kennyvr671 10 Posted December 27, 2018 Hello there people. Ask my worry this project hasn't died 😂 I've actually been flat out working on it spending most nights in the unit and I'm hoping it will be on the road by the start of next summer:D . But yeah so basically it's had it's full respray!! And it looks absolutely amazing if do say so :) . I helped the body work out every day it was there sanding down and doing the bits you can't get wrong 🙈 but yeah all sprayed and back in the unit and since then Iv been busy building it back up. Iv completly retrimmed the headlining in faux Swade and coloured everything to follow black apart from the healingin sunroof trim sale thing which im not sure on how to colour and the sunroof controls which again I'm not sure on how to colour. Most of the interior us back in just waiting on seals and bits to finish it off. And if started rewrapping all of the wiring loom and routing it ready to have the engine in. I'll try and keep the updates more regular now that there's actually stuff happening. And I look forward to seeing any of you guys at the shows next year :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveM 10 Posted December 29, 2018 Massively jealous of the azevs mate, had a set on my valver and loved them :thumbleft: Had a set on my G40 back in the 90's, still got 'em in the loft. They will reappear one day, if ever I get time to restart my Derby project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kennyvr671 10 Posted January 16, 2020 and then this is the engine bay being built up ready for the engine, i bought some copper/nickel brake pipe and the tools and made all the brake lines myself, its actually very satisfying. and the re-wrapping all the wiring harness with Tesa loom tape and shortening and lengthening bits to route it where i want it to go. and then i recovered the headlining and sunroof with faux suede so its all black, managed to source a black sunroof controls and Porsche black sunvisor clips but i just painted the sunvisors, then the interior could start to fitted starting with the dash.

kennyvr671 10 Posted January 17, 2020 so these are the last pictures I've got, to date, i managed to get some proper gold wrap from the race team i work for to wrap the manifold and i'll wrap the intake elbow my brother made ( i just don't want to cover up those welds also some more pictures of the nice shiny paintwork and the interior all finished. i have to say the 02J shifter conversion is amazing! battery relocated into the boot and just needs a sealed battery in there and battery box. and then the latest pictures of the engine bay pretty much just needs fuel lines and it can be started. i managed to grab some bits of carbon from work too and make a couple covers with them :D which i think finishes of the engine bay nicely.

kennyvr671 10 Posted January 17, 2020 Not that i would say I'm any kind of expert with any of this at all, but if anyone needs some advice about the stuff I've done or wants a hand I'm very happy to help and give my knowledge of how i did everything. the corrado community have helped me massively, everyone has been so happy to help me, so it'd be nice to give back a bit :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ABV-VR6 12 Posted January 20, 2020 Omg, I'm speechless... Absolutely stunning! This is the ultimate restoration and I'm getting inspired by you thank you! I'm travelling right now and just on my phone, can't wait to see all your pictures on my computer. Couple of questions? Your setup is without abs right? What about power steering? And that gold foil, where did you get that? At Mclaren or what ;) keep up the good work, wish I was in the UK... Cheers mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers mate Haha I wouldn't call it the ultimate restoration, theres alot better restorers out there than me, I just want to learn and make it look how I want it 😂 but that's awsome if its inspiring you, you got much planned with yours mate? And yess I've deleted the whole abs system so all the wiring and everything, took a while to source the right servo and master cylinder but it was worth it, and yeah deleted the power steering system too so just looped the steering rack for now and got a shorter aux belt (it has to be narrower too) and hahaha I wish I worked for McLaren 😂 I got it from the British super bike team I mechanic in, called FS3 Kawasaki, I've managed to grab a few bits that were laying around, that's where the carbon cover came from too 🙈 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
