Get other half to sort out the heater (after new matrix) got no warm air now!!

Then replace the rest of the missing dash board.

Give it a good clean inside and out again.

Then off to meet other like minded Raddo owners in Derby :D

Im keeping it simple too. All im doing is adjusting the coilovers again to get the ride height on the front just right.

 

Will give a wash and polish if the rain holds off.

Reset the ecu, then going to give it a wash and polish, and then I'm actually get out and drive it for a change rather than just having it as a large ornament outside the house!

Yeah, just go for a damn drive in the thing. That's what it's for. Plus I might if I get the time fit the suspension I bought off 3 Corsa Meal. Can't believe I still haven't done that yet!

Ive already started. Currently sitting on axle stands and trying to decide if i can get the alternator out without taking the bumper and radiator out, doesnt look promising. Need to check ABS rings on the back so rear disc etc are coming off. Painting new wheels and replacing the rear brakes on my Mk4. Hopefully all goes well, for a change.

Continue to make plans for tackling a rebuild one day...........mine's just a Corrado shape lump under a car cover in the spare garage at the mo, been that way since August last year.........not even checked it's still under there since Christmas!

 

One day I'll get started! At least the yearly average mileage is improving.
