Got a pair of wheels to go up front to roll about on which is kinda handy.

But have just won these on e-bay

Should look spanking with a nice dark refurb

And these are a must for the project

Looking forward to the end result there matey

Looking good Ross. Bay should look mint when all done. Got news my loom will be with me tues/wed this week so hopefully get it running.

You keeping with the 288 discs as i know a lot of people are running the 312mm on the corrados now.

Should of said you wanted those wheels as got a set of them in the garrage gathering dust.

I did think of running 312mm brakes but really want to stick to 15" wheels. I got the Speedlines for

A few more bits from the parts collection..

I love it when a plan comes together!

So, how much are you going to want for it when it's finished?

Oooo now there is a good question..lol.

Sod it i'm keeping one for a change!

Ooooh, Speedlines will look mint mate

And I LOVE bonnet pins :drool:

Oooo now there is a good question..lol.

I'm sure you'll get itchy feet after a few months! make sure you let me know first as I did ask first lol.

A little update from a few hours spent on the car this morning. Dropped it down on four wheels for the first time in god knows how long. Popped a wing back on to see what it would look like, quite happy with the track increase. Also stripped the engine down to the block. Will clean up all removed parts, probably stip down the head and check valves, re lap in and change stem seals etc.

Front wheels are only temp and I havent got any brakes fitted up atm so will sit a little further out

Owww nice to see it coming along still Ross

My 'new' wheels have arrived, not bad for

Excellent - classic wheelage!

A lot of good work there, Ross. I'm sensing you have a soft spot for 5 spoke star shaped alloys with a dark powdercoat?

They will look even better once your clean them up and then get them rebalanced with weights on the inside

The only sad thing about you having those legendary wheels Ross is that there is now, somewhere, a Corrado not wearing them :(

Well the Corrado could be no more, who knows.

And yes, I dont know why I have this inclination to buy an old set of genuine wheels and paint them a dark hue, very odd.

No worries on that, my refurb man does a brilliant job on my rims.

You can't beat dark 5 spokes.

I loved my Platnium Grey TT Comps.

Ordered my tyres, went for some 185/45 15s in the end

bit late.....but I really really like them wheels

Should look good on there, will need spacers at the back, maybe some up front we shall see.

Plan on doing a little more up the unit tomorrow, got a little side tracked today with an Octavia.

Looking a bit better now, quick coat of primer to see if anything else needs attention..

Few areas still need a little bit of love so still got work to do.

Looking good.
