Alldub 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi guys, iv just brought my frist corrado !! its a 1995 vr6 in classic green with full storm spec. iam the 2nd owner !! and its only done 80k.. the back seats have never been sat in ! and yes its all standard, evan has the standard head unit.this is all about to change tho... first thing todo was to make sure we still have a car to play with ! so we fitted a viper cat 1 alarm. its very cool with its remote start, meaning i can start the car up in the mornings keeping all the doors locked. once the alarm was fitted i put my Alpine head unit in along with a few other shinny bits that i kept from my last car. as i do think the inside of a corrado needs updating. so it now has a momo steering wheel, chrome heater surounds and a set of audi TT pedals. A custom amp install and uprated speakers will follow soon along with sound deadering the hole car.I already have a set of porsche wheels. along with some FK Konigsport coilovers. they will be fitted up once the bodywork make over is done =) =) theres gonna be alot more to come over the next few months in the way of videos and photos.heres a few pics to start with.bye bye mk3 golf gti colour concept HELLO CORRADO VR6 [img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2527.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2530.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2533.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2534.jpgfitting the alarm...[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2543.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2545.jpgout with the old alarm !!!!!!!!!![img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2544.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2546.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2548.jpgwe took out the inner arch's and removed all the mud... then we started on getting rid of the side indicators. like i said iv got a set of porsche wheels to go on what are 8inch's wide all round so we rolled the front arch's to. once they where rolled and a plate was welded behind the side indicators., we under sealed all up under the arch's to stop any rust. this also helps cut down on the road nosie.[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6364.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6365.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6367.jpgrolling the lip back on the arch's ( sorry for the bad pics ) [img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6369.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6370.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6371.jpgon with the under seal[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6373.jpginner arch back in place[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/102_6379.jpgwe started by removing the rear badge's and rear wiper. taking the rear wipper out was more work than what its worth ! just getting the motor out was a pain :x then you have to grind away the ridge. once a metal plate is wealded up it then needs to be filled. but its half way there now. the same has been done on the rear badge's.we then went over the hole car with a white pen and marked out the imperfections round the hole car i.e scratches dents etc.[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2606.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2620.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2619.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2604.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2609.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2617.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2622.jpg[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2608.jpgmarking out the imperfections round the whole car i.e scratches dents etc.[img: width=640]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a107/debidaph/100_2607_0001.jpgright iv done some more work on the rado today, we have taken the bumpers off as iam taking the rear towing eye out and smoothing the bumper. also the front number plate is going and being smoothed. and iam fitting mazda mx5 mirrors they took some work getting them to fit right but the end look will be really good !!! and as you need to take the door card off to get the mirrors off, i put in some sound deading into the front doors. have some more updates next week........
