diarmaid16 1 Posted January 4, 2014 Stripping my other C now so I can scrap the shell and make room for this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted January 18, 2014 Well I whipped the driver's door card off there and this is what I found. Just under the drivers seat is very wet now too. Half an inch of water in the back. Would this have let that much water in?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted January 18, 2014 Also could one of the mods move this to the members gallery please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted January 18, 2014 That's at least part of the water problem for sure. I used to have an Mk2 and both membranes were torn from a bad speaker install. It was enough to put an inch of water in the rear foot wells. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted January 18, 2014 Ya, I'll take it off altogether and bond a new sheet to it. At least it will eliminate one source of water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted January 19, 2014 Took the CL pump out today to swap it with one I had from a 16v I'm breaking. Turns out they have different electrical connections. Opened them up to see if I could swap the internals but they wouldn't fit the way they're designed. Thought the pumps would have been the same! The grey one is the one I removed.

Hofmiester 10 Posted January 20, 2014 Looks like early one was Hella and then thy brought that part in house, probably to make it cheaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 15, 2014 Well it finally stopped raining in Glasgow so I decided to tackle the drivers door membrane which I think had been letting water in. Not a nice job. Used Tiger seal and it got everywhere. Anyway it's done now just to wait for some more rain to see if its worked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted February 15, 2014 Have you got a dark VR as well as this one? I keep seeing it around and about... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 15, 2014 No lad, just another 16v thats in bits! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted February 16, 2014 Wonder who's that is then… Another sunny day today so no testing the membrane - yet… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) No idea. Ya, I was shocked when I woke up to see it hadn't been raining. Although it does mean I can go at a couple of other things. I have seen a vr the same colour as this about too. Don't know if he's on here. Edited February 16, 2014 by diarmaid16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 16, 2014 Lifted the carpet as it was drowned. Removed the underlay and binned it. Smelled like something had died underneath it. Dried it out as best I could. Found a hole where the foot rest is screwed down. Not sure what to do with that? Luckily I can use the underlay and carpet from my breaker. some pics: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 22, 2014 So I stripped out the drivers side carpet from my breaker to put in the corrado. Realised what I thought was a hole in the footwell was just a rusted braket for the footrest so can use a spare I have. Just need to fit the carpet now. Tinted my rear lights and hope to get them lacquered tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted February 23, 2014 Good work there mate, kind of still wish I was racing this one in the twintowns challenge :) Although the 728i seems to be a lot dryer :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 23, 2014 Ha, cheers Ron! You're probably better off :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted March 2, 2014 Well she's back together and dry! Also changed plugs, oil and oil filter in the pouring rain. I really need to get rid of my breaker out of my shed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted March 3, 2014 Looking very tidy indeed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted March 3, 2014 I think the pictures are deceiving! Got another couple of hours at her today. Fitted the tinted rear lights. Didn't bother with lacquer as they looked ok and this is far from a show car. Took off the 3 pieces of trim at the bottom of the windscreen and found a lot of crap underneath so cleaned all this out, gave the trim a wipe and refitted. Also fitted a grille with black badges that I had from before. Just need to insure her now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
