weedwhacker

i had something much the same, got booted, no income and a mtg and bills to pay. car is the last thing you need to get rid of mate. you will need it to get to interviews and stuff. just lay off the mods for a while. if you have to sell something and you still have stds let the wheels go or bits and bobs, you can always get a different set. but as you said finding a good one is getting harder. youll get there but dont get too deperate, employers pick up on that!!! take a few days chill out and check things out next week. just think it could be worse... you could drive a citroen saxo..... ugh!!!!!!!!!!

i have fitted mk3 springs and struts to my valver.. i have been told that this is a bad thing as the rates are all worng for the springs.. could this all end in tears.. as far as i can feel the ride is realy nice and positive,, but now im worried in case its all goes a bit pete tonge!!!! please advise...

hiya dubby, its tony from eastcoast.. long time no talk.. hows it gooin.. dont get on eastcoast much these days. nice rado by the way

met green, didnt catch if it was valver, g or v, on route i would have thought to jabba sport. this mornin, i was stuck trying to get out of a junction in my red valver just past crowland.. nice wheels.

just under 174k. i was kinda scared buying a car with them miles but after you have one for a few weeks you stop looking at the miles.

dont change the colour mate it looks good in the flesh. rather than remove the bump strips go for a colour code, inho it breaks up the door and also stops you getting parking dents in tescos carpark.. will look better with the black seats in. have fun.

it is a g60. when left em they were real greased up... having some problems. i just poped over to say hello, but not properly dressed and dog in tow i couldnt be that much help to em. i just hope they get it sorted to the mk meet 2moro. good luck guys.

o my days..... how cool is that. will be nice to see it up and runnin. hope it gets finished soon.

ok will do.. it a strange one it comes and goes at arount 4500rpm. also its now started doing it only in 5th gear at about 2500rpm. roll on pay day... im just limping it to and from work now... i hope it makes it for the rest of the mth.

nothing wrong with the camper mate.. just think the rado would look silly with a cooker in it wouldnt it! ive got a lot of time for them, i dodnt think i wll ever be able to shake the pull of an air cooled engine. its just something about em. :twisted:

mine so far stands me at £200. it needs a fair bit doing to it though. im gonna chauck id say about £300 at it to get it right so by the time im done about £500 all in.. gonna invest in a power polisher and some t cut and see if i can get it back from pink to red.. chaper than a re spray.

this may be a silly question, and i may already know that answer. will a mk3 gti lowering set up work on the corrado, being as the front is mk2 set up. only asking as ive been offered em cheap cause he has just bought a set of coil overs and i cant afford them yet.

nice motor mate, looks like your doing much the same as me, in respect to getting a cheaper rado and doing it yourself as and when. the only thing that put me off of mine was 172k miles but then again its only a 1.816v and there are bucket loadsof them out and about. or even if it goes pop i might have a go at a 20v, who knows what will happen. im just enjoying the drive at the min, as long as it starts stps and gets me to and from work im a happy man. keep up the good work fella.

weedwhacker was just a ramdom thing in my head when i signed up. the wheels i have on at the min are 15" imolas. and lastly do you think the reg number is worth some money then. if so il sell it and put the profits in to the rado. got a set of lowering springs and shox to go on in the next couple of weeks.. :wink:

funny thing about the number plate... its a G reg so you would thinh 89-90 .... wrong. on the v5 its a92. but it was built in 89..... do you think the plate is worth something then? sell the plate and put the money into buying nice new bits to add to the engine bay....
