Just spotted this, may save you a bit of time and money mate. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-corrado-4wd-shell-with-vw-mk2-golf-rallye-g60-floor-vw-syncro-full-roll-cage-/261259533553?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cd4481cf1

Outer trim is very easy to remove and put back on so just make sure it has not been damaged by the fitter. Check the front headlining trim and A pillars afterward though, mine has obviously been changed without it being removed in the past, and has a couple of pretty large cuts all the way through. The front headlining trim is also now bonded on as well so will be a nightmare to remove if I need to! I reckon they probably tell everyone they'll need it the full day if they're taking it into the workshop. That way if any problems occur they have time to rectify/bodge them without you knowing!

God damn that G60 looks good now! Can't wait to see more updates on the VR! I really need to pull my finger out now too!

Yeah yeah yeah, more posts and pics! Always good to see a good build thread come from the beginning to end!

Very different! Looks like a Corrocco now! :lol: Get some more photos from different angles Dan, be good to see what its like from afar too. :thumbleft:

Nothing is ever straightforward is it! Good work mate!

I'll PM you mate.

Led twice against the not so "mighty Bradford" and still couldn't manage a win........... Early days, but Jay Emmanuel-Thomas looked fantastic from what I've heard. Seven new first team players will always need time to bed in, but the usual defensive mistakes cost us again with two very soft goals conceded. Hopefully it'll get better in time, and tbf I'd never have thought we would be dominating so early on in the season. Onwards and Upwards though hopefully! COYR!

Looks good to me, though I'm no expert. I'd go at least 16 row with a charger though unless you'll be doing track days regularly.

Good news buddy! Did you ask them to quote you for the same work the other lot quoted you 3k for? You never know, it may be very reasonable and there's nothing better than a recommend from someone like Eric who's paintwork is immaculate!

I use Carpro Perl. Its very dilutable so goes a very long way. Excellent on all exterior and interior plastics at different ratios, as well as tyres too!

Welcome! Sounds like a very exciting prospect! Look forward to hearing updates on this and routes you will take fabbing this up. Don't think it will be very straightforward, but good luck all the same mate!:thumbleft:

I've just SORN'd mine for the month as I've a few jobs to do. :bonk: If they tell you some weirdo in a Gray Saab was waving at them like a spaz, it was me! :lol:

:wave::wave::wave:

I find it harder to read with the light blue on white...

Around the 6k mark for it to be done properly, but maybe half that using used parts and doing it all yourself for a reasonable setup I think.

According to the handbook, every 20k. I'd say its worth changing them now, it'll give you a good couple of years hassle free motoring on that respect then. You can pull them out in a few months/few K time and inspect the electrodes to make sure its running reasonably well then too.

111,260 or 111,126 miles would be my guess...............

Iron out or other Iron removers are excellent, but won't remove all surface contaminants that clay will. There are a couple of pics on my gallery showing Iron-X at work and it really is good stuff! The Iron Out does exactly as it says really, removes Iron and ferrous metal fallout that has been airborn. If you have a white or silver car, you may have noticed very small little rust spots all over the paint from time to time. This removes it all, and its amazing how much is actually on there! The clay removes some of this, but also concentrates on other things like tree sap and carbon deposits as well as tar etc. Again tar remover will be better for what its supposed to be for, but clay is a great all rounder when you don't want or need to do a FULL decontamination of the paintwork. Great write up though Fay, I've not used the Nanolex shampoos or any Blackfire Polishes tbh. I'll deffo look into the Blackfire when I need a new polish in the not too distant future! :thumbleft:

My team is Bristol City. Having been relegated to league1 after being on the verge the last couple of years, I'm optimistic that we should have at least a fighting chance of a play off place. We were underachievers the last couple of years with the quality we had, although most of the decent players were in the wrong position to stave off relegation. With the majority of decent players now gone to teams still in the Championship, we have added some young yet talented players. Albert Adomah is our star and will be phenomenal in league1 if we keep hold of him, although as his contract is up next summer and Wigan, Palace, and Cardiff all falling short of our estimations on what he is worth, know they have us over a barrel as the price is dwindling week upon week the longer it drags on. Financially we should cash in now. Financial fair play has also forced our hand a little, but Steve O'Driscoll is a man we trust to turn things around and re-energise the club. Apart from the federations cup its been a miserable summer for me so I cant wait for it to begin! COYR!

I kind of agree with Dox. The list you want doing is going to cost you a fair whack anyway so the little saving and extra hassle will be offset. The price stealth quote will include things like gaskets etc. Bear in mind they'll have a trade account anyway, and have never been accused of ripping people off, I think the price for parts will be pretty decent regardless. You'll be paying very little extra for labour either as most of the stuff you're saying will need to come off regardless. I'd give them a bell and ask for a quote as well as any suggestions they may have to replace things. They may well be happy for you to supply parts, they're quite a friendly bunch by all accounts!

You'll need to have a play with the Konigsports though. They have adjustable dampening, but they need to be off the car to adjust! Mine are set a little firm for my liking, and I can't be arsed to remove them yet to adjust! KW V1-3 seem to be all the rage though.

Shocked and surprised like everyone else! I've said the same thing in Jims thread, but every single one of us will eventually move on. Lots of peoples time for that has come now, and most have been very very good examples. If you can afford to run a TT as a runaround, and your keeping the lid on the "dream car", I'd say its not about making loads of money and you can afford it anyway. Put it up for sale as a whole, have your price in mind and keep to it quite strictly ensuring you maximise the money you'll get, and if it doesn't sell then break it for parts. Others are moving on as they don't want to plough any more money into a car where they'll never see a return on that outlay. You've done the big expensive stuff, and have another car in mind so that's fair enough. Time to pass the baton on to the next person, and remember your time in Corrado ownership fondly.

Excellent work Sean, you'll have an amazing car when its all back together! :thumbleft:
