Jim 1 Posted June 2, 2009 Interesting in parting with the black leather, p/x'ing for the cloth in my Corrado to help with funds to put towards the VR, Tom? Quite possibly... I sat in the valver today and burnt my arse on the seat belt buckle, and thought how little I want leather seats. :lol: I did half offer them to someone else a little while ago though. I'll speak to them and get back to you. Ok mate. I've been after leathers for my Corrado for ages so I am definately very keen to sort some at some point!

Need to have a go at it with an orbital polisher and some G3 Hey Tom, I'm still on for coming up and giving you a hand mate, I have an orbital, and G3 equivalent. Name a day and I'll come up, maybe a sunny evening? No romancing though please. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Haha. How about a little bit of romancing? Whenever you could come up would be great. I'll drag the car out and get it washed again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Jim. This month won't be terribly productive for me I'm afraid. July would be a lot better though. Would really like a hand at some point.

Toad 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Tonight I got a nice new metal cabinet off the neighbours farm, and emptied all of the cack from inside the car out and put it into the cabinet. Quite nice to have an empty car. Found my 17mm ratchet spanner too. :) Also cleared the 16v out and found a new tool box which is too big :( Tried removing the rear caliper carriers, and broke my allen key socket. :( Gonna try and see if they will exchange it. Apart from that, just sat in the car and wondered what it would be like to drive again. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipVR 1 Posted June 4, 2009 What you need is a big spot light with a toad on it instead of batman, when you turn it on, we all come to the rescue. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll force him to push back... :norty: Thanks for all the offers of help guys. :) Much appreciated. Going to try to get a few bits thrown on or prepared this weekend.

Toad 0 Posted June 5, 2009 I'm gonna go ahead and restart my commission-based marketing: Erwins ftw on rear carriers! :salute: Yup, don't have much choice now with half the allen key snapped off in the bolt. Need to set about the rest of the bolts with a hammer I think. Didn't really help that I was attacking the bolts in the dark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Agh, I hate snap-offs. I feel your pain buddy. You should be able to wiggle the allen out of there with a bit of light and pliers all being well! I'm sure you'll find some ingenious way of getting it sorted! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
