Hi all Time to sell my first ever Corrado which I've owned since 1999. Short description is that it has not been in use for the past 5 years and has been sat on a driveway SORN getting old...It is now ready to be a project car or to be stripped down for parts, sadly I don't have the time to do either. As you can see from the pictures it requires a good clean and a bit of work to get it on the road again. When it was last started a year ago it fired up and I was able to move it but other than to maneuver it for transport the car needs sorting before driving on the road. Given the condition of the car I'm open to offers for it. Any questions please ask!

Looking good Will!

Great Metallic! Will confirm attendance by Fri And yes it's a VR, not quite up to shine and show standard but not too shabby!

I'd like to get on there!

So who's definitely going?

Hey all, just got myself, got to say agree with pretty much everything Tempest had to say! Shame the corrados were not parked up together. Spoke to one guy before he did his sprints, the others I saw had no owners around that I could see. Ended up leaving mine in the car park area which was a bit of a shame. Look forward to meeting some of you another time!

Late departure from London see you around 12:30!

So what's the score as far as the club stand goes? I'll be buying tickets on the day (Sunday).

Who's definitely going? Planning on the Sun myself..

Can't see the link, what is it to?

Still available??

Hi all, Thought I'd provide a quick update as to where I've got to with the car, and It's all looking pretty positive at the moment! I wrote to the insurance company at great length to put my point across as to how keen I was to get the car repaired due to the rarity and value of it. Included lots of pics of the finer points of the car as well as the damage including speedo to highlight mileage, folder of receipts etc. I also included some estimates for the cost of repair using a second hand door and subframe. They agreed to pay the price and to not CAT anything the car! :) I have since managed to source both a sub frame and door from a fellow forummer (Thanks Alex). I ordered a couple of new bushes and couple of other bits which my mechanic is in the process of adding to the beam and generally prepping for fitting. Plan is to get that sorted in the next week or so and then off to the bodyshop with the door and let them work their magic! Only other thing to sort out at this stage is what to do regarding the damaged wheel. I've not had any joy trying to find another 17" Kahn RS-R so at this stage am weighing up two options. First one is to get a new set of wheels and the second is to get the broken one repaired. To this end I have had a couple of quotes to get the wheel properly welded and repaired which are around the £150 mark. Will keep you all updated on progress... Cheers!

Appreciate it!

Thats awesome, I'm based down in London but could arrange a courier. What condition is it in? Do you have the brackets too? any pics?? Cheers!

Any chance of a pic? where are you based?

Please!

Hi all, So I've managed to have a look under the car with my mechanic and things are not as bad as they could be! He seems to think I only need to replace the rear beam as the other parts look ok. He's recommended I replace some of the bushes too which makes sense but all in all not too bad. I also need replacement brackets and bolts that hold the beam in place. While I'm at it I'm on the hunt for a drivers door too - I've got the old 16v one but as it too would need painting I'm thinking might just be more straightforward to replace with a VR one? 2 different bodyshops have quoted £1000 to get the bodywork side of things in order as long as I supply them with a second hand door. Can ~I use the door handle from my old 16v?? Definately going to try and get her back to somewhere near her former glory! :) So in summary looking for: Rear beam Rear beam brackets Drivers side door Drivers side door handle (if 16v one cannot be used) If any of you come across any of these for sale, please send me a message or reply to the thread. Cheers!

Is the rear beam still available??

Will try and get a picture up tomorrow Thanks.

Aaah ok got it! Thanks!

Ok so rear beam and axle are 2 parts I might need? Sorry for being thick! Lol

So rear beam, and rear subframe are 2 parts I might need?

Thanks for the support and advice all. This is my second rado in dark burgundy pearl definitely my fav colour too! I'm trying to arrange to get a couple of estimates for the work needed so that I can let the insurance know, which they have said I can do. Just wish I could drive the car to make it a bit easier to get some! May bite the bullet and get it towed if it comes to it, although hopefully I should be able to get a couple of mechanics to give me prices using second hand parts. On that note, I take it the rear axle and rear subframe are not the same thing?
