Before Grotty as fuck ! Getting better And painted up

Welcome to the first of this years "car of the month". This one goes to Richie Caldwell or richierich37 as he's known on the forum. I'm sure some of you would have already seen the build thread on Richies car, and if you have you'll be able to appreciate the time, effort, patience and not mention money he's ploughed into building a simplistic but truly one off mulberry highline! From the seats and interior, right down to the sump, no stone has been left unturned, and Richie himself admits one of his most favoured features is in fact the painted sump!! I told him he was wrong and it is actually

One of the lads on a Scoob site I go on bought an old dishwasher . Fitted it in his garage . He cleans all bloody sorts with it from suspension parts . Etc if it fits in it he washes it !!

Just a few shots of my current Corrado. 1994, 94k miles Ice Grey Violet VR6 with some subtle mods.

Got the heater matrix in and engine running. Other than the immobiliser stopping us from firing it up it ran very well. Just need to get the dash back in now Then mot.

Haha thats ace , i stuck my rocker cover through the house one ! And the chain covers and a few other bits , ideally you do not want to be running it with dishwasher salt

@jd's thanks for the advice man, but why not try r32oc for more specific answers to your questions which only you know. Why not try asking a question for us to answer? We may just know it. There are many wise (and old) r32 owners on here. Most of them already know everything they need to so hence why the little amount of questions on thus section. We have 12,000 regular visitors on this site and if you don't ask, you don't get. That is not a constructive post. That doesn't give us advice on what to help you with or how we can be of service. Frankly it's just rude. Please be more constructiv

Ah fair enough. I did have a couple emails bounced back to me from their email address but went through okay in the end. Was fairly recent too. Infact it has just popped up that they are online to chat on here, could be worth a go

On a lighter note jd is that your initials or your favourite tipple ? Honey jd is nice lol . Yes sorry folks I'm daft !!

Lovely

You need a polo 9n rear stub, lupo Gti brake carrier/spacer, polo 9n wheel bearing and then your choice of discs and caliper setup. I went for seat Toledo v5 vented rear

Congrats man

Very nice car, love the interior.

Oh sheeeeeet. Many people have tried and they have all failed. I don't mean to disappoint. Well I do haha. Even I don't know what posses me. All I know is, I quite like it [emoji12] [emoji23] [emoji12] [emoji23] Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hello again all ! Sorry for the delay in replying...., been very busy with work, chassis building, writing off my nice shiny 2010 3.0T A6..., buying an even nicer shiny 2010 S6..., sorting out a few issues with that, house buying etc etc !! However !, the chassis is coming together very well..., the front and rear sub assemblies from a 2008 S5 are attached, I had the propshaft in the lathe the other day and that is mocked up, the boost pipwwork parts and exhaust are all on the way to completion. The inlet and exhaust manifolds, turbo, gearbox adapter plate from a Passat 2.3V5 (same bell housin

Well it's is now in my hands So now need to get cracking and get the heater matrix fitting and service done Get it through the mot and I can start having some fun. Really need to get the coilovers off the red b4 and get them on the vr too Standard height is no good.

Or simply join the R32oc which is also a very informative and friendly forum!! You never know, they may show more interest in an r32 but don't count on it, chances are your best place to try would be the jeep Cherokee owners club

What are you smoking?

Right little update. Took the block and head to my local engine machinist. To pressure test, clean and hone the block it's going to cost £100 To pressure test, clean and skim if needed the head it will cost £115 So 215 notes in total. I don't think that's too sad to be honest Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

if you want to go DIY get in there an scrub to be honest mate, foam degreaser or thinners and a scouring pad 1st. get all the grim and muck off, then give it a good jet wash. this will remove minimal rust aswell. dry block thoroughly inside and out. Depending if you wish to remove all rust, I would use a flap wheel on a drill, get a few different sizes as it make it easier to get all areas. then once it all removed give the whole out side block a sand by hand. with about 320 grit. apply some kind of chemical rust treatment / prevention for bare metal. Paint with high temperature paint. light
