April 28: ordered Rieger grille/hood spoiler combo
May 14: removed pass side mirror, headliner, antenna, rear spoiler, blasted and painted the two brackets that hold to the spoiler
may 14 rear section of roof - may 14 pass door - may 14
May 15: removed right rear tire to keep from getting overspray on it - was rusted on pretty good. Took a look at the rear subframe - pretty rusty with chunks of rust falling off of it. I think another one might have to be put up in there.
May 21: I found a moonroof out of a '96 Passat - took everything apart down to getting the headliner out - I'm going to wait until the car is about to be painted to take that sunroof out and do the swap.
June 1: The Rieger grill/hood spoiler combo I ordered finally came today FedEx. Looks good - we just need to prep it and paint it - all red I'm thinking.
June 5: I was given a rear sub frame from a '91 GTI that will be blasted and possibly powder-coated. It's in much better condition than the one on the C I think. Thanks Chris.
July 23: Rear subframe out of the GTI blasted and primed.

July 29: Blasted 2 subframe brackets and bolts and primed them.
Aug. 14: Painted bolts and nuts from subframe.
Aug. 20: Straightened both front fenders where they were damaged in the very front.

Here are some pics of underneath the car...I didn't have a chance to jack it up, but you can see some of the rust under there that will be taken care of.

Sept. 4: Moved the Corrado into a working position. Removed left rear wheel (with a little pulling and tugging) and put the spare on.
Sept. 16: Took front subframe apart. I started blasting it, but decided to have it done - it was taking way too long. Blasted and painted brackets that attach the 2 pieces of the front subframe.
Sept 23: Started sanding right rear quarter panel. Removed gas tank filler door and sanded it.
Feb. 27: Removed rear calipers, housings, brake pads. Blasted caliper housings.
Apr. 8: Removed rear springs and struts.

more pictures of the project coming as I go along.
