biggerbigneil 0 Posted August 15, 2004 Ah Benjamin, good job on the brakes old fruity! I can't wait till you let me drive it at Gumball 2005! :afro: What's the deal again with the gear shifter? do you have an unusually long left arm? I've been :drinking: sorry... Anyway the car looks fab! Don't need any more doing to the exterior in my view, no invisible door handles/flashings wheel arches or halfords add ons, actually some of those "screw in anywere foglights" might do the trick. Just read an excellent post on how cool it was to drive with the foglights on, very amusing I thought! Anywhoo speak soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted August 16, 2004 What's the deal again with the gear shifter? Well its going to sit a bit higher because of my interior.... but thats still not finished yet, so will keep hush for the time being till its complete, hopefully the car will get a proper debut @ E38 in sept, depending on if Jabbasport ever get their new 1000bhp rolling road finished!!!

biggerbigneil 0 Posted August 16, 2004 I think a Corrado should be seen doing the Gumball don't you!? and it certainly isn't going to be in mine! it might get dirty...lol You like the hair, i'm really going to get it like that you know. As for the helpful comments I think you need a front bumper to pass your MOT or atleast a number plate... sorry couldn't resist http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... eName=WDVW I rekon this would look sweeeeet mate! :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted September 6, 2004 Thought I'd tease you with a couple of pics of my new dashboard. First pic (dash_1) shows how I cut the original corrado dash in half and the very first steps tackled to allow for the transformation to take place. I did this to keep the original mounting points and to make the final item as neat as possible. The second pic (dash_2) shows an almost complete 'top' half of the dash. I'll keep everyone guessing for the rest of it..... hope to have it finished off soon... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking like its going to be very well executed. Looking forward to more teaser pics!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
