer :D including shaving the 3rd brake light and the rear wiper hole. Also need to cut the glass out :gag:

 

That should only take a day of solid work, then its onto some more engine bay work and maybe a few other things.

I have been having fun with the polishing stuff....

 

 

Even though the coil will get hidden. It needs to look nice, right? :)

Paint your strut bars the color of the wheels! Takata Green!!!!

[PiercedWinky 0]

I still think hot pink is where its at for sway bars...

 

I still need to pick up my front one. The rear is sitting in a box @ the shop though. Might go buy a pint of some hideous pink paint at lunch :tongue:

[Gilboyto 0]

You do pink, Ill do green :D

Looking good!

 

If you need any Megasquirt info, give me a shout. I have all the setup configuration files from when I had it on my VRT. Also got a wiring diagram knocking about somewhere.

 

Nice throttle bodies, think we'll be able to hear it from over hear! Awesome :shock:

[PiercedWinky 0]

what did you wire to? I have pinouts from reading the bentley to wire directly to the fuse block since I am hiding all of my wiring in the frame rails

 

And I have a good N/A VR6 base tune to start with since the throttle bodies wont be done right away. :(

[Jim Bowen 1]

awesome stuff, i only just read it, certainly lots of work there, can't wait to see it progress. :clap:

[PiercedWinky 0]

thanks :D

[PiercedWinky 0]

had ben try to help me take out the rear glass... He got the bright idea to just push on it a bit...

 

So I cleaned up glass for about an hour and cleaned my cuts from it :gag:

 

so with that said done, and out of the way I shaved the rear wiper hole

[PiercedWinky 0]

started grinding down those ugly things I called welds in the engine bay too.

 

On a side note started looking at cars. I need a new daily driver. I am thinking an audi A4 or A6. :D

[Gilboyto 0]

You need to start workin on this thing! I expect a shaved bay by DATR!

BLAH BLAH BLAH, im working on it!!! HAHA

 

 

The passenger side only has 1 more hole... I need to cut out the raintray though.

 

I keep talking about doing it but I keep wimping out... Maybe I will just take the cutoff wheel to it next time im at the shop :cuckoo:

[PiercedWinky 0]

I hope the wifey didn't kill you for me hanging out so late the other night. Shoot me a PM with your email address I have pictures for you to forward for me :wink:

You should start a thread for your car on here. I am sure these guys would go nuts over it :D

Wow, so earlier today, I accidentally asked a customer "anything else I can do you for?" instead of "can I help you with anything else?" Oops.
