dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 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 corrado laid up for however long so the difficult decision was made to sell it Link to post Share on other sites

dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 my brother gave the car a machine polish once the paint had hardenedwhile I rest and levelled out the suspensionthen 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 puposes and the new owner(when he turns up)can decide what height he wants to run it atalso decided while I was in the area I might as well fit new top mountsno pics of it back on the old wheels till ive gave them a coat of paint though as theyre pretty gay Link to post Share on other sites

dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 ben,the interior is still standard which is crying out for a recovering in leather and tbh it still needs a bit of love from someone that fancies getting a bit anal with the cleaning impliments,normally id have at least have had the underside wiped down and if I couldve found a spare corrado VR axle idve had that cleaned up and polybushed too so theres still lots of room to improve on this really. I still want to take the rest off the under bonnet soundproofing off as its very patchy and id like to tidy up the engine bay and hide some stuff but its really time to stop tinkering and get serious with my mk1 Link to post Share on other sites

dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I semi rushed building them for a scottish show,basically I never powdered the barrels which is a pet peave of mine when a customer cheaps out and only does the bits you can see so I stripped them to powder the barrels really but noticed the (wet painted)centres had took a couple stone chips so getting them redone in some special sourced BBS gold powdercoat to stop it happening again and ill give the lips a once over while im there Link to post Share on other sites
