Looking at the pictures the interior rear bench and seats are a different cloth pattern- that needs sorting before asking this money. I think the seller is trying to get back what he is into the car and maybe more- unfortunately the maths never work on a corrado restoration at present unless your a dealer and get a garage queen off an OAP who dont know what they are worth and rip them off- all to common and they even pretend to be enthusiast as well sometimes the blag artists- makes you puke thinking of them sniffing around the groups trying to build bridges pre sale.

The bonnet has lots of holes and moldings underneath so it blends in- I would just cut it mate only you will notice it as everyone will be looking at the schrick with green envy ha.

If you can get one with no rot on the body and leather interior that does not need a spray job for around 6 or 7 k that should leave you plenty to spend on the drive train- If you can be patient hold of for some recaro as they are hard to find and sell for 2 k alone. .

Oh my will have a look - thanks .

Looks a good car- but come on where are the engine trims- your asking top money make sure the car it is complete-as I want the car sorted for that money- you need to watch out for high price cars they still dont need 5 k spending on them - really need to give the car a thorough inspection and make sure the asking price is valid.

Thanks .

Good to know. Anyone got a link to the brake hose kit you need ? Dox do the 280 mm G60 upgrade on a Mk2 16v - do i need any hose kit or is it direct fit - I know you need spacers for the BBS RA but I all ready have some fitted. Cheers

Are the 288 mm factory Mk3 ones all ATE guys so I know they are genuine ? Thanks

Hi ABV, I can confirm the Mk3 does have an option for a 288 mm desribed as RED. NO1 on diagram. https://www.ilcats.ru/vw/?function=getParts&market=RDW&model=GO&modelcode=184&year=1997&group=6&subgroup=615&part=615040&language=en Dox/ Shaun are these correct fitment for the corrado mod ? Thanks https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/bremssattelgehause-golf-gti-dbc664.html Its £400 for the set but would have to get carries to - works out to a fair bit so not a great option- .

ABV Im not sure about the MK3 - its a GTI I have never owned to be honest- it is possible I suppose that the anniversary edition came with red callipers. Its true when you think about it- the VR6 is heavier then the g60 and more powerful so it is surprising VW did not upgrade the brakes to 288 mm from factory. Thanks Sean I will look on etka later and find the part numbers - be interesting to see if you can still get them new- I could then use my 280 mm from the VR to upgrade on my MK2 golf . Just out of interest if I can find a second hand set- how much does big red roughly charge for refurb. Thanks

Does look good with the bigger disc.

Update meet is now been moved back to the 27 th June because its fathers day on 20 th. 11.00 kick off . I recommend the cheese Burgers guys- I mean best one I ever had - no worries Nmd I will get you your breakfast bap as long as Mike Brewer does not get there first and depletes stocks 👍 Goldfinger your good now.

Damn sounds like it another job at some point !

Glad you didnt get your pants in that photo mate would wrecked my bank holiday - seriously the interior looks mint well done. Cream looks so good fresh but so bad when tired.

Kamei no1 mate come on.

I would say individual the parts would cost a bomb brand new- I mean Ive never seen one advertised but its one of the biggest complaints in a corrado - sticky leather- Im just guessing now but for 1k would be worth every penny especially for a corrado owner that does European tours or lives in a hot climate .

They sound good all right- I noticed the Audi 80 came with a 280 mm double pot.

Stealth obsession for the name of the build ? I quite like Tempest as its a bit stronger then a storm . Im done spending for the time beign but very tempted for the callipers.

Had to look twice at the price of this Mk2 16v at 35 k but then saw the mileage. Would love a smell of that cabin. Always seems to be slimey dealers that get their hands on these car - must be approached by family members in most cases to sell on behalf of an older relative- they make shit loads on them and do fook all to them. In this case it does say the garage that is selling it serviced it for 28 years- I suppose the selleres sometimes dont want to deal with the VW jealous haters. and tyre kickers. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202105283211064?advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=Pl143tx&model=GOLF&page=1&aggregatedTrim=GTI&price-from=25000&make=VOLKSWAGEN&include-delivery-option=on&sort=relevance&fbclid=IwAR2rkAKnPtFtLAlo75jCLrmnyWQfRcPKfQ1-fs6TiCJ2f_SKvrKCXdH5zQQ

That is the best upgrade in all the vag classics for sure.

Ok thanks Dox- maybe I just get a set of the 288 mm - i think the stock brakes can catch you out in real high ??? speeds approaching slow traffic as we are so you use to more modern brakes.

Does the extra increase in sizr brakes put more pressure on an all ready temperamental abs sytem I wonder ? I imagine Dox its not as noticeable as the 266 mm upgrade to g60 280 mm in a mk2 golf ?

Very valid points there I do like a space saver to get me out the crap - what is the braking performance in real terms -does it out weight the loaded weight added to the axles. I do like to put on the stock 15 - but I suppose the ones to fit would be the AP 4 pots that match the vento kit.

Thanks mate - the only thing missing I would say is the 288 mm brake upgarde but my stocks are in fantastic condition. Do 288 mm accommodate the stock speedline 15 alloys - what are the part number for 288 mm callipers as I believe mk5 and a3 had them . I think you lot use the MK4 callipers ?

Final build sheet - had a bit of time today so thought why not .
