    Hi All

     

    Firstly apologies for yet another "whats it worth" thread but....

     

    Got rid of my Corrado and had forgotten about these, tucked away in the back of the garage!

     

    I never had these fitted to a car as I was going to have them refurbed first. I've took general pictures and details of any damage.

     

    One thing to note is that there are four pukka centre caps but one of them has a homemade outer, you'll see which in the photos. Looks pretty good though.

     

    Please see pictues below:

    So what are they worth, i'll be putting them on here first and if no luck they'll go on the bay.

     

    Thanks in advance

    If I was doing it I would use model paint but bearing in mind that your painting white you may end up doing a million coats cos white model paint is notoriously thin and doesn't cover well.

     

    Having said that I think someone else on here is using the correct colour (automotive) paint so you might be better using that, after all you could rub it down top get a good finish just like a normal panel (on a real car)

     

    I would rub the model down so that they paint has a good surface to key into.

     

    Humbrol liquid mask is this purple/pink stuff that you paint on into the gaps/difficult to reach places that you can't tape up.

    There are a couple of ways of doing it....

     

    Big areas: Mask off with masking tape

     

    Smaller areas: Humbrol liquid mask (you can get it from Hobbycraft and the like)

     

    As with a full size car its the prepartation that takes the time but pays dividends in the end.

    Hello All (again!)

     

    The girlfriend has come tonight and has told me that the power steering 'stopped working'

     

    Evidently she turned the engine off and on again and it started to work.

     

    I've checked the reservoir and there is loads of fluid. Also the belt appears to be in decent nick.

     

    I've not had the chance to drive it yet but....... Anyone come across this before? Any other ideas?

     

    Thanks

    Hello All

     

    Hopefully some of you lot can help.

     

    As above really, my girlfriends car (1989 Valver 79,000 miles) is pretty reluctant to rev when you first start it in the morning. By this I mean it starts brilliantly, drives fine but if you put your foot down it seems like the revs just don't want to climb.

     

    On top of this it also doesn't seem like the revs drop as quickly as they should. i.e. you let you foot off the accelerator and it takes a while for the revs to drop off.

     

    Hope you can help

    Hi

     

    Just to let anyone know who is thinking about buying this Golf GTI

     

    http://http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/ca ... GEN&model=

    GOLF&min_pr=4000&max_pr=5000&postcode=B73%205QZ&miles=40&max_records=200&modelexact=1&photo=1&hassearched=Y

     

    Eighth one down:

     

    (1991 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 1.8 GTi 3dr Hatchback (private)

     

    49,212 miles

    GREEN

    Petrol

    3 Door Hatchback

    Manual, 49,212 miles, VERY Rare, Very low mileage, 2 Owners! Capri Green, Late model 3 door Golf GTI 8v. Imaculate and untouched throughout. FSH (15 Stamps) £4,695. )

     

    I sold this car (J772ROM) with over 126,000 miles on it (and I was the third owner at least) about four years ago)

     

    It also had full electric recaros and VDO gauges (neither of which are mentioned)

     

    I'm not saying the vendor has clocked it, maybe he has just used a picture of my car and not one of his own but i'm saying beware!

     

    If anyone wants more information PM me. If you know anyone that is after one please warn them to be careful with this one.

     

    Thanks

    Adam
