Passenger wing is back up for grabs, the bonnet is currently promised to someone though I am afraid Dan

Hi Smithy, Sorry mate, it's already gone to a new home I am afraid

Sorry - Thought I had already said - Walsall, West Midlands Dan

Havent been able to contact someone who was supposed to be having a few of the parts since 12th August so a few bits are back up for grabs again - Have updated P6 to try and keep everything in one place Any questions, just shout, and happy to talk discounts on stuff as I need to start clearing a lot of this lot of the way now Dan

Bump - £800 if collected this weekend Dan

Having had a look around, I think I overpriced these a bit - Revised price £170 ono Cheers Dan

No Worries Rob - 215/40 16s mate Dan

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD Set of 4 BBS RS771 2 piece split rims. They are 5x100 ET 42 6 1/2J x16 (which I believe makes them from a Mk4 Golf) As usual with these, the outer rim is corroded, and needs a refurb really (I planned to use them as winters on my rado and them refurb next summer once the gritters had gone home for the season! As I don't have a rado anymore, I have no need for them) They are a lovely looking wheel, and accordingly when refurbed attract decent money. Given the condition I am only after £200 £170 ono for them. All 4 genuine BBS centre caps are present, but will want new logos, as they are a bit manky. In my opinion all 4 tyres need replacing. Pic of them on my corrado for reference to how they fit: Wheels are in Walsall, West Mids for collection, but could also be collected from Cardiff, as I am there every week with work. Any questions, just shout Dan

PM'd you Ruggy Dan

It is reasonably heavy, but not too big - call it a fiver and if it's any more, that's my problem, not yours! Dan

I didn't fit them dude, so they must be at least a year old, but other than that in all honesty I don't actually know - I can tell you that they definitely have no arcing etc, as I was trying to trace an ignition fault while I was still using the car, so did the 'water spray' trick and they were fine. They are for coilpack engine Dan

Hi Sean, Engine & Box - 175,984 miles covered, but in outstanding health! Pulled like a train, didn't use anymore oil than I would expect (my 1.8T used to absolutely eat it in comparison!) or coolant. Had been previously rr'd at 209bhp (I may have the readout in the history) and comes with a reasonable amount of service history, apparently cam chains have been done, no receipt to prove, but I can easily believe it as no funny noises etc. As I had no intention of breaking the car, it had an oil/filter service and new spark plugs in May, Brand new German Starter Motor in Feb, and new Aux Belt and tensioner in March. When in the car, the box used to crunch every now and again if you rushed the change upwards into 2nd, but I am 99% convinced that was worn shifter cables rather than the box itself - See photo of some of the engine related service history below! I am trying to get hold of the guy now, so will come back to you as soon as I know what the score is with him Dan

Hi Mate, I don't I am afraid, sorry Dan

Hi Sean, In theory the engine is sold, however I am having trouble getting hold of the guy at the minute, and as he has asked me for a number of the bits, I could do with getting him to come and collect asap. If It all falls apart I will give you a shout if you like? Dan

Hi Jeff, Have dropped you a PM mate Dan

OK, I could do with these out of the way now to be completely honest - Wish I had the space to keep them, but I don't. Combine that with a need for a cash injection having spent way more than I needed to on a stag do at the weekend, and you can take advantage of a vulnerable ex-rado owner! Price Drop to £850 (if you could collect this weekend I might be tempted to barter a bit lower when you came to see them ;) Any questions just shout Dan

Rustynuts - Have dropped you a PM mate - No sunroof panel it was knackered, and I do have a pass. side door but it is probably not what you are looking for. Just so everyone knows, as Of Thursday Morning till Tuesday Morning I will be away, so if you message me in that time I am not ignoring you, and I will drop you a note when I get back. Cheers Dan

Hi Dave, They are - I don't know I am afraid, they were on the car when I bought it, so they will be at the very least 12 months old. However I can tell you that when I was trying to diagnose a running problem (turned out to be a duff spark plug) That I tested them with water spray for arcing/splits etc and there was no sign of any problems with the leads whatsoever. Cheers Dan

