Cheers andrew! How's your new addition coming along? :grin:

Had a few hours tinkering with the Satin today and managed to sort the ABS light which was constantly on!

 

Bought 2 front sensors off the bay so fitted those and WHAHEEEY! the light goes out :clap: only cost £25 for the pair too so was quite chuffed about that.

 

Also got the rear washer squirting again as it was blocked up, I stuck my bike pump over the nozzle and pumped a few times then took it off and stuck a pin in the hole then pumped it again and so on for five or tem minutes and WHEEEEEEEE! we have water coming out. Guess it hadn't been used for a while and got blocked up.

 

Then gave it a wash for being good :lol:

 

I Like my silver Corrado :luvlove:

[KIPVW 0]

Couple of pics added, need to sort out the noisey starter motor now :/

[KIPVW 0]

Well A few little issues with the Satin so thought it best to get them sorted so here are a few pics of before and during, and hopefully they'll be some of the finished article early next week :clap:

 

It all started whilst i was replacing the rear number plate panel which was broken so i ordered a new one which will be fitted to K1 PVW and the one off there will go onto the Silver one :grin:

 

I knew it was a little rough around the number plate light so wasn't shocked to see what was underneath it. richard my bodyshop man took to it with the grinder to get rid of the bad stuff then metal filled it today, and it will then be smoothed back before painting next week!

[KIPVW 0]

Well the C was all sorted out for last monday as suggested but been a little busy to upload the pics so here's the fresh looking back end all painted and trim refitted, including the Karmann plate surround purchased from the factory shop in september for a measely 3 euro's :lol:

[KipVR 1]

You're like a Corrado rescue centre Kip :D . Keep up the good work !!

 

If ever you need to sell your K1 PVW plate to finance your rescue operations you know who to ask !!

[CrazyDave 0]

That nasty patch under the tailgate lock is a bit of a worry, never been under the number plate cover on mine...... Look what you've started Kip!

 

Looking tidy now though, as I've said before, love silver Corrados!

[KIPVW 0]

Not sure you could afford it dude :lol: Just dont think I could ever sell it now mate, its like welded to him and he wont hand it back :grin:

[pete_griff 0]

ditto what kipVR said - great to see you taking another corrado and your loving wing! :)

[KIPVW 0]

Cheers Pete, to be honest it's really nice having the 8v as a daily as so far its not looking like its going to cost much to keep running, Just bought some new dampers for it too so cant wait to get those on and see how it feels as i'm sure its running the original (shafted) ones!

Hope all is well with you mate.

Looking v good Kip 8)

 

Be interested to see the results of the work around the windscreen if you get a chance to post up some pics. I have a developing problem on one side of mine which I've just been holding in check till now. Did they just rust treat the channel and then paint the exposed bits?

[Goldie 2]

Your neighbours must think you two are potty..

 

Like the 8v, really liked having a go in Judiths, definitely an underated car just like the Mk3 GTI with the same power plant..
