My 3.2 24v 4WD Track Corrado

Had a mammoth 12 hour session in the garage yesterday. Happy to report that I eventually got a decent flywheel that fitted, and it's all on (in?). box went on fine (apart from being enormously heavy! I can only JUST lift it on my own). slight problem with subframe (it's off a SEAT toledo, needs some extra holes drilling in it). got the engine sat on it's mounts around lunchtime yesterday.

I seam welded the front x-member form end to end then ground the welds smooth and painted it all (and the rad support). p***ing about cleaning and painted stuff is what's taking up all the time.

got the cams in and new sprockets and all timed up. engine is ready to finally close up now.

still waiting on the samco's and a fuel hose from the dealers and some rad fans (they can wait). so by the end of today is should be almost ready to fire up! but seeing as I'm awaiting bits I'll have to do the wishbones and brakes instead. it might be sat on it's wheels by tonight. Ready to roll out next weekend.










Haven't finished polishing the VGI yet, but I thought I'd throw it on anyway.

and it's a bit bl00dy close to the bonnet!!

polsihed speedlines for now..........until my others are ready and the arches are rolled (not in time for inters though)

 

lookin foward to see'in it paul,knowin you i bet it shifts a bit, i might be able to meet you the night before inters and sell you some interesting wheels, (16' merc e-class with adaptors) look good on your doe'

 

looking good mate.

Now you just got to mate up the prop and rear diff to the corrado, you know it makes sense

stef

 

You going to sources a VR6 connet for it eventually Paul?

Looking very good, nice to see you kept the block bright orange! Looking forward to seeing it at Inters.

 

Looks mint. Love the polished VSR.

 

Great job Paul!!

 

That wouldn't happen be an O2M box would it? Now they are bloody heavy. The custom box I had on my car I chopped in for it was feather weight compared to it.

I soon found out why two people put it in the boot of my car whne I tried to lift the bugger out!!

Looking good though Paul