OK folks, after nearly 10 years of owning it, and thinking I would definitely be keeping it forever, I cant believe I am actually writing this, particularly under the circumstances it is under, but here goes..... Model: Mk1 Scirocco Gli (2.0 16v conversion and storm interior) Year:1979 Vreg Mileage:104,000ish Tax: No MOT: No Current owner:me V5 present:yes Location:Walsall, West Mids Price: £2200ono Contact Details:PM on here is easiest as working crazy hours, but also oh seven seven three eight 265819 Additional Information: I don't even know where to start to be honest. I bought this just under 10 years ago, sort of by accident, and fell in love. It has been apparent for a little while that I was going to have to sell her, but my intention was to finish off all the little niggles, get her mot'd, taxed, use her for a few more months then put her up for around £3500ish. At the minute with a combination of work and private life, I haven't got anywhere near trying to do anything to her for about 2 months, even though I have been trying to, so thought I would put her up for sale as is, and see if anyone wants to take over and give her the love she deserves. Originally a 1.6 injected Gli in Gold, over the years she has changed considerably. Now a 2.0 16v engine sits in her engine bay, and she has a temporary coat of Ford Riviera Blue paint I gave her to tidy her up. No MOT at the moment as already stated, however she shouldn't need any welding (a lot has been done over the years - I am certainly not going to claim that it has never been welded!) and runs perfectly (the engine conversion was done about 4 years ago and has been in fairly constant use ever since) The good bits: - 2.0 16v - Audi 80 2.0 bottom end with KR head and injection, and 5 speed Mk2 16v Gearbox. Mk1 Cabby 100mm driveshafts take the drive to the wheels. Not been RR'd, but conservative estimate is about 160bhp - It goes like stink when you want it to! - When I did the engine conversion, I also rewired the car using the loom from a mk2 16v golf, including fusebox, as I wasn't convinced that the roccos original wiring was up to the job. As my Mk2 donor car also had a Toad ai606 alarm/immobiliser, I transferred all of that over too, and it has been absolutely faultless. Only thing I didn't transfer was central locking, so the rocco still locks/unlocks on the key. - 256mm Audi brakes with braided hoses - Again, I was not happy that the brakes were up to the job once the engine was converted! - Cream Mk1 Storm interior in very good condition - Taken from a 40,000 miler that was rotten. - Most Mk1 trouble spots bodywise have been done - Axle mounts, rear corners, sills, arches, scuttle panel have all seen the light of the welding torch at some point, and have since been treated and heavily undersealed inside and out. I am not going to try and claim it will never need any welding again, but should be good for a few years yet! - Loads and loads of history and photos from throughout my ownership that the buyer is welcome to copies of The not so good bits: - No MOT - I have always wondered why people sell cars with no MOT but claim 'it should go through' until I have found myself in a situation where I am barely at home, and have been trying to get round for it for over a month! Now I know that sometimes it is genuine! - Temporary Sunroof - I broke the glass sunroof when I painted the car, and haven't got round to sorting it out yet. There is currently a piece of clear plexiglass in there instead. Doesn't leak, but isn't pretty and makes the ride quite noisy (not that it was ever the most refined one in the world!) - Passengers Window Regulator is very tight, it wants replacing really - Speedo cable is broken - on the way home from the last MOT (about 18 months ago) the speedo cable broke, so it needs a new one fitting (Mk2 golf 16v item) - Bodywork is perfectly 'serviceable' but nothing like mint - Part of the reason it is now blue is that I just wanted to tidy it up for while I was using it. From 10 feet away it looks ace, but it is nowhere near perfect and really could do with some proper attention to make the car really nice. It doesn't need doing straight away (that is the whole reason I did it the way I did, so I could just carry on using it while I sourced parts and money to sort it properly) but my temporary job will not stand up to scrutiny forever! - Few bits & pieces need finishing - Chrome rear windscreen trim needs refitting (I do have it though), Heated rear windscreen needs wiring back up, could do with new window winder handles etc - Nothing major, but a few bits and pieces that need doing There is loads more I could write, and I have a load more pictures if people want to see any, I am just not on my own computer at the moment and don't have many on my photobucket. I know it is a cliché when people are selling cars, but I am gutted that she has to go, if I could afford to keep her I would, and I genuinely suspect I will cry when she goes. I have had some great times in this car, and will miss driving it a huge amount - I never fail to smile seeing peoples reactions to it (particularly when it is a BMW/Audi/merc etc that cannot work out what the bloody hell they cant keep up with :smug: If the Mods are happy, I have no problem with this thread becoming a discussion about how much it is worth - I really don't know how to price her, and that isn't helped by the emotional attachment, so healthy debate on the price is perfectly welcome as far as I am concerned. Any questions just shout, and anyone who wants to view is very welcome (just don't judge me if I cry) Cheers Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, a few people have asked for some more photos, so here goes: Like I say, not perfect, but a very useable car, or very useable rolling project, that is more than capable of keeping up with modern traffic :hugegrin: Have tried to show it from a number of angles, but if anyone wants pics of a specific bit, just shout When I did the 2.0 16v conversion, I toyed with the idea of a 1.8T, partly as I figured that even running only low-ish power for a 1.8T it would be absolutely devastating in a Mk1. Having previously had a Mk1 Golf Gti (1.8 injected) before the Mk1 in its original guise (1.6 injected) however, and having liked the peaky way the 1.6 delivered its power, after a lot of research I figured a valver engine would be a bit more in keeping with the character of the car, and I am glad I went that way. To be honest, with the 2 litre bottom end, you don't actually have to work it hard at all to fly along, but if you do decided to, bloody hell does it come alive over 3500 revs. It is kind of the best of both worlds really, and puts much more powerful cars to shame with the throttle response and delivery. Anyway, enough waffling, I am about to be away for a few days for a stag do, but if anyone wants to come down and take a look at it when I am back (Monday onwards) you might even get a cup of tea out of me as well Dan

Metal Yard I am afraid, as they were the only people I could get to take it without suspension on (i.e not rolling). The fan is theoretically gone to a new home along with the fan housing, but I will let you know if it falls through. Dan

Cheers for the kind words - as long as I am not being ridiculous on price! I agree, absolutely awesome seats, I genuinely wish I could stick them in the loft till another Corrado came my way, but times are hard at the minute! Again, correct, they are electrical movement, not heated. Good bit of info there - Glad I kept the loom piece (although essentially just a live/earth so not overly complicated, it is nice to have the proper connectors), and it is as you say, VAG connectors at seat end, wires to fuse box and earth. How tempted - fancy coming to have a look? Dan
