Mystic Rado 0 Posted January 24, 2018 Good work on the headlining. Mine's just starting to let go in a couple of places, so I might have to follow your example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted January 24, 2018 Good work on the headlining. Mine's just starting to let go in a couple of places, so I might have to follow your example. Once it starts going it starts spewing glue fragments everywhere...well worth having a bash....was quoted £400 :0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 26 Posted February 10, 2018 Nice Storm and good work on the bits you've done. I will need to do the headlining on my own at some point - thanks for the link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue95 0 Posted February 13, 2018 Cheers all, beige is nice but seems to get dirty as you look at it lol. Speakers wise, I had budgeted of no ore than £100, I opted for alpine direct fit speakers: Halfords (door speakers £27: http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/car-speakers/alpine-5-25-coaxial-2-way-custom-fit-speakers?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Car+Audio-_-Car+Speakers-_-335570&istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istItemId=lwqmtx&istBid=tzwt&_$ja=tsid:94971|cid:868555897|agid:49387676532|tid:pla-400409308220|crid:203456299587|nw:g|rnd:12106561223803792869|dvc:c|adp:1o1|mt:|loc:1007080&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIptC3v8qi2QIVw7ztCh3u1glrEAQYASABEgKk8fD_BwE Dash and rears from ebay £66 comes with adapters: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Alpine-speakers-kit-for-VW-Volkswagen-Corrado-10-1988-12-1995-with-adapters/281888201544?hash=item41a1d89b48:g:Nr8AAOSwo3pWctCn Plus extra set of adaptors off ebay £2.50.

blue95 0 Posted March 1, 2018 Back to OEM rims...fresh from Pristine in MK. Grey looks nice, just prefer silver...must be getting too old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted May 9, 2018 New rims finally fitted (too much time on the other project), pics in the sun really show off the pearl green paint Plans are to paint the carriers and rear calipers, and change the suspension to koni shocks + H&R springs, coilovers are just not right for this car.
