Cheers dox.

 

Forced induction definitely gives you a silly grin, but reduces distance between fuel stops

That's not a grin, it was fear being in your car Shaun.

Speak for yourself you woosy, that 6 seconds certainly seems to have made an impression on you though

100 percent some nice goodies- there is a black schrick vgi for sale on corrado chat FB - seller asking 1600 euro and it complete apparently.

I like how you’ve marked the bolts to indicate they are tight and if they’ve moved. Nice.

Managed to collect quite a few nice bits over the years, which I might get to use now 🙂

Other bits added, VT mounts all round, polybushes all round, new drop links, ball joints, various bits powder coated, new brake shields all round etc, eibach arbs, stainless tank straps.  Also have new driveshafts to fit, brake lines (courtesy of Alex), and brakes TT 312mm up front and R32 vented on the rear along with stainless braided hoses.  The brakes wont be done for some time...I will do a right up on the rear as also planning on changing the taper bearings to normal bearings.

Also have a eibach front brace, which I wont fit...too much bling

** Rust Warning **

Was on the verge of putting the engine back in, thought I would clean the scuttle area.... gutted to find rust lurking in the scuttle area under the bitumen sound deadening.... looks like it’s a dash out repair 😞.  Was very P'd off yesterday, however new day and all that...will give me a chance to tidy wiring and replace the heater matrix

I would recommend all owners check the condition of their cars scuttle area, or check fro under the dash area.  The damage appears to be localised to low points/contours where water appears to have collected/become trapped and reacted over time.

Without removing the sound deadening part, was it slightly noticeable?

Yep the bitumen looked slightly different.

 

the rest peeled off easily enough as well, guess after 25 years its given a good service

A worry for us all. But I think this is the exception not the rule. Others my say different but I’ve not noticed this being a problem area on current or previous cars, but definitely worth a check.

what would you replace it with?  I'd be wary of any open cell type of product but would any vibration damper like damplifier add any benefit?

Once sorted just going to paint, there is already sound deadening inside, so might just add another layer internally

OK welding will have to wait, to cheer mself up and after much messing arround engine finally in, happy as I have space in my garage and can chuck in loads more bits as well.  Also started wrapping the loom and swapping out bolts and clips for stainless items.

[Cressa 44]

That does look very nice 👍

No major updates...just fitted some new tower linkage arms, and trail fitted a few bits.....any tips on adjusting appreciated as I have now lost 2nd gear 😞

 Also got hold of some panels (scuttle ar ea and bottom of A posts) courtesy of Corrado Graveyard (James Darby)..if you need some bits he is the guy 😎

Damn your engine does look good 👍. Can I ask where your Schrick rpm controller is?

Sorry I cant help with the gearbox,  not touched mine yet. Have you changed your gearbox oil at all? I know it's not related,  just wondering what you used 😇

Cheers, rpm controller located in the scuttle area, near the ecu, will all be covered with swg panel.

for the box I used 2 x RED LINE Synthetic Manual Transmission 90 MT90 75W-90 GL4 - 1 US Quart (0.946 litre)
