Goldies 94 VR6… New Daily...

Recommended Posts

thank you kindly…

 

Have finished all the wiring now and put it all back into position. Ive also removed wax oil and dirt that was hidden or impossible to get to while the loom was in position.. Ive started to put a few bits back under the bonnet now before moving onto the next task - new starter in, refurbed front engine mount bracket in and more gearbox cleaning..

 

Im still waiting on some of the clips needed to put in the new windscreen trim pieces, shouldn't be long though fingers crossed..

 

Intending on getting the compomotives back on as its wearing 2 x speedlines. While they are off ill detail the arches (again). The speed lines will probably be up for sale shortly as to be honest the are not needed and with some new wheels on the way i don't want to fill the garage. The new wheels will need a slight tickle but not much. I hope they look ok, they had better do anyway….

The wheels are just to give it an alternative look, they aren't a replacement to the compomotives.. As we all know change of wheels can make a car look totally different so i like the idea of a quick change..

 

Who mentioned BBS James??? ill answer with pictures once they are here...

Sorry James.

 

Loved this car on the RH ZW1's, and the CH's (would like either for mine). Please tell Michael.

Sorry Chris but you have the cleanest set of rs301's in "Britain" and you want a truly lesser wheel :bonk::bonk::bonk:

Have a look for Zaks blackberry on here. He ran CHs and ZW1s.. RS301s are sublime but if you see this car you'll understand what Chris means.. Different look, not the 'classic' image but absolutely amazing...

I've seen Zak's corrado before, I had his thread on my favourites!! The corrado sitting low on ZW1 / CH's with a small amount of tyre stretch just looks like nothing else.

It was/is such a great car.. He nailed it with every set of wheels.. I didn't like the CHs against Satin silver but on a Blackberry they were unreal..

Check out page 4 & 5, but for some reason I dont think the deeper dish RS's work.

Just shows you that all a Corrado needs is the right set of wheels and lowering

Best way to do it is just do it like they are any old wheel's so there is no pressure on fitter allowing him to do his job without worrying easy

Car now sat on compomtives all round. HAd a nightmare as the socket jumped off the ratchet and has damaged the surface of one of the wheels, not happy.. Well on a plus side it was the one where i had 'touched it up' and there is another one that isn't 100% so ill be off to the refurbers next week with 2 compomotives and two of these…

I hope the colours of both can be matched as the Mos are a slightly darker silver...
