V-Dubstar 0 Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Hey all! :wave: So I bought myself my 1st 'rado last month, 25th March. :D Spec as follows: - '94 plate Dragon Green VR6 - black leather recaro interior - 52k on the clock - FSH - bodywork is great other than a couple of little dings on the crease of the passenger door - completely standard apart from a Foxguard alarm and Sony HU - all electrics work apart from the spoiler doesn't go up automatically This is what she looked like: stromlaufplan_gamma4.pdfIMG_2875.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] And the following day, my FIRST day of owning her, this happens: ETKA Corrado.pdfDSC01612.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] As you can imagine, I wasn't best pleased. :bad-words: Some guy's door had swung open in the wind and battered my door in! Luckily I found the culrpit who was a visitor at my workplace. So anyways, not off to a good start right? Here's a pic from the non-dented side after Id ownerd her a day or 2, bit dirty from my 'testing' the capabilites tho :camp: stromlaufplan_gamma4.pdfDSC01622.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] And one of the interior: Corrado92.pdfDSC01623.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] So in the meantime of waiting for the INS claim to go through, I started adding some little touches to the 'rado. Here's a couple of pix, 2 are next to my mates Cupra 225 passat climatronic wiring diags.pdfDSC01654.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfDSC01664.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfDSC01660.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] I've got some new plates to smarten the car up a little, and had the speedies powder-coated a real deep gun-metal. Put the wheels on last wknd, and the car FINALLY :wink: got picked up for the repairs on Monday!! So no pix with the fresh rims just yet, Im just grateful to soon be driving the car in the condition it was in when I bought it!!! :epicfail: The estimate for car-return is nxt Tuesday, I can't wait!!! :D :D :D In the meantime tho, I've been supplied with this as a courtesy, could do a lot worse eh? DSC01684.JPG[/attachment:1jweya6a] So that's it, for now!! I've bought some KW V1's that were supposed to be going on tomoz (courtesy of G-Werks) incl top mounts, and a full service but that kinda went out the window when my car was taken in for repairs! :lol: So hopefully, a week Monday they should be on!! Thanks for reading 8) Edited April 13, 2015 by V-Dubstar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carter711 0 Posted April 30, 2009 That interior is lovely, I've got the same recaro electric leather and about 15mins ago I bought the same steering wheel on Ebay! Have you treated your leather at all? It looks less shiney than mine. Lovely car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
