sexybourbon 0 Posted June 19, 2014 Not special is the word but it is an added extra , vw decided the corrado didn't need one so water ****es all over the ecu if it's been raining and you open the bonnet , lucky I guess but good all the same Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel29490 10 Posted June 20, 2014 Might not be to everyone's taste, hey I'm still not sure about it. But here goes. While waiting for paint to dry I cleaned up the bench and toolboxes too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel29490 10 Posted June 28, 2014 Right. Been a while. And I've been busy. Sunroof was not working so ripped it out. Removed all sorts of gunk and yuck. Cleaned the channels. Figured out I needed new guides and brackets to make it work. Figured I hated sunroofs anyway so fabricated some brackets to hold the panel secure and bolted everything back up. While the roof lining was out I realized it was mouldy and yuck so a good scrub later I figured paint was the only option. Here goes [ATTACH]79075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]79076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]79077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]79078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]79079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]79080[/ATTACH] The bonnet spongey yuck kept flaking so jet wash and degreaser, gunk remover was involved in a 2 day mission. Anyone embarking on this, to remove the glue use Autoglym intensive tar remover for best results. A bit ghetto but petrol also works a treat!

Cambelt, aux belts and water pump for next stage. One more. Has to be done [ATTACH]79083[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel29490 10 Posted July 11, 2014 Haven't had time to post anything in a while. Corrado is alive. Needs new injector seals to stop it leaking the golden juice. Cambelt & water pump. Alternator belt, power steering belt. Sparkplugs New gaskets (as many as I could change) Most bits cleaned, some even painted. Sunroof all sealed up. Roof lining cleaned and painted black. Brakes given a check, and they will do just fine for another few months easily. All new filters and oils, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid. Taxed & insured & hopefully leak free by next week. Dubstock here I come. Hope you like.
