Generally used to describe a 16v Corrado… either the 1.8 or 2.0..

No worries Neil.. Cant help but feel you need to keep that Mk2 though mate, its brilliant..

I havent Jim I'm afraid.. There are still some bits to come so will know 100% by the weekend hopefully

Some more parts added.. Just to note i have a large amount of black interior trim (carpets, door cards, boot panels, centre console etc etc. Job lot of parts is available if anyone needs..

Exhaust back box collected today, wasn't just the picture making it look good. Excess weld splatter removed around the pipe to box joint and it does look like its been chromed, delighted.. Centre section is now away for ceramic treatment, i hope it looks nice and will last… Had a good afternoon on the car yesterday, almost ready for a complete new set of brake lines to go on..

I can't comment on durability but the G-techiq gives a lovely matt finish on rubber, they almost look grey rather than a gloss black..

passenger side only, and not cheap...

I have another plug removal tool. I'll sort a picture out this evening. I'll drop you a a little later to sort details out.

PM sent...

Great, thanks for letting me know.. Small bump for the listed items, I'm hoping to have some more on in the next couple of days.. All needs to go so i am willing to listen to sensible offers for multiple purchases..

I find the whole teapot thing so wrong, its impersonal, i like to know my cuppa was crafted soley for me...

Ive generally stuck with this one.. http://www.vagcat.com/index.php?

You can indeed…message inbound..

Kind words James, just want to do it justice and there is no point taking the underneath to bits and doing half a job. Ill start fitting the brake lines next week while everything starts coming together. No great rush but id like the back end all sorted then ill do the heater matrix and dash wiring rewrap. After that ill move to the front end, wishbones, driveshafts etc.. Bumper and slam panel will be going for paint and then it will be going back together will brand new lights..

2 tins, ill take that bet..If i lose the bet it goes in for polishing every year...

Im looking forward to seeing it for real on Monday, certainly does like nice from that shot though..

Indeed...

Received a sneak preview of the exhaust today, has come up very nicely..

You are welcome Jon.. BBS centres for Solitudes added...

Brake disc price amended and more parts added..

If you saw the history folder you'd see why, it has been a no expense spared affair for a long time.. I don't want to get too precious of it as the intention is to use it, having said that since i got it: Wash, clay, wash, medium abrasive polish topped up with a polish/sealant. Leather cleaned and conditioned Rear wheels off, cleaned inside and out and a lot of dirt out the arches, fronts tomorrow. Replacement rocker cover and fan cowling away for blast and powder coat… All this is normal for a run around i hope...

205, there can't be many people who don't like them.. Looks in good shape, I've been following them for a while and values are strong for good examples..

There won't be any wheel changes… I don't want the VR to be jealous...

Its a bit rough round the edges but is such an honest car.. 156k old yesterday…

No problem, glad it arrived safely...
