What i want to do and what i can are two different things :lol: will be saving for wedding so money will be put into that.

 

BUT, if i cant the chance, i want to swap the interior seats, get the alloys resprayed or even changed. Most of all, i want to get the car resprayed but that wont be for a while yet :(

288's, baffles sump, gearbox build with different gears, TT wishbone bushes and change wheels about 432 times. Either that or buy an S2 and leave the Corrado sitting doing nowt.

Paintwork/respray bumpers, new exhaust, engine bay detailed, and if possible remove random underside bits for powder coating.

Refit passenger seat thats been out for months due to back lol..... Cables on heater controls and getting all 4 speeds back on the heater which was fine all summer and died for winter (can I get a whole new 4 speed unit from anywhere?). Fit vibratech front mount and possibly fit the U-bend and FMIC thats sitting in the garage along with the replacement front callipers.

 

Biggest annoyance for me is the front bumper has hung off since I've owned it and I have two sitting to go on (std and flushed plate) so want that as a priority really. As it will need paint freshened up on the bumper do I get the rear arches rolled at the same time and fit the 8 and 9" RC's instead of the 7.5's?? Also some stone chips on the front need attention.

 

To be fair to the car it has been my daily all year and needs only minor attention and has been a bloody joy to own and drive.

 

Ooops, oil change is a must.

Got a black leather interior lined up to go into the car in January hopefully, and then thinking about some paintwork. Have to say though "life" and other interests have really meant the Corrado has taken a back seat for the last few months, especially now I have another car.. hoping the VR doesn't end up going the way of the 16V and just getting sold!

Wish I knew what 2012 will hold for the rado. I do know it will be driven to work everyday and it will be gradually sorted, but to what extent..... Who knows. :)
