corrado wannabe

You were spot on Kempy, a few things seem to have bust the estimate. The Corrado sold for £2730. Pretty healthy money, but could be a nice little buy for whoever won it. Dougie

I suppose Jim but they're not too bad Can always dream I suppose

To be fair bud if you look at the february results: http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auctions/results-january-2014.aspx Their not too far off the mark, and noticed there was a VR at that that sold for £1300 Dougie

I know, love the stories attached to old cars. Some of the money those mercedes "pagodas" are doing is incredible, but there is something really modern about the front end of them. Timeless. Thats why you cant beat old cars for class. Still think the Corrado is a genuine one the more I look at the pictures. Dougie

Nice little C for sale tomorrow at this auction. Looks a solid original example: http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auctions/saturday-5th-april-2014.aspx You need to scroll down to the bottom as its in alphabetical order by marque (I have no connection with this firm or owner, just stumbled on it while dreaming about TR6's!)

I just went through all this a couple of weeks ago. Seems all my bearings decided to do one at the same time. A front became really noisy, got that changed and lo and behold the backs were drumming away nicely too. Got a set from Euro Car parts, bought the SKF ones and fitted new discs and pads while I was there. The whole "hand tight" thing with the hub nut was really disconcerting, but I must stress to check them after a few hundred miles as they need to be nipped up a bit. Really need to add all this nonsense to my "members car" thread. Hope you get it sorted Dougie

Still looking. Cheers Dougie

Good man doodles, I have sent you a private message. Dougie

Anymore details Sean? I havent sourced anything yet, obviously doodles wont have had time to see my reply yet, so Im still looking for one. Whereabouts are you? would you mind posting? If you want to send me a pm, we can talk offline and maybe you could take some pics of the condition it is in? Many thanks Dougie

Brilliant doodles, keep me in mind when you come to do it. I am not looking for a a big cut, probably only 4 or 5cm around the hole on the flat of the quarter panel (if that makes sense?) However I do need it to be either rust free (no chance!) or surface rust only, no rot. Let me know, Dougie

Anyone??? :shrug:

I agree Jim, its never nice when someone has a deal go sour, but I think, in general, the folks on here handle themselves fairly well. Ps Clumpy did you get my PM? Dougie

Ah no worries, it was the bodywork around the filler, thanks anyway though.

Hi mate, long shot as your breaking it due to rust issues, but what condition is the fuel filler surround in? The section that is part of the rear quarter and the rubber gaiter sits on. Dougie

Hi bud, what condition is the fuel filler surround in? Dougie

Hi Folks, Im looking for a good condition section cut from a rear quarter, preferably rust free, although as long as it is surface rust only, it will be getting rustproofing applied before paint. Would also require it to be posted as I live in Stirling, Scotland. Many thanks Dougie

PS Clumpy, you asked a question in your post, where is the question mark? ;)

Beware the spelling/grammar Police, they can be very active around these parts ;) Welcome and get some pictures up!

Hmmm, dont think I can claim to be a daily driver, use it twice a week throughout the winter as well though. My bowden cables have recently seized up, but luckily it seems to be on a setting that allows the screen to keep clear as well as through the face vents, so not too bad on the steaming up, but when it does I just open the tilt on the sunroof to allow some fresh air in. My gripe at the moment appears to be the drivers side outer window rubber is not allowing the door to close completely, so I now have wind noise (from the door!) and in heavy rain at motorway speeds, water coming in! The joys of Corrado ownership. Dougie

So, is the centre thats needed just a late corrado centre? Or is there any difference between Vr6 and valver wheels?

Perths not too far from me, but unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about bikes, otherwise I would have been more than happy to help out. Dougie

Near livingston??? ;-)

Happy New Year to you, There seems to be loads of guys up that way, so hopefuly someone can help you. Might be worth putting a post up with heading like "help needed in Aberdeen area" just so they dont miss it. Where is it on Pistonheads btw? I cant see one up there, but there only seems to be 9 coming up in my search of the entire site! Dougie

Two cans of Dynax S50 cavity wax, so yep

Wooft, Goldrush!!!! Lol
