ToffeeRado 0 Posted August 8, 2006 So I went and checked out a this white corrado today and it followed me home :D You don't see many nice white rado's time to change that :D I'm really loving the color. Today I have to strip my jetta and get it ready for pic up then I start clean up on the rado, installing my cloth recaro interior and black dash a lot of work to come.

ToffeeRado 0 Posted August 9, 2006 so today i had to strip my jetta causetti getting picked up by the crusher tomorrow, I got a bit of time to work on the rado put coils in the front and washed the car scubed and pressure washed the engine bay for a couple hours. here some pics Started off like this, unbolted subframe and stuff and me and my front just picked the front up and walked with the jetta, I thought it looked like a vw wrecking yard so I took a pic we moved it to the road after that. Then the cleaning started After a some hours its CLEAN :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ToffeeRado 0 Posted August 12, 2006 Looks like you're really going to town on it mate, had it been living in a bog before you bought it?! Keep up the good work! :) I hate dirt so I went crazy and clean the hell out of everything. Phuk I don't know wtf the story is on this car, I know I'm 3rd owner though. I don't understand when people let perfectly good cars go to waste, when I saw this I thought "time to save another rado" :D I didn't care what shape it was in as long as there was no major rust cause I have everything I could possibly need down to wiring.
