Ouch, that's a big bill when you haven't even driven 10 yards yet! Trying to be positive, at least you'll have a low mileage, engine rebuilt example in an awesome colour at the end of it.

It's a shame the seller couldn't be more honest but at least you have it now and 79k is silly mileage, can't be many of those left. Stealth is the perfect place for it too! Get some pics up :)

Beat me to it Sean, there are plenty of great diesel/petrol 3dr cars, just unfortunately not with a VW badge on them anymore!

You can't sell James, I still haven't seen the Campaign!

I really really want a set, not a chance I'll be paying that sort of money though!

Just read through the whole thread, stunning car! Love the attention to detail. I don't think I've ever seen a vsr before :scratch: How it sat on those comps though :cool:

I haven't updated this in a while but i've been gradually getting the C to where i want it. First of all the car goes to Stealth now no matter what, Vince showed me a few things on my car that were quite frankly scary so i just do not trust anyone else anymore. First thing was to replace the bodged suspension with KW v1 hoping that would solve the noise i was getting from the rear. It didn't, in fact the noise was coming from the new genuine vw rear axle bushes fitted previously, they had cut something out to allow the bushes in easier but in turn making a horrendous noise as they were moving about freely. :bonk: Luckily, i'm told the powerflex bushes still fit perfect and the car drives beautifully again, but i'll never be able to fit vw again (unless i change the axle!). Back to standard wheels and i'm happy with the look now, although i do think the wheels sit in a little so spacers are probably next on the list. [ATTACH=CONFIG]95063[/ATTACH] I managed to pick up a leather interior, just down the road from me too which was a bonus. The condition was really quite good tbh but i had better foams etc so i did take it apart, i'll add some photos of that process later. [ATTACH=CONFIG]95064[/ATTACH] By far the worst job was removing the old foam from the bonnet :pukeleft::pukeleft::pukeleft: Mine was literally falling away so I searched and searched this forum and none of the suggestions worked for me, it was really quite frustrating. In the end i bought a bottle Tar Off (i cant recall who recommended it) and although it was still hours of pain, it was the best product i used. [ATTACH=CONFIG]95065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]95066[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]95067[/ATTACH] Although the paint is in really good condition, rust is starting to show through the arches and a few little spots here and there so that had to be sorted which is a shame because as i say, it shines up lovely. After a few conversations i've plumped for the door shut respray. Is it a bit overkill . .. probably but for the first time in 13 years of corrado ownership it would be nice to have perfect paintwork! Here's where we're at so far . . . [ATTACH=CONFIG]95068[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]95069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]95070[/ATTACH] I'm going a bit mad with car care etc at the mo, spending way too much but having fun stocking up all on all sorts of goodies :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]95071[/ATTACH] 13 years of drying the C is still as infuriating now as it always has been, perfectly dry and water falls from the roof rails, or the mirrors, or the fog lights, or the rear lights . . . .you get the point, and i'll get to the point, has anyone used one of these? It looks perfect for the job and would save on drying time as well. Thoughts? https://www.cardryers.co.uk/Blaster-Car-Dryer.php

I just look at what I've put into it and what I'd get back :bonk:

I think I really need to consider joining Facebook......

Not mine, anyone on here? Don't see too many Recaro's these days.... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F142927334496

Well that sealed the deal.....

I know, just need to have a think. I really want them tbh, I'm just trying to justify the extra cost over the Karmanski ones I've already purchased!

You did Anna, on post #44 last September, I quoted it in my earlier post. £115 + vat is the same price with promo code as buying directly through heritage so I'll have a think and purchase there if required.

I would like a set for a late body type.

Hi Anna, how do I process purchase with forum discount, is there a promo code? Edit; I found a code from another thread but the total price was far more than the quored £100+ vat :shrug:

Brilliant! I didn't even know that part of the site existed. Cheers mate, exactly what i needed.

Cheers mate. I've actually seen this advert earlier but flicked past it on the basis on the first picture:bonk:

I'm after a couple of these nuts, part number 021133915B. Stealers have discontinued the item and only places I've found want an exorbitant price for postage from europe/states. Must be good condition, no rounded threads etc

Spot on mate, thank you very much for this. I'll get googling! :D

Thanks to everyone for help with the coil pack, i stumped up for the Beru product in the end and i'm really pleased how the C is running. Good job really as i'm driving to Leamington Spa for some paint work on Friday. I just need to refit the engine cover but i don't like the look of the existing bolt/nut (and i appear to be missing one). Anyone know what they are called or where i can buy them? [ATTACH=CONFIG]94843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]94846[/ATTACH]

Fair enough. I don't know much about them tbh but eBay have a cleaning kit for £20 ish. Is the exterior of it good condition, no scratches etc? £80 posted?

Hi Swompy, Do you have the cleaning kit with the BMC?

https://www.vwheritage.com/535837474a-outer-window-scraper-seal-vw-spare This one?

I can imagine there being massive interest tbh! I for one would definitely want one. I have a good ish 2nd hand one, only problem is I intend to use it as the car is due for paint within 3 weeks.

Hi Jim, Could definitely be interested at the right price. Is this for cams only or the whole package, i.e. Vince fitting the cams, remap if applicable etc?
