Well, I thought I was getting out of Corrados after 15 years, sold off all my rare parts for my project, and 2 years later started on it again... Now that I sold them I have to replace them. Looking for manual / crank window regulator assemblies. Looking for both left and right. Handles for them aren’t a must but I would take them. Oh, they’d have to be shipped across the pond but Royal Mail isn’t bad for that... Thanks!

I might have a full LHD one from a 91 Corrado G60. I only need the body wiring. If you're looking for LHD stuff I'll peek through my wiring stuffs from my life long project

Paid for some buckets earlier today, just gotta wait for em to show up

Thanks for the responses. My glass/lenses are flawless and the reflectors aren't peeling so I'm pretty set there ...but as mentioned, I would take full lights, the extra parts aren't exactly a bad thing. I know I have a couple RHD lenses in stock still haha.

Well... got out of Corrados a while and sold off all of my European market parts. My newest Corrado has late headlights but all 4 tabs across the top are broken. Seems like all the old time Corrado people in the states have called it quits so I have to harass you guys for parts haha. That being said the lights need to be shipped to Baltimore MD, USA ...post code 21222 What I really need is just the plastic buckets so I would be interested in early or late lights, I'll take them with or without lenses (RHD lenses aren't so great on LHD cars), or just buckets ...but ultimately I need all the tabs to be solid. If you're breaking a Corrado with power levelers and would sell me the wiring plugs with leads of wire for the light leveling motors, the switch, and the wiring for the switch I would discuss that as an option as well.

Sounds tasteful! :lol: it's not esp since it hasn't been inproduction since the late 90's... and i think it was rather clear i did not put it on, and the price to replace Corrado parts was and is too riculously priced to bother when i was more concered with my 1.9L lysholm, or the stage 4 G60, or the G60 turbo i had in it... none of my corrado ever have or ever will be my daily driven car haha don't trust them as far as i can spit... i never put more than 4,000 miles on any of them i've owned HAHA -

no, it's a stupid crazy rare dash kit in the states that's a red/black carbon fiber stick on... the guy who had it before me did it and i never wanted to spend the money replacing everything to take it off... so now i am gonna pull all the stuff and is being replaced with carbon fiber pannels i am going to hand lay so i can mount all of my autometer gauges in place cause all of the factory stuff is going including the gauges... it reall should just be a race car but i'm gonna try getting away with street driving it maybe one or two times a month in the summer... cause it's gonna have a cage in it too... thinking 10 point weld in... gonna have a place in another state do it called Performance Fabrications... they make hill climb cars from scratch using snowmobile enignes and do cages in all kinds of race cars... -

i haven't been taking pics while messing with it even though i should have been... so here was the car closest to being together before i started tearing it down to start building it... (the crappy exhaust was only temp so it was quiet enough to move in and out of the garage with out the neighbors yelling) just a picture of me getting started on the interior... Kwik Wire universal body wiring so i can replace and hand wire the entire car... the less wire, the less weight, the less weight the faster i go haha... but the SDS EM4F was for the 16vTurbo i have that's fully built but is no longer going in the car... so yeh... i wasn;t ver big on pictrues with it... sorry... when it's finished i'll post up pictures though -
so it was nice out in Baltimore, Maryland and i had a few hours before i was going out last night so i went into town and took a few pics... it only cost me $10... or uh... £5 to park in that garage HAHA that sucked... but i got some good pics of the car... she's up for sale so worst case i have nice pictures to remember it by... it's a 90 G60 repainted Imola Yellow, a color off of the 25th anniv. GTI... i enjoy it but it's been taking alot of my money and parts away from finishing my red Corrado race car that from time to time i plan to drive on the street :shock: (3.0L VR6 fully forged bottom end, big valve head, ported, polished, and 3 way valve job all done by Schimmel Performance. i will be severely let down if the car makes less than 600whp...)

i carefully took the time to measure out exactly where the tabs need to be, drilled holes at the very far points of each slot, then cut from top of hole to top of hole and bottom as well on all 3 across the top with a Dremel that has a cut off wheel on it... then the bottom holes... worked like a charm! easier to convince the radiator support to make the grille fit i thought
-
i have one that was originally Nugget Yellow which is now Imola Yellow and the other is Tornado red... dunno what to vote
-
so i thought some of my friend's acrossthe pond might like to do something withn their Riegre self destructing grille like i have instead of throwing it away, so here is what i did... took the broken grille cut off all the lower part and made the top bar into an eyebrow for a late model badgeless grille! here's the back side... and the car that the grille is going back into :D

Torsten, you're tryign to say none of us across the pond would help you out? i could have dug up a US bumper... but well i guess then again shipping isn't really cheap but maybe in comparison to the cost of a new bumper at the dealer?
-
so here's the deal with the Black and Blue sensors... when you swaqp them back and forth they're supposably capable of making the ECU or the gauges function properly... i have never had that be the case... it lets you know if one of them are functioning improperly but that's about it... and the reason i think this may be is because the black sensor has been updated i believe twice since i have been buying them regularly... Black - gauges Blue - water temp replace them both they're cheap... i don;t think paid any more than what would be for you guys £15

lemme think... $550 for pistons $350 for rods so about uh... £450 for new forged rods and pistons... and if you can get away with it keep your factory crank... the new pistons come with rings... you will still need crank and rod bearings as well as wrist pins... so maybe throw in another £100 say £550 then if you're good assemble it yourself, or have shop do it... i think though your best bet would be the parts from here in the USA... it seems like alot of things in the UK cost more...
