CrazyDave 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Great news! And the feeling of driving a VR after a few months off is something else ain't it.... Looking forward to seeing you and the motor at some shows this year. Got to be one of my all time favourite Corrados 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted February 9, 2008 Great news! And the feeling of driving a VR after a few months off is something else ain't it.... Looking forward to seeing you and the motor at some shows this year. Got to be one of my all time favourite Corrados 8) Dont get me wrong Dave, i love the Mk2 but in a very different way. The Mk2 is nimble and very responsive but the Corrado feels so musclely and the mid range power feels fantastic, and as for the noise... Im very flattered with the compliment as your car is every bit as good as mine just with a load more power. Im hoping work is going to prevent me attending everything this year, Stanford looks like a goer but after that nothing is guaranteed at the moment. I really want to arrive at a show with some RSs this year. Ill know more when i move north in May, fingers crossed.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted February 10, 2008 Heres a few pictures of the car from today, i gave it its first coat of wax and im pleased with how it came up.. Also changed the 90mm chin today for one which is unmarked, i wonder how long it will stay like that as the last one looks a bit sorry for itself...

Goldie 2 Posted February 10, 2008 Looks mint as ever. Your plans are exactly the same as mine but you will definately be getting there before me. Seems like we are all wanting RSs, tbh if i could think of something for about teh same price that would have the same effect id go for it but i genuinely dont think there is anything to rival them.. Im moving back to Durham and will be working just outside Glasgow so will be running backwards and forwards... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toon vw 0 Posted February 10, 2008 Moving work from Portsmouth up to Glasgow eh....better pack you're jacket then :lol: I presume you won't be commuting in your pride & joy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted February 10, 2008 I can think of a set of wheels and a forum member has them as well cost about the same and very similar to RS's, only seen the 1 corrado with them on as well. Its not just the wheels i want but the dash doing and the rear beam refurb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a nice picture it is, bad influence though... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted February 13, 2008 No tax yet though Jon, using the rest of the month to finish the jobs.. Progress update, rear beam is off the car and will be getting stripped down tonight ready to go to the powdercoaters.. Pics will be coming... Think i might buy an exhaust today, mine doesnt look very shiney underneath... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted February 14, 2008 Heres a couple of pics of the rear beam now its off. Still need to remove the compensator and the bushes which ill be doing tonight. Beam is in decent shape, just a bit of surface rust which is to be expected. Itll be going off for a shot blast and a powdercoat and hope to have it back next week. Ill build it back up then with braided hoses and Mk4s and then itll be going back on.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
