Hello All (All copied from Edition 38 for you lot that don't go on there!) I did start one of these ages ago but it seems to have gone missing over time! so here goes. I used to have a 2Slow VW Bora which ended up looking like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]83370[/ATTACH] As much as I had fun with the car, I fancied something a little more special, and something slightly older from the VW range. I went a viewed a few MK2 golfs, but nothing that really caught my eye. Then, through a friend, I was told about a VW Corrado that was local to me that the owner wanted rid of. So, we took a little drive down to the owner to see what the car was. It was a Corrado looking rather sorry for its self in the back of a Garage. The owner passed away, and the mans Son just left it for a few years, and finally the time came that it needed to go. On inspection the car needed some work, but the general condition was ok, so a great deal was made, and a week later we picked it up. So, I didn't know too much about Corrado's at this point. But, the car in question, was a 1995 VR6, with just over 100K on the clocks, full history and even better, a Storm :D (I did need to research this at this point haha!). So, I got it home, and this is what I ended up with: [ATTACH=CONFIG]83371[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83372[/ATTACH] So it got taken to my mates garage, and everyone was surprised at how good a car it was. Zero Rust and a nice clean car. A full service, new oils, new brakes and tyres, new battery, then it flew through its mot :D As it was stood for so long it was treated to a deep clean, inside and out! it was a mess but came out looking great for a 20 year old car thats not moved in years!!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]83373[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83375[/ATTACH] So I used it like this for a few weeks, then a few toys came for the car. On went coilovers and a full Jetex exhaust system and an K&N induction kit! Ending up in this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]83376[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83378[/ATTACH] Again used it for a while. Couple photos along the way. [ATTACH=CONFIG]83379[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83380[/ATTACH] My mate was going to an AMD rolling road day so took the C along. [ATTACH=CONFIG]83381[/ATTACH] Link to a video of it on the rolling road ;) https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ And a result - well chuffed at 194.5 BHP [ATTACH=CONFIG]83382[/ATTACH] Then the car got treated to some fresh paint! Only bad iPhone pics below but here goes: [ATTACH=CONFIG]83383[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83384[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83385[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83386[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]83388[/ATTACH] Still more to do on it, fit the front fogs and indicators, rear plate and a few more plans, but enjoy!

Sounds promising, any chance of a couple photos? A little far off but I will see if I can get transport for that distance!

I'm after a late shell if anyone is getting rid or scrapping one?! Located in Kent but car travel and pick up Anyone got anything going? Cheers, Declan

If VRT above doesn't buy them both I will (damn being an hour late!!).:bonk:

I'm with brentacre and I must say they have been great over the past two years, maybe worth giving them a try!

Strange questions but what are you doing with the body/shell? I maybe interested in the passenger side rear quarter if its going?? And still with the interior trim if you decide to split if!! Cheers. Declan

Any news on the interior trim? Cheers, Declan

I would be very interested in the Beige trim that goes around the bottom of the handbrake and the main handbrake surround. Also the sun visors. Let me know.

That looks amazing, I need to do that to mine! How easy is it to remove the carpet?

I must have got mine too cheap [emoji23]

man that is over priced!

What needs to be done to the motors underneath? Do all the electrics work after the effort?

They do look good in the c then! Thanks for the photos!

I cant seem to find any photos on your build! Directions please! It does worry me about the weight! How much heavier are they? Its a hard toss up between these and the K5000's!

Any photos? What's your thoughts on them? My concern is they must be heavy compared the the normal Corrado seats? Also - I guess they must be heated, does that cross over and work on the C?

Audi A8's (would they even work?) Photo below: [ATTACH=CONFIG]82181[/ATTACH]

Has anyone got any photos of Audi A8 seats fitted into a Corrado? I cant seem to find any online! I am looking for a change and its between these or Konig K5000's!

I am guessing this isn't original? (Not that I was looking for the red version but...!) [ATTACH=CONFIG]82174[/ATTACH]

Me too!! Yes I seem to look daily but no luck yet! and it is very annoying - I cant imagine its the sort of thing that just falls off :censored: Back to the search then! It would be great to get another batch made up!!

I'm after the actual 'VR6' part not the VW logo! Ive found one in Germany but its 200Euros :shock:

In honesty I have just got away with it. That and a friendly garage!

Anyone?

I have the non-resonated fitted on my VR6 and de catted - its amazing!

What do you call a Mexican that lost his car? Carlos.... Sorry!

my VR6 Storm has the same Mexico stamp!
