My Corrado Project.... Here goes i'm on the ladder

[mtc R32 0]

Well guys just thought i'd post some pics of my project in-hand. Firstly to repair the rear and replace the tailgate....

 

And the other minor little issues. Hoping to get the front painted too while its in for the rear.... Do you think the rear pannel will pull out? I dont' think its that bad really...

i would think a smidge of filler and an impact hammer should see that back to good mate. or at worst i new bit of metal welded in? what have the body shop said?

 

nice colour that! what is it?

LC5U - Aqua Blue Pearl i've been told... Can't wait to get my teeth into it..

Looks like an Aqua one to me! Good luck with the project mate - how's the rest of it?

it would probably be better to find a corrado in a scrappy and cut the rear section you need out as that is quite a strong panel and would require quite a bit of straightening and filling to get just right, there are a couple of corrado's in a local scrappy to me which are both straight at the back.

The Rest of the car is sweet... Really just that back panel took the impact and the tailgate, but its not that bad when looking at it in person.

 

Wha i am trying to find is a tailgate the same colour, as it would make it hat much easier to spray and keep costs down.

 

I would be greatful if you could get me a price on that rear end panel.. Probably will be changed, no breakers round me have any C's in, they just look at me wierd if ou ask...

ah, hence the total lack of damage to the rear bumper

8) like the back lights!

 

id agree on that rear panel,being strong...much better to throw another on :) not a massive job for someone who knows what they are doing.

 

good luck with the project :D

neil.

The back panel on mine looked similar to that a few weeks ago after an x5 reversed into me, the bodyshop managed to pull it out and sort it with a bit of filler no bother.

[Riley 0]

must've taken a bit of bashing if it was creased like above? :shock:

[Joe M 0]

was just at the one side thankfully, but looked just like the dent on the right of that pic. The x5 just had a bit of my paint on its bumper and a smashed tail light. :x

Heres what the rest of the Car looks like..... Love the colour

Glad that my old girl has got a good new home m8! Good luck with the repair, Ive still got the whiplash from that dam Range Rover :x

 

Apart from that i think you'll be extremaly happy with her. I had 2 years of great joy with that car, but since the accident I kinda fell out of love with her, got a result with some money and got my VR.

 

Keep us all updated with the progress m8, cant wait to see her in the flesh again all fixed up! 8)

rest of the car looks sweet! not sure on the gold VW badge

 

personally I'd stick a new panel in, won't show up the repair work as easily if at all

[16vradge 0]

The gold badge looks a bit Renault Clio Williams to me.

 

You could pull the dent out with a slide hammer, seen 'em on Pimp my ride.

 

Smaller link

 

You have to put a small hole in the panel to pull it, so it'd need welding afterwards.

[16vradge 0]

Took delivery of my wheels early hours this morning (4am!!!!!)

 

Many thanks to Gaz the Geezer for collecting and dropping them off, Sorted bloke and another Credit to the forum...

 

Anyhow quickly put them to see how they'd look!!!!

 

Thought i'd share it with you all...

 

I'm pleased, one step closer to bringing upto scratch. Sorry it's so dirty haven't cleaned it yet, decided not to untill i get the rear sorted..

 

What do you all think

Nice wheel choice. I think they really suit the car.
