The "Norfolk Black"

Recommended Posts

Picked this up back in May, started the rebuild slowly, but getting to know some good people on here, this forum has been great, special thanks to lilfuzzer and VEEDUBBED.

Does anyone know this car? It was auto but Stealth converted it to manual few years ago......c4cc47cfe1089e6af4238cadf906592b.png

Never seen this much rust in this particular area on a rado before. It was stood about for a few years I suppose, however looking forward to receiving that replacement panel Lilfuzzer!

Ouch that is alot of rust. You replacing the panel yourself? Hope it hasn't eaten to far into the quarters.

 

It's gone up into the boot seal, think it's a bit over my welding skills! so will farm it out I think or see if a mate can do.

Apart from that corner it's not too bad, can't wait to get a new skin on him.

Looks like its had a tap up the bum and a replacement panel fitted in the past without ant rust prevention so its rotted inside out.

 

A shell cut will sort that for minimal outlay - panel wise anyway.

So found a universal leather arm rest for a corrado on German eBay that I thought I might trial as it was only about €14. Can get in the three different leather colours black, beige and grey so just thought I'd post a few pictures of it. It does require screwing into the handbrake housing cover which I wasn't prepared to do, but think you could use a good industrial strength double sided tape to maybe hold it in place but does depend on how heavy your arm is!

Also it might favour our auto gearbox gents as when changing gear can get in the way! Might be just the way I drive 4f85619ffd079d48d359023b4ddde522.jpgbf5fb354ab03057b04bc35a921f86c44.jpg1cf81e7b2c373c8082242f81f684a1d2.jpg

How are you finding the armrest? Is it actually real leather or simulated?
