ABS and heated seats too. So whats it like outside??

Thats the stuff, as I said, use that followed by a lighter compound to bring up the shine (the G3 will remove scratches / flatten a rough surface but it will leave it hazy, hence the need for a lighter compound to finish it off) and then a good wax. be carefull using the G3 along raised lines in the bodywork / near edges of panels, it can be very easy to break through the paint with it, some people cover these lines with masking tape to prevent this.

Looks lovely, always liked red Corrado's

I would use G3 compound if the paint is rough (like you say yours is): Followed by Diamond cut or Finesse or Perfect it which ever you can get. Followed by a good quality wax (not cheap polish) something like meguiars yellow wax to seal the paint.

Sorry children, but I dont see the attraction to be honest, never have, and probably never will. If someone can explain it to me I would be extremely gratefull.

The last two sets I have taken out have been stuck in with a double sided tape along with the clip at the front and back, the front one you need to move the strip towards the back of the car to remove it, the back one just pulled straight up on mine.

So its something along the lines of a VW Motorsport built 16v G60?

Its the one that was done without a bodykit, standard looking but a 16v G60, one had front wheel drive one was 4wd, cant remember which was which, but I think the body kitted one was 4wd, could be the other way round.

This?

Yes, once it is a manual and not auto you can push / tow start it.

No problem :) Best of luck with it.

You will have to take the bolt out, its 17mm.

Its amazing the weight in the interior, my breaker at home has been sitting with no interior in it since Saturday, the height difference between it and my other one is unreal :lol:

Obviously if you ask someone else what they would do, and then go and do it you will be (as you put it) a sheep following the latest fashion.

Sad to see, but was bound to happen, I was a member for 3 years, well 4 actually, in that I was charged for the 4th year but never received anything, not one letter / Rabbit, nothing, didnt get a renewal notice either and was in my bollox chasing up another years membership for no reason, bear in mind being in Ireland I was being charged an international membership rate, no discounts were valid here so without the small incentive of the Rabbit mag there was very little reason to remain a member. Funnily the last issue I ever got was the one that had my G40 and Mk2 track car featured in it :lol:

Feck thats horrible :shock: I'm sorry, but I dont like it at all, did you recently move up from the corsa brigade? :lol:

I actually missed half of it because it was so crap I forgot I was watching it :lol:

Is there much point in that, he is saying return it for a refund minus shipping and ebay / paypal expenses or break it and he will make up the difference if I loose money on it. With a paypal claim would I not end up returning it at my expense, thus end up out of pocket?

I was wondering if I was the only one thinking that :lol:

Here are the details the DVLA have on it, if anyone can make sense of them: Date of Liability 30 10 1995 Date of First Registration 13 11 1990 Year of Manufacture 1990 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1781CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour SILVER

Cheers for that Yandards, should I post it up here for reference?

PMSL @ gradeAfailure :lol: I said something similar to the Mrs about getting good value for money the other night, she didnt see the funny side, could be something to do with me filling up the spare room with Corrado parts, her fault for wanting a house without a garage @ quicky1980, the whole underside has been re-sealed at some point so its hard to tell, although the re-sealing should have been a giveaway, and the panel gaps, the seller claims he had no idea there was anything wrong with it, even after I sent him pictures he was saying it didnt prove it was a cut and shut :roll: He also did not see the relevance of mentioning that its boot floor had been replaced and that the car was a different colour under the silver paint in places. The brake lines have also been cut and joined: I had intended using it for a while before breaking it, thank feck I looked it over first.

Diamond Silver L97A

Yeah there is something decidedly dodgy about it, its such a mix up of different cars that its hard to tell what it is at all. Anyone recognise it or know any of its history? Here are the VIN No's, note that the metal plate under the bonnet is missing. Strange that it has the paper sticker in the boot despite the fact that its clearly not the origianl back panel.
