It's a decent club but the forum is quiet. If you're joining for that alone, I'd not bother, if your for the other bits and pieces it offers, then go for it!

Well, I've been working a bit more on it over the week. Grabbed a few hours here and there in the evenings and now I have working brakes and a working clutch! I have a feeling that maybe the clutch master or slave cylinder isn't in tip top condition and the pedal feels a bit soft despite a few good bleedings! I have a broken 02J selector end which answers my difficulty to select reverse, 1st, 3rd and 5th, so a new one of those will hopefully cure that! But, Popped it into second and she moved under her own power for the first time since Feb! Now I need to do: Exhaust system - it's a bit loud otherwise! 02J selector counterweight - The hockey club version I have interferes with the coolant pipework - TT one? Oil Pressure sensors need fitting to the housing Need a new coolant reservoir feed pipe, mine is kinked with the relocated reservoir Need to sort out the air intake but I cant seem to find the right sized pipework! Secure the ECU Battery terminal clamps are loose - investigate new ones! Replace drivers door mirror housing - the old one fell off! Then MOT time! Then some bodywork!

Put some fluid in my complete new brake and clutch system for the first time! Found a 10mm split in one of the rear lines though so I need to replace that!

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's not that simple? Anyone clarify this? I have the B4 light loom already but not the actual lamp.

It's also not so simple to find the warning lamp either. I've been looking for 4 months (at least!) for one!

I say allow the drivers to choose a particular tyre compound at the end of FP3 and then qualify and race on that same compound. I can see the safety grounds on why refueling has been stopped but having 1 type of compound only will make it far more interesting to watch and will take a lot of the tyre management gumph out of the race itself.

You're onto something with that idea!

It's less than a month before Christmas. Maybe people don't have the spare cash?

My Wife is 5''7 and drives it ok?

Best reply today!

Like a golf, only in a hat and wearing clogs! Good car though, we have that exact car but only in golf form.

Where are you?

I could be tempted if you were selling it!

For Sale: Car, comes with wheels and paint. £7k please, no stupid questions or time wasters.

Like this! I'm also not sold on the side repeater position!

Bit more of an update, Nothing on the car itself, but I have preformed a modern miracle. Yes, I have got my Corrado into a modern, new build garage! Along with the rest of my rubbish! It makes me rest easy knowing that my nice new brake discs and other new bits won't ruin over the winter!

Glad you bought this, I was inches from getting it myself! My last Rado was Storm Grey, miss it still!

Nice! Where are you and when is the next service due?

Not much progress as I have been very busy recently for a change! I've fabbed up a bracket to relocate my coolant reservoir forward slightly. I also thought I would clean out the interior of all spare bits of trim and general junk when to my surprise I found that the passenger foot well was approx 2 inches deep in rainwater from all of the recent bad weather! Looks as if my foliage seal has succumb to age and failed from when I had it apart when installing my climate control. All cleaned up and siliconed to within an inch of it's life. There have been quite a few heavy rain storms since and a good soaking with the hose pipe since and it has remained beautifully dry! It's the simple things! I still need to replace the clutch line and i'm probably going to bite the dust and get a brand spanking new flexi clutch line from VW (approx £70 I think!) and then fit the front brake lines and that should leave me with a complete new brake and clutch system. All I need now is the B4 ABS warning light, but they are not easy to find! After that, I need to get an exhaust made up, complete from the manifolds back and I think I have found a local custom exhaust place, so will probably look into that after Christmas! I also need to setup the air filter system and its pipework and then that should leave me with a driveable car. OK, so there are a million and one things to do to get her up to standard, but I'm getting there slowly! Oh and fit a Brown (I believe!) coolant sensor for the coolant sensor post 24v install!

I never went but having a quick look at your photos gives me a sense of what it must have been like! Some truly great pictures!

Nobody able to recover it? Or find another colour and dye it?

Humped rear seats are some of the best you can fit. Anything else is a downgrade.

I do recognise the number plate, not sure where from though!

No sorry, I was getting some funny looks just having a nose around it, would have been a bit much for some if I took some pictures through the windows!

It looked pretty immaculate, probably explains why the owner was being a bit gentle with it. Mint looking black leather with Porsche Tombstones and double din radio.
