  1. You mean asking for £xxxxx, what they sell for is alway a secret. Auction prices are always indicative of value trade buyers will pay, there’s one going through Morris Leslie today
  2. Tried the passenger door?
  3. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=making+paper+gaskets There's a few videos on youtube showing how to make paper gaskets for a few £sss Mine will be vapour blasted for the as new look
  4. I’ve never seen a Corrado sell for that kind of money on this forum, always willing to be corrected if anyone has an example?
  5. All engine breath hence the breather system, if the engine was sealed pressure would build up until something allowed the pressure to bleed off = usually seals or gaskets giving oil leaks.
  6. Piston no1 is cleaner due to head gasket failure, the coolant steam cleans the piston crown. Oil in the inlet manifold will be from blowby past the piston rings via the breather system. The valve stems will be caked in carbon too.
  7. But he’s going need room for the welding torch to weld a new one in?
  8. If there’s no room for the drill how are you going to find room to weld a new one on?
  9. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?96571-My-oettinger Same car?
  10. Mines the early style pump, the internal rubber mounts dissolved and the pump would move around allowing the swirl pot to drain making the car lose power on left hand bends and especially roundabouts. When you're paying garages to fit parts fitting the complete unit would be cheaper than stripping and rebuilding the swirl pot. non genuine pumps wont necessarily fit standard swirl pot either.
  11. I had rainsports on a Golf 8 years ago, the sidewalls when removed from the rim were very flimsy in comparison to most similar tyres, go to a tyre place and ask to handle them and compare.

  13. Any hydraulic hose place should be able to make some up

    I saw it on the sprint, he got through lots of clutches because it was used hard. It had syncro running gear rather than haldex?

    Mike Truluck of Jabbasport built a 20v g60 4wd mk1 scirocco many moons ago, maybe he can answer your question?
  16. If you fit new rings you need to at least hone the bores for a perfect seal
  17. They look like speedline mistrals? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173873924676
  18. Furniture clinic are a UK based company with a good reputation, why make the statement above if you're in New York?
  19. I'll keep the same view I had about this several years ago on a similar thread, I don't think the storm models are the holy grail of Corrados, if you had 2 groups parked at opposite ends of a carpark I'd walk to the standard cars first as you don't know what spec they are, then I'd cross the carpark and check out the storms with exactly the same enthusiasm. I own a DBP with leather and a classic green storm, both standard and SORN ATM - too many cars lol
  20. That's a clean car, welcome
  21. Haha, heroin is easier to kick lol I still have your silver car as my desktop :)
  22. Go for it. The mods on this car make it a drivers car, investors don't drive them.
  23. Only if you're buying purely as an investment IMO
  24. There's nothing nasty on the MOT history
