Cool. I'll take both. Can you send me payment details?
-
Also, do you have a late grille with all tabs intact? Cheers
-
Hi, I see you now have a 9A for breaking. Does it have the external fuel pump in good working order? Cheers

Treasured VR6 written off! :( Advice needed to restore

Rear beam / back axle is all the one thing lad. 1 part Good luck with it. Lovely lovely colour -
Nice. What colour is it? The wheels are sweet. What make are they? Agree the lights should go. All red rears would suit it I think. I have a standard set though if you're after some. Best of luck with it!

Didn't know these were finished!
-
Just to confirm, is the exhaust off a 9A?
-
Would you post coilovers? Also interested in exhaust if dgarwood pulls out

keyring, dash vent gauge holders - make me an offer.

Great thread. You're dead right with the wipers. Those flat blades don't suit corrados at all. She's fair low!

Interested in the wipers. Have these been fitted to a corrado? Just want to make sure they're correct before committing to buy. -
At the end of the day Jim, it's just a car. Keep your £3k and put it towards a property. You can tell from your post that's that's what you want to do and you're right.

Agree with Sean. For the amount of effort put into blending and matching paint, you'd be better off getting a full respray. As has been said, call into a few places. In my own experience from going to garages, I can tell straight away whether I'd let them near my car. If you can afford it, do it. You'll be much happier not having to worry about the car and can put all your effort into the house then. £2000 should be plenty imo.

Interesting repies. I'm not one of those people who are mad for power in a car.I'd be quite happy with the standard power in corrado's. Plenty of poke for spirited runs on country roads, where they really put the smile on your face imo. I just don't see how you can use the power in these modified cars. Fair enough if you do track days and things like that but for day to day driving, I don't see the benefit. An RS4 went by me on the motorway the other day at 100mph+ and 30 secs later the police went by in chase. Don't get me wrong, I like powerful cars but just don't see how you can use them what they were designed for in day to day life. For me with corrados, suspension and maybe an exhaust is the extent of modifications I would carry out and general maintenance which is plenty! Each to their own though. I enjoy reading the threads on engine conversions and admire the guys that take it on as it's something I would never be brave enough to tackle!

Afternoon all, When I check the latest posts nowadays, it seems to be full of 24V this, 20V that, supercharging, turbocharging and so on. I have no experience of any of these engines but have had 16v and vr corrados. Why are people so unhappy with the standard corrado's? Do people make these changes purely for power or is it to have a more reliable, refined car with more modern parts which are easier to get hold of? Just an observation! Seems a lot of them are getting changed these days.
-
Should have said this is for a 2.0 16v
-
I would just go with the original ones from dealers. I bought a set over a year ago for £55 I think. Not a great pic but they looked nice!
-
Cheers lads. Will give it a go!
-
On the lookout for one of these. Anyone able to help?
-
Is there a way of being notified by email that someone has replied to a thread I've started or a thread I've posted in?
-
Well I swapped the pump in the tank out for a working second hand unit (cheers purple tom!) but this made no difference. Noise is still constant so I presume The external fuel pump is gimped? Suspension I got can't be used so that will have to be put on the back burner for a while!
-
Phil, no gaskets with housing. Will check thermostat box tomorrow to check for gasket. These were for my '94 so ya, they're late. No other VR parts.

Sorry Kip, never saaw this. Thanks for the offer but Tom sorted me out.
