I saw my first Storm grey VR last week, and must say they look stunning in the flesh! Looks like all that research and waiting has paid off :)

I think I remember reading something about them. I'll have a search and see what I can find, although I imagine they'd still need welding?

Anyone know a welder PLEASE :)

Anyone got one going cheap cheap? I don't mind if it's a bit dirty as I'm going to paint it. Clips intact would be a bonus though!

Cleaned inside my rear arches for the first time ever! I never knew they were meant to be ABP too! Also waxed it for the first time in a couple of years :)

I've got a set of Mk3 Golf Recaros in my car at the moment, set up to run on a Mk2 so they sit very high compared to regular Corrado seats, my heads about an inch from the roof! I've put up with it for over a year but I want to do a few track days soon and realised there's no way I'll fit in with a helmet on. I guess it's just a case of cutting the subframe off as high as possible, welding in some flat Corbeau bases that I have, and then weld the 3 Corrado legs on in the correct place? Would anyone on here be able to to give me a hand sorting this out? :)

I had a good look at your new brakes at Stealth on Friday. Look absolutely stunning! :) Did you not time the car when it you did that feature at Santa Pod? It must be capable of high 11s / low 12s I'd imagine with a good surface.

Did I see this out the back of Stealth on Friday? I thought I recognised the wheels from somewhere!

Does anyone happen to know what ID Vacuum hose is needed to fit a boost gauge to a VRT? Edit: Would these be ok for secruing said Vacuum hoses: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6mm-1-4-Vacuum-Spring-Clip-Action-Hose-Clamps-x-10-pcs-/310322429445?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4840a87e05

Did you ever get anywhere with that undertray idea? I remember reading about it ages ago :)

If you're thinking of going Turbo, I beard the R32 sump can be a pain to weld for the turbo oil line. not impossible though!

How is yours running now Harry? Mine is seemingly getting worse!

I'm not normally lol, having just spunked ~£6500 on my car I'm a little broke. Saying that, you sorted me out pretty well :) Bung us a £5 to cover postage and ill get it sent :)

Hey Karl, Say £25 posted?

I'll do a proper update in the next few days. Picking it up again later today after having Racelogic Traction Control and a few other things done. see sig for a hint at results tho ;) I've missed having it around so much!

I have one too, I sent a PM earlier!

That does look really mint! White with all red rears is a good look in my book. Any plans for it?

Why get the Hottuning one for £220, when for ~£100 you can get it machined properly in the UK, from a genuine VW part?!

Have a standard flywheel going spare if anyone want's to send theirs to get lightened, without having to take the car apart first. Can't recommend HotGolf enough, turnaround was about 4 days! See: http://the-corrado.net/classifieds.php?do=viewitem&itemid=385

Looks stunning! Any more photos of the interior? What paint code are the panels? Late Wings available?

My 2p: I'd keep the brakes and wheels on for now, and get those paintwork issues sorted. Surely if the cars not being used much anyway you can afford to leave it with a paintshop for a couple of weeks; to do in their spare time,it should bring the cost down a bit. A 24v with sorted paint, wheels and brakes (+the rest you've done) is going to be a lot more attractive to potential buyers, as well as making you happier to own it, and maybe even encourage you to drive it more. Also, have you thought about getting a car-cover for it? Would help protect the paint, and keep it nice and shiny between drives.

They are available new from VW for a couple of quid.

Good work on the arches Mat, some serious elbow grease getting them cleaned up. Think I may have to give mine a go this weekend, can't be letting the side down now can I! Are they Hicon-GT coilovers? They look the same as mine, except mine are a horrible fluro-green!

I've already got a BFI front, and VT rear/box so I'm ok for the moment, thanks for the offer though :) When do you think the car will be back on the road?

This build is amazing. Is it full Haldex or Synchro/Haldex mashup?
