Wow.. you really know how to detail a car! Fancy doing mine?!

 

Have thought about de-wipering my Rado too as I do really like how smooth the back end looks without it... hmmm........ seeing as your Rado looks quite similar to my new one, at least I can see how it would look! :)

 

Glad you bought it back mate, and are giving it the love it needs! Previous owner doesn't look like he'd ever seen a bucket and sponge! :|

yea Jim loving words there. i felt reli sorri for it thats why i bought it back i saw it and was like AUGH! PLEASE NO! ... he was threatening to sell it to a chav that would rag it to death then the C would b dead...

my only plans 4 this baby is to do everthing i drempt about doing to it... and since its my second car it will be my hobby and show car. in this thread day by day ill keep everyone updated with all the little tweaks im doing and in the end it will all be worth it!

well chaps long time no post on here but just to let u all know im still alive and kicking around and slowly getting back into the corrado scene.

earlier 2day i was helping him service his VR6 and well ive worked on loads of diffrent VW engines like 1.8 8v, 1.8 16v, 2.0 16v, 1.8 20vT and like G60's but nva a VR

well its covered 100k now and we were doing the normal oil change, oil filter and like new spark plugs..

well we came a little stuck when the spark plug were like 10ft deep into the engine and well couldent put em back in or when we did we couldent put the HT leads back on teh tops of em... soo we stoped.. the probelm is the inlet manifold its totall in the way and makes it soo difficult to put em back on so after a while of playing we put em back on but its misfiring and not sparking correctaly..

soo were both woundering if VW use a special VR6 like spark ply tool?????

any help appriated...

cheers..
