Well ive had it off a few times this morning..... All sorted....

There is no such thing as a perfect Corrado...

Mine is a one side higher than the other, im not even checking for anything else..... ---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ---------- Respray.. I think most would say that car has had a mega high standard of respray.. To do it again, madness, just straighten your bumpers...

Both mate, i just haven't gotten myself unhappy with the back one yet....

Im pretty much ready, no splitter on yet, not washed and now the bumpers.. Ive got a date with a toothbrush and a drive shaft.. I need to talk to you about that Sunday Kip..... So, bumpers, im assuming the adjustment point are on the brackets that slot into the car, could i do the front with it tilted forward to save having to disconnect the cables?

I bet just about everyones bumpers arent bob on if they look close enough.. Ive got to do the front though, its doing my head in...

I had a feeling it was going to be a pain... I have got an awful lot to get done tomorrow...

I may sound picky but im not 100% happy with the alignment of my bumpers, especially the front. The gap just doesnt seem quite right and isnt constant right the way around... So, who's tweaked theres, any tips, whats the best way of going about this...????

Just had a look on there Kip, may need further details...

Ccgb?

quick route plan, id need to depart before 0430... ouch... ---------- Post added at 8:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 8:05 PM ---------- Who else is coming down? ---------- Post added at 8:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 8:06 PM ---------- Meadowfield, yes about 6 miles... Other side of the city..

I might try and meet you guys there, ill see how far it is from Durham and get back to you...

The colour will depend on how often you fancy cleaning it imagine.. Silver will need more tickling than black..

Today i got all set to swap the sump and filter housing which i have all sorted with all new bits to go on... In typical corrado fashion i noticed that one of the brackets where the power steering pipework passes through the panel wasnt secure, reason a sheared bolt. Great... So after some drilling and tweaking its all sorted.. Have had a good clear up of the areas that just cant be reached while the bumper is off. Itll be all going bacl together tomorrow with all new bolts and spoiler screws. In reality i won't move the car again until October after this weekend so ill leave the jobs i need to do until later when there is more time.. Here she is ready to go back together and one of the spoiler bracket on the washing line after a good clean up and spray..

Pass arrived... Thank you kindly... Best get the car back together...

Im afraid my stupid job means im a cast iron no around that time... Typical...

Ill be there... No doubt...

It was definitely a deal clincher, its a 7 ft wide door and with the car in the middle there is at least 3 ft on either side... The rear panel doesnt look like that anymore...

So would i but i dont have the best of luck with MOTs... Heres the car at its new place... Have been to VW today and have ordered a load more bolts for front and rear bumpers and all fittings for a new oil filter housing to go on.. I still havent done the sump yet so plan is to do that while the filter housing is off.. Ive still got 263s to go in as well.. Am thinking about giving the 70mm splitter a go for a change.. Fingers crossed ill make Stanford next weekend, ive been twice before but the last time was 2008, the 20th anniversary of the Corrado so would be nice to make it again albeit in a different Corrado.....

Is this a Mag feature Kip??????

Possible coilpack.. If you know someone near who has one it may be worth swapping it over to see how it behaves..

Im a definite for this.. Anyone got any idea of times, anyone going from the Durham area???

Seems very appropriate Kip.. Good thinking...

If i go an stay at my parents the night before ill be heading down the M1 from Durham so may well jump in on this...

Donation sent... Nice to see a tidy sum gathering..
