Goldie

I have one available..

I didn't leave it that long deliberately, it just kind of happened..

Im sure a suitable daily Corrado will be found Chris..

Snappy Gaiters are very good..

Ive not heard of those guys..1100 for seats and cards is reasonable..

Are snappy gaiters a good trimmer? They did the seats in my silver one..

I know another guy up in Glasgow (he did the wheel) and his work is brilliant as well..

Could well be the same place that did these - Snappy Gaiters..

Door cards are original, front and rear seats trimmed. These are nappa leather i believe..

Who is the trimmer?

Nothelle did styling and tuning parts for Corrados back in the day..

The seats have been retrimmed about 5 years ago, the leather is smoother and has been drawn tighter than factory.. see comparison..

On the job list for the day, disc painting…

I must admit that having a shiny Corrado is one thing but i have enjoyed having a Corrado to use. '2 Litre Peter' has been the most enjoyable Corrado i have owned and without the worry of rain, dirt, parking, wheels, seat wear etc..

Here he is after over 3 months without a wash…

Very kind of you..

The interior light origin is debatable, Mk3 of some description or an equivalent Passat..

Thanks very much..

I totally agree Jim, i love the original wheel but wanted an option of a change. I love the pedigree of the wheel that the car originates from and i suppose it went from there. The wheel, boss, retaining ring and horn pad were all sourced separately which wasn't easy. It is a 32cm wheel so 2cm smaller than stock so it isn't tiny but noticeably smaller..

Here is another picture in Nothelle 'Mode'…

Been ages since I've updated this and progress has been slow.

I had hoped to achieve so much more with the car this winter but a realistic end of the winter jobs is near..

So, in total, this winter:

All exhaust heat shields removed, satin polished and refitted with plated clips.

Complete under car clean and inspection of underseal with a couple of local repairs completed.

Petrol tank straps recoated (again).

All exhaust hangers replaced (New or coated)with all new bolts.

All new clips for brake lines and fuel lines.

All new brake lines in OE finish (Front still to complete) with New Bias valve.

Complete refurbishment of rear beam (again), new bushes, brake lines, clips etc.

New rear discs, pads, ABS rings, bearings in progress.

New Supersprint exhaust mid sections in stainless (polished) to match re-polished back box.

New fuel filter, bracket and bracket mounting clips.

New handbrake cable guides.

Replated new bonnet catch and striker pins.

I think that pretty much means that everything on the back of the car has been done so the front is next. I have driveshafts and have started collecting new parts for hub/wishbone refurbishment but will leave all that until next winter.

I also still want the heater matrix done. In addition to that interior wise i have acquired one of these..

Intend to convert to black headlining but want genuine black visors not painted ones so am following others and will do my own home work into the best way ahead.

I also have another steering wheel. Its a Momo that was fitted to Carrera 4 lightweight versions of the 964, it has been retrimmed and i have had a custom centre 'Karmann' horn push made up for it..

Plans for the year show wise are uncertain, I have sadly had to withdraw from Ultimate Dubs but hope to make some things later in the year..

I owe a few thankyous to Easypops, ChrisL and Kip who have helped me a lot along the way...

Shame Graeme although you know what everyone will say, you will do well not get another in the future…

If those Audi wheels are going spare…...

I wonder if there is much difference between a Mk1 and Mk2 TT set up...

They look nice…

Scrap yard rummaging needed.. By cabriolet I'm assuming we are talking Mk3 Golf?

Oh well. That doesn't help at all. I'd really like one as my headlining is black. My lights been sprayed before but it's flaking off. Perhaps Annavr6 from Heritage could help out.

What did you do with the visors? Paint as well?

Pics of both handle + Karmann badge if u can, Goldie please :)

Will do

Hi, a pair of late wings and slam panel would be great. Let me know. Thanks

I'll let you know about a slam panel. Wings are not 100% sadly

To slide forward/back :)

Fairly sure I have. Confirm a bit later. Will pm you.

Got a passenger seat adjustment handle (moving seat forward/backward)?

 

Karmann badge on gearstick surround?

 

Headlight plastic surround trims?

 

Thanks

Do you mean to slide the chair forward/backwards or for the tilt? Karmann badge yes, headlights are gone already...

I have a set of VR clocks, mileage unknown and with a small amount of crystal damage to the odometer but perfectly useable for spare parts if you want to repair your existing clocks..

Latest batch of parts have been dispatched..

Update to thread coming at the weekend.. Pretty much two full cars to break so if you need anything please ask...

Need to confirm condition but may be able to help with a slam panel..

Goldie am i being stupid? The header says new parts on page 16, this thread only has 5 pages when i view it??

Are you viewing it through normal forum view or Taptalk?

Honest answer I've no idea but this is page 19..

Can I have the bolster please Michael

Tis yours.. PM on way...

Advert on page 16 updated...
