It tore a small hole in it around the drain plug. I luckily turned off the car quick enough to not spin any bearings, but I did have some valve noise afterwards.

 

and it was deffinatly a bit of a wakeup. I am just glad I did that with a G60 and not a VR6, G60 bearings are alot stronger than the VR's

looking nice mate, needs lowering though ;)

 

Cant really get a good feel for the new paint colour from the image you posted, is it a sort of perlecent white?

PiercedWinky, whilst your on, i`m looking for a grey ( late style ) interior door handle for your passenger side ( our driver side ) ..... i`m fitting a late interior into an early one and would rather not have the mirror switch in the door handle , just a plain one would do for me as i will put the switch somewhere else , let us know if you can help mate :thumbleft:

I beleive that the grey interior had black handles... correct me if I am wrong. I know my tan interior has black handles and my early style grey interior I had was black handles... if that is all you are looking for then I should have some laying around somewhere. If not I will just go down to russell's house (vwfastg60) and pick up a set.

I think it needs to be at least another 1/2 inch lower personaly :shock:

 

and to answer the question about the paint yes it is a high perl paint. Three stage paint, base pearl and clear. It is really hard to get a good picture of it especially since it isnt on the car, just on the lid of the can.

[gaz the geezer 0]

your correct, they are black with a small bit of leathery trim along one edge, any chance of finding one like this without the buttons ?

[PiercedWinky 0]

this is the one to my interior, but I am pretty sure I have a spare somewhere around here.

[gaz the geezer 0]

thats the one mate, it`s exactly what i`m looking for . let us know if you find the spare and i`ll pm relevant details to you, spot on fella :thumbleft:

[PiercedWinky 0]

would you be interested into making it a trade? I am on the search for the European rear plate recess that is in the hatch.

It is so nice to see people that are so willing to help each other out. Even if others are halfway around the world :thumbleft:

 

 

 

On a side note I just redid my headliner and sunroof console in white suede.

[PiercedWinky 0]

Oh almost forgot the new front grill / eyebrow for the car that I picked up today

[billinjah 0]

dude if you could send a us spec slc front bumper id make it worth your while!!

[gradeAfailure 0]

^^^^^^

 

make that two... ;) I'll trade you for a gen-ewe-wine Euro-spec bumper... :lol: heheh

 

Good work on the headlining trimming though, looks like a quality job! :thumbleft:

[PiercedWinky 0]

Depending on if I can get one or not. I have an SLC front bumper for my car and there is a chance that I could get ahold of another one... Shipping might cost the price of a corrado LOL

 

And why would you want a US front bumper?

Thank you, no I don't do that for a living. I am actually trying to find a new job right now and I am a college student.

I got bored last week and decided I should start re-trimming my headliner. I still need to do the visors but they are a bit trickier as I have to learn how to sew to do them.

[Jim 2]

Well over here cars aren't fitted with those running lights like they are over there. So those, combined with the electric seatbelts are a real novelty! In much the same way that NON side markered bumpers (fenders?) and standard euro seatbelts are for you over there!

[PiercedWinky 0]

I would love to get rid of my seat belts. It is kind of ironic that you guys want what we don't and visa versa.

 

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:

[Bojmobile 0]

Did you get your Corrado - coz you live in Colorado? :lol:

Sorry - couldn't resist it! :oops:

[billinjah 0]

want a us spec one as they have no number plate recess and i like the side markers. i have uk spec seatbelts for sale if you want those.
