    my brother gave the car a machine polish once the paint had hardened while I rest and levelled out the suspension then had an amazing trip to edition and back but reality set in getting it ready for an mot ....I knew one of the front struts was on its way out so had sourced another replacement insert but when I was swapping the tyres over to my old wheels to redo the autostradas I noticed the other front was starting to look slightly moist around the top Decided I might as well get new coils :/ unusually for me i've left the helper springs in and at a 'reasonable' height for mot pupo

    3500 with a new mot and the remaining tax...kinda forgot about the build thread when I started the for sale thread so missed your post sorry... Wish I could say ive had trouble free motoring but although its had glimmers off magic(whatever happens we'll always have the edition 11 road trip <3 )the road has not all been plain sailing(yes,I like mixing my metaphors ) sourced(from ben the main man <3)a poly bushed VR subframe,cleaned and painted it up a bit and got a few other new add ons while I was in that area

    been every year,doubt next year will be the first I miss but usually stay at grays at the otherside of telford,usully works out cheaper and the shopping centre is ideally located for the more avant garde to obtain interim drinky poo's

    change in licence status forces sale..........raging is not an unappropriate statement. Back when I got stopped for speeding(en route to hospital when my mum had been in the crash @pg6-8 iirc)and they said my licence had expired and I was being charged with it but I got the summons through for the start of next month and theyve done me for driving without a licence and no insurance....Just when im getting to the point of having a clean,reliable car and I get this thrown at me. Im gutted but just going to fully track prep my mk1 to keep me busy till the ban is up but I dont want/cant have the c

    RCF - a sump guard wouldnt be any use for me,it would just sit on the ground constantly When im fitting the subframe ive got blocks to fit that will raise the engine and take the sump out the firing line. And it really was just down to a run of bad luck and combination off bad roads/circumstances. Ive never done a sump in in my life before

    Cheers The bentleys will be getting recoated then out to the side for winter and general running but the teledial splits were meant to be on a while ago to run through summer but things got complicated Ive got another set of splits coming and I hope once the running issues are sorted(soon as the bushes are all done the headgasket is getting done)ill be able to start enjoying it. Also just bought another corrado as a parts car which I swore I wouldnt do when I decided to keep it but between mine, Stu's, Ed's and his missus Jenna's corrados I thought it was only fair to add to the parts pool

    big BIG thanks again to Ed for painting the centres(and stu for the clear ) Run up and back to some stuff I had to sort stuff out the rubbing was increasing though.The front right is rubbing pretty bad from the leading edge under acceleration(wishbone bushes just gave up the ghost),the fr/ps is iffy going round right handers and the rears pretty cool considering the bootload its carrying but pics after settling.....

    The adaptors for the gold wheels arrived but they were not drama free,basically a screw up got the wrong drawing sent to the adaptor maker so had to wait on new ones coming....... Adaptors arrived about half 1-2pm. Wasnt going to polish the sides but thought itd be rude not too,got them chromed again as theyre steel and I didnt fancy rust dripping onto the wheels. The chromer wanted something bolted in to wire these up so rather than having a pair off bolts kinda shiny I put in all five so all the wheel bolts got a tickle of chrome as well Went to my tyre fitter mates bit to get the tyres on

    Limping it about with the head gasket on the way out(no cross contamination and if you drive very easy its not throwing the water out all the time) not just a random quick reset whilst on the motorway either And not even an isolated occurence :shock: also,picked this up at the scottish vag glasgow meet

    corrado decided to drop its engine on the ground............ drivers side bumper bolts came loose by some combination of errors and fell out basically so that side of the cross member was only being held up by an m6 bolt or whatever it is with a 13mm head which also eventually came out depositing the sump literally on the ground. Id just got the day off for tomorrow sanctioned and was heading from asda to the nearest jetwash when it all literally went down my brother came to the rescue,left the pictures(his anniversary no less)and brung down the trolley jack.Banged a widow maker under the sill
