Nice, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

[PaulMoVR6 0]

I payed £2400 a year and a half ago its been a joy to own i have really fallen in love with these cars. :D

Just gave the car a quick wash thought i would take a few pics of how she is looking now. Iam the worlds worst photographer though

 

I have replaced the following in the last few weeks;

- de- wipered the rear

- smoked rear clusters

- Red/black leather seats

- black leather doorcards

- new disks and pads all round, just went for standard ones for now

- replaced the chavy exhaust with another stainless steel system(don't know what kind it is though)

- replaced bonnet cable

- new fuel pump

- just serviced it myself all new filters and fluids and some new spark plugs

- and most importantly a corrado forum sticker fitted to the rear O/S window :D

 

I want to get some new alloys but have no idea what to go for so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great, i just want to enjoy driveing it for the time being.

looks good - love the interior, would look awesome in my red c :lol:

 

if it were me i'd put a black vw badge on the back rather than the chrome one...

Cheers mate i do love the interior i think it suits the colour of the car.

 

yeah i was planning to put the chrome badge back on the front and keep the chrome one on the rear

Looking good Paul. The interior looks good ! It definately goes better with the black door cards. Did you get starting issues sorted out ?

 

get my boot lid back from the painter this weekend, so MOT time soon, might actually get to drive it soon.

Thanks for the replys guys

 

yeah it was my fuel pump that was goosed steve got another one fitted it and she fired up first time :D yeah i do love the interior, i now want to replace pretty much all of the front suspension components and maybe try and get a engine rebuild

 

when you think you will have it MOT d steve?

MOT ? not sure yet. It should be ready to go, once the tail gate goes on. Just got to tweak the rear bearings as I haven't checked them since i put them on in Sept and may rebleed the brakes as still an bit spongy since i fitted the rear calipers. Really just need to get it MOT'd do i can get it to the paint shop for the last bit of painting. Know what you mean about the front end, collected all me parts for shot balsting and coating, and about to order all the bushes, etc. all going well this phase should be finshed by July.. funds allowing.

 

Who up your way would do the engine rebuild ?

[PaulMoVR6 0]

What else you planning on doing to your car steve? just MOT it and drive it?lol, i forgot how much i loved to drive them haveing not driven mine for 6 weeks or so,

 

Well there aren't very many specialists up here infact there is only and he has started doing MOTs so he has no time to do the work. I would prefer to take it somewhere who knew the VR6 engine well but its hard up here to find someone. I have a couple of mechanic friends who could do it but i just don't know at this stage. I thought about haveing ago myself but thought against it in the end.
