h51mon 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Just thought I would post up a couple of snaps of my Rado now that I finally managed to finish detailing the outside and have swapped the rims over.To be honest with the weather and dark nights ended up buffing a panel at a time .The neighbours think Im nuts.Any way here goes As I bought it .......complete with scratches and swirls.... Then after some work..Not the best of photo's..... Forgot to apply dressings to door rubber (Rushing I guess). The only other thing added to date is a 57i Induction kit. The next step is to clean the interior and try to mint up the engine bay. Cheers for looking.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Looks lovely! You might find that as you have more updates that it's easier to add to your existing thread so it provides a nice history as to what you've been doing. Sort of a historical record if you will ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h51mon 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Finished Engine Bay: Just to keep the post up to speed spent the last week or so cleaning the Engine bay and inside of hood. Quite pleased to be honest took a lot of elbow grease and time but really happy only thing I may need to spend more time on is the Manifold and head.Not sure exactly what to use to bring it up as new.Maybe if anybody has done it previously might let me know.Anyway the photo's BEFORE Major buildup of grime and in the past had been coated with what they used to call Engine Lacqor which at the time looks the business but once it gets hot nightmare to remove and discolours everything over time AFTER Like I say not perfect but a vast improvement and a little more time spent I will be well pleased..

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted January 15, 2008 wow, what a difference! Good to see that another one has ended up with someone who cares... Do you have any plans? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h51mon 0 Posted January 15, 2008 wow, what a difference! Good to see that another one has ended up with someone who cares... Do you have any plans? Cheer mate.Not many plans maybe change to eibach springs and go clear with the side repeaters and smoked rear clusters but other than that leave as nature intended. Just need to mint up the interior and thats the cleaning sorted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h51mon 0 Posted January 27, 2008 Still going on the cleaning front.Have managed to finish the interior which is good because it stank a bit and my missus wouldn't sit in it.Anyway some before and after snaps. BEFORE DURING AFTER Thats the car pretty much done from a cleaning point of view and now it is in this condition ,far easier to maintain and keep mint. Just needs an oil change and top up and thats it for now.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojmobile 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Really does look fantastic - been meaning to do my engine bay for ages. This might spur me into doing it! How long you had your Corrado matts? I've had mine for a year or so - it's fun trying to keep the white Corrado script clean! :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h51mon 0 Posted January 28, 2008 thanks for comments guys.To be honest with the mats ,the drivers side is a bit worn so have opted for the rubber type more hard wearing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h51mon 0 Posted May 22, 2008 My car sold today.Really gutted to see it go but a friend bought it so will still be able to keep an eye on it. What I did find hard though was the lack of interest they recieve.Placed it for sale everywhere and only a few calls.Would be a shame if the desire to own one is killed off by rising fuel and tax prices..
