Hi, I was viewing on my phone before, how much inside the arch do you need? Which side of the seam inside the door shut? I courier via My Hermes so £20 plus post by weight. https://www.myhermes.co.uk/ I'll do the cuts next weekend in daylight, the courier will take 7 - 10 days or so.

Not sure if you and stuart taylor can shre this panel, stu?

I have a complete shell with rot around the screen, rear quarters are very good, rear apron very good (debadged rear but has seams intact), sills very good, inner wings very good Small cuts £10, whole quarters £50. If you want a specific piece mark it on your car with masking tape and post a pic for a price, large pieces will have to be collection only

The one out of my breaker (90 g60 with a moonroof) is 357 877 795

No, they "rapped it" " this car has had over 10000 pound spent on it in last 18 months with all the recipts to prove all new parts it had a thatcham 2 alarm and imbolizer fittered this year with certificate and recipt for £320,its sat on KW coilovers inox v1s costing £819,95 with recipt also front lights have been smoked to match bk lights,the car had a new engine fittered in 2008 with all new part costing in total off 3115,75 with recipt,4x new toyo tyres fittered 4months ago,plus a lot more recipts for new parts over its time its got every test sheet from new and all old tax discs its got a warranty book showing work done from running new engine in from 500 miles to 10000 miles,bonet has been rapped so can be taken of if buyer wishes too this car has allways had everything it has ever needed and been well looked after.happy bidding people"

And the fix was?

Looks like some debris has fallen inside that cylinder on a plug change maybe, if the bore's not scored and if it was mine I'd not worry about it. It looks like its old damage to me

Looks fine to me Result of a blown turbo, head heavily skimmed and piston tidied up and running again

Which rubbers?

Rust free front wings?

Bristol or Cannock?

Take pics of the before damage and the build up too, if you ever come to sell the car you can show exactly what damage resulted in the cat C marker on the V5 because to most people cat C = write off = "must have been on its roof" assumption when its actually an uneconomical repair if using new OE parts and paint to original spec EDIT You don't need the car painted and finished for the VIC, just road legal - in a condition to pass the mot on that day, dented / or wrong colour panels are OK, but lights etc must be good working order

You can wait weeks for a VIC appointment depending on your location and slots available, save all receipts for items you buy to repair it too. You'll most likely need to re MOT the car afterwards too as the cat C marked invalidates the original MOT more often than not.

The car would need to be insured to get it taxed, no MOT would put me off buying it TBH. With winter around the corner not to mention the expense of xmas I'd be tempted to mothball it until easter if it were mine...... But you only need one buyer :)

It needs scanning for codes

Yep, met him and was impressed how careful his staff were with his car an wheels. Shame it wasn't last week I could have bought them down for you

P/S bootlid/roof hinge plastic - HAVE ONE D/S Door window rubber - WHICH ONE? D/S Inner arch - HAAVE ONE Ignition surround - Black and height adjustable - HAVE ONE Gear knob - HAVE A COUPLE I THINK Battery tray repair panel - YOU CAN BUY THESE NEW I BELEIVE

I'm sure I've read here that part of the bonnets inside skin has to be cut on the corrado as it catches on the VSR (not needed on the Golf / Vento / Passat VR6s). The Corrado has a redesigned bonnet with more clearance for the VR6

Phone around a few tyre places, they come across this all the time. The RAC vans carry locking bolt removal kits too

Nice to meet you mate, thanks for the coffee, lift with the engine and the chat. All the best :)

Yes, I see it now, thanks

Dark and wet outside, so not the best phone pic............ Shimming the bottom hinge will move the door in the wrong direction. Are the 13mm bolts tight? No worn pins on my breaker
