Haha! If you check your facebook message requests a man with a dog and a beard has messaged you, sadly not to buy them, but I hope you appreciate my detective skills :bonk: It's far from 'free' trust me haha

Sorry just seen this reply! I don't get on here often haha. Well about that....I have been hoarding my mk2 in storage simply because I can't bring myself to sell it as it has my beloved 3.2 in it. (Which in my eyes is the corrados engine, yes I could get another in future but this is a mega low milage one and plus I've had it 4 years now so it's got sentimental value, same as the corrado it came from) So the 1.8t conversion I built up is off in the mk2 so I can sell it on, & I will start on with the corrado soon. Engine bay first so I can get the R32 sat back in after a refurb then go from there really. Just in the midst of self employment and sorting a workshop so once that's done it'll have somewhere nice and dry to be worked on. The corrado is currently looking VERY sorry for itself in the yard. I am kicking myself for spraying it white, as it just added yet another layer of paint on that I'll have to strip back, ah well such is life! Anyway, just finishing converting my mk2 caddy to a pd130 then i'll start on the corrado! I really can't wait, I bloody miss driving it.

Seems the way to go doesn't it! Got to have the Vr noise, but 12v's are getting on a bit now and 24v's are plentiful.

Well hello. Status update: R32 removed, put it in my mk2 track car- selling that soon. Corrado recieving a 1.8t in near future (half an a3 sat in the yard ready) whilst I build up my 2.8 24v turbo setup (I will be giving that a slowly but surely approach...). I do these conversions for a living now amongst other things so easy to swap and change (once i get the time). Now some of you may think I am mad to part with the R32 engine, but in all honesty I would rather turbo a 2.8, thicker sidewalls and also- cheap to source in comparison! Hey, I contemplated putting one of my pd130 conversions in it, but that's just blasphemy right? (Secretly I love the idea, hybrid pd150 turbo = 220bhp 300ft/lb & 50+ MPG) But I am trying to stick with a petrol! Pic below is one of said conversions So it's sat in the yard looking sad. Plan aside from engine: ABS removal, underside sorting, new rear arches to weld in, new pass door needed, new boot needed, general overhaul and refresh & whole lot resprayed either original blackberry or to gloss black (over time I think, I want to be able to drive it as a rolling project). Anyway just thought i'd let you guys know it's still alive! I think progress will begin in a few weeks once I get current work load out of the way. Cheers

Well seeing as the car needs a full respray & i got sick of looking at dents and rust, I cleaned it all up, smoothed out the dents and layed on a few coats of 2k matte white with the gun. It's only to last me till I find a new shell or find the time and money to respray it next year. If anyone knows of a rolling shell with alright standard paint PM me please! With my other white cars haha, it's my fave colour for a car alongside black.
-
Sorry guys I don't get on here much I was expecting PM's which notify my phone! I had seen your shell actually mate bit too far stripped! Still looking for one, have a trailer ready to collect Cheers (Please PM me if you have one!)

Hi everyone, after a corrado rolling shell with good paintwork Cheers
-
That's one giant african boost snail. What're you thinking about using for engine management? Stand alone?
-
No it didn't, I couldn't bring myself to part with it! Nope, I had to pay them just under £4,000 in rent for a flat I haven't lived in. Oh well, such is life. My health has improved though so I'm trying not to dwell on that! Anyway, some car stuff: Sump back from my mate ready to go on Put it on! Got distracted by: Which turned out to be a complete rust bucket :'( Cya! I then put the engine in my mk2 1.8Gl Jetta one weekend out of boredom So I was distracted with that for a few weeks getting it all fine tuned and MOT'd etc. Did some ploughing at work: Remembered I had a corrado in the yard that needed tlc so I went and bought aload of bits it needed! Bought: 2x front wings, 2x rear arches, front bumper, 50mm splitter, intact headlining, black ABC pillar trims, bonnet, good condition rear bench & a few other bits. Did the headliner in some faux suede Tadaaa Black ABC trims in, headliner in, new rear bench in (one without a hump) "sorted interior shot" Decided I wanted a white corrado: Cheers!

I left last year due to ill health, so apparently they can't release me from my contract as I knowingly came back to live there this year. Just one of those horrible big corporate companies that don't give a crap!

http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=538337 Hi mate explanation is at the top of my ad on ed38 :( I am absolutely gutted. Ouch good job you spotted that Sean, it must have had a fair whack! Mine had only worn through slightly so thankfully no bump!
