Ha ha, there are actually 5 wheelie bins :lol: Onto plan b, I can't rebuild anything using the old rusty bolts, which leads me to the fact that I can't fit refurbished wishbones to a crusty subframe and I can't fit a fresh radiator support panel without changing the front crossmember. So all the bits I have aside for the storm will be going on here. Need to order every bolt etc plus 2 abs sensors and I think I need the bits for the end if the anti roll bar, will need to find out what they are called :lol:

Hi Anna, I can't face putting the car back together with all the old rusty bolts, so will be ordering new ones tomorrow, is this something I could get from you? Anyway I've taken a wee selection of pictures with and without the brake disk fitted, although there is little to see with it on. If you want/need any others let me know :) I'm going to be using stainless bolts to hold the shields in place, it's not exactly heavy :)

:(

Another wee update, started stripping the front end, both wings are rotten and there is a hole on the n/s sill where the wing attaches. Also I need to do the brakes and as Anna from VW heritage kindly sent me a pair of brake shields(which need fitted to show they are a proper replacement), I thought I might as well fit new suspension, which I have had lying about for ages, but as we all know, one job leads to another and I'm now faced with drilling out a broken bolt, it would be one of the brake shield ones as well :lol: Radiator support is almost transparent so that needs replacing, new discs, pads, hoses,shields,wishbones (refurbished) and associated bushes. I'm hoping to leave the hub alone as I don't have any abs sensors and they can get swapped out later. Also need to sort out an oil leak(switch on the filter housing) , possible sump leak and there is some oil under the gearbox.......so not too much to do :lol: Rotten Old v new, these are like Swiss cheese up close Welding required Bought a couple of years ago(hoarder), I do have rears too

They do indeed, just like the original ones :)

I will be mate, I'll try and get them off over the weekend and I'll check condition/fire you a couple of pics over :)

They arrived today Anna, and they look great, I can't imagine any reason why they won't fit? I gave them a wee test fit on a set of hubs I have sitting about but I will get them onto the car over the weekend:) Shields On the hubs

I can't wait until mine (any one) looks as good as yours mate. We are all the worst critic of our own cars, I'd take yours over most of the generic boxes littering our roads at the moment 8)

:lol:

What did we miss? :)

Keep it, you'll only end up buying another in the future :)

That would be great mate, much appreciated:)

Is that for the full front underside? I can't face looking at the bits on my phone lol, you wouldn't happen to have noted which ones are which, would you? :)

Yes, I'm sure I can, I have discs/pads etc sitting waiting so can't see why not :)

Me :) I've actually been looking for a set and have the car in partial bits so fitting will(hopefully) be quick and easy........not usual Corrado terms mind you :lol:

Would be good :)

The other set I got came from the USA, bought along with a couple of other bits to ease the postage pain

I think I might actually have a set of front shields attached to an old set of hubs, buried in my shed......I was just hoping someone had a pair lying about, not holding out much hope for the new bits :)

Ooft, they are nice, can't argue with that but I won't be going crazy, I'll wait n see if anything else pops up ........ like my lottery numbers :lol:

I should have said 2 this year :lol:

Yes mate, I have everything I asked for but I need it all again , trying to get 2 corrado's sorted is the way of the maniac:lol:

Hi, I'm looking for a few things in case anyone has some/all gathering dust. Must be for VR6 1. Front brake shields- happy with used as long as not rotten 2. Rear brake shields- happy with used as long as not rotten 3. Front(288mm) discs and pads-must be new 4. Rear discs/pads- again, must be new Thanks Martin :)

Thanks guys, it's our pleasure, we've both benefited many times from the things other people have sourced, plus I needed a couple for myself anyway :lol:

Will do mate,thanks...... if I can remember my log in :)

Mine arrived today, thanks :)
