VR6Rick

Hi guys. I bought a K plate Corrado VR6 a couple of years ago,after it had been stood a while in dry storage. It's been sat in a mates garage waiting to get some bodywork sorted and a complete respray. Now the paintings been done,we've found that the crossmember that the radiator sits on is fubar'd! This is NOT the one the engine mount is on....its in front of that,with the splash guard and the bottom leg of the slam panel bolts to it. Anyway,it turns out that the end plate,where it is bolted to the chassis,is rusted out. VW no longer make or supply these,so I'm trying to find one that's in reasonable order and someone willing to post it to Orkney (you know,that bunch of obscure islands,off the north coast of Scotland) Any takers? Needed ASAP!

Hi. Any cables left or have I missed out?

Thanks Gloster,I'll probably take you up on that offer! The sites changed a bit since I last was on here,think it was on a PHP board then and my tech has changed too....using a tablet instead of a PC,so,erm, how do I upload pics?😶😁

Hello all. In 1997,I bought a burgundy metallic 1991 Corrado G60 and soon after joined this illustrious forum under the incredibly ill thought out stupid name of 'Blown' . After a good few years of ownership,fettling and travelling the length of the country to attend some shows, I took it off the road and started some serious upgrading. Unfortunately,life got in the way and it languished in the garage for a couple of years until I decided that it was time to move it on....nearly cried when it was taken away. The new owner had it for a while then wrote it off in an altercation with a bus.😭 So,now nearly twenty years to the day later,I've returned to Corrado ownership after buying a 1992 Dragon green VR6😃 As only to be expected for a 25 year old car,it's a bit worn and scruffy in places but remarkably rust free. It's gone into the body shop today for some TLC and a full respray. It needs some bits,such as a battery clamp,rear view mirror,the rare-as-rocking-horse-poo front indicator (late style) and some interior bits but I hope to do a mild restoration rather than an out and out rebuild. That's it for now but I'll add some pics when I work out how!
