    Apologies if anybody has failed to use the forums discount code today, there was an error which has now been fixed.

     

    Oh and a video of our new Amber (If it works) and I take full responsibility for the music lol. :smug:

    In other news, as there have been quite a few Corrado owners showing interest of late I've managed to have a dedicated Corrado forum purchase page added to the site, it's not quite ready yet but when finished will make purchasing very straight forward, it will also let you log in to the site to see the discount code.

     

    Neil.

     

    That sounds cool bro, I too had ordered front fog,, indicator and the red rears without discount. Ill order headlight soon and hope you'll give me special treatment then.

     

    Hey a good idea might be for the corrado, could be the suggested sizes for the selection of light cluster options ready for new owners to click and just order and maybe you could also do ready cut?

    I decided today that I'd sort out my plastics, Especially the scuttle panel.

     

    I'd heard a good while back about using peanut butter as oils and stuff effect and react on certain plastics.

    This looks to be the best result,!!

     

    It's left on for around 1hour, less if it's sunny warm weather. (so that's one hour in the UK)

    Take off with a dry cloth and hey presto black or restored colour plastic.

    I intend to do a re'coat in a few days. As the exterior has turned out only 85% Then I'll let you all know if it's a long term solution, or the grey returns

     

    Has anyone else tried this or other products on a well weathered panel.

    Hey Matt I loved your car. And hope it's ok after those jumps and cattle grid. I'm so annoyed when we returned that the weather turned a little as I'd of loved a closer look at it. I had snow on my return home, so pleased it wasn't on them back roads.....

    Great day out, shame about the weather. Nice to see some fine corrado's

     

    Yes, Trevor welcome to the forum, loved the effort everyone made, weather will improve later this year and we'll all get out again.

    Im sorry but you could pay to have one restored for less that these wallys are selling them,you can take the engine out one in an hour and everything is simple as hell so to find a shell have it shot blasted,welded and powder coated is 5k then say the car cost 5k, plus 10k on interior etc....im not feeling 40k plus,when we had our garage my dad worked on hundreds of these and he couldnt stop laughing at how much people are charging as there just isnt much work in restoring one.

     

    I might get one to restore as an investment if there going for money this silly

    First main meeting point of the day: 11:30am (20min wait) in Thirsk, Marage Road Coach Park opposite Barleys Yard. (between B1448 & A61) only pay/display if cars left unattended.

    We shall travel East along the A170 into Helmsley to the forester house car park on Cleveland Way its a large car&coach park behind the Helmsley Riding School, we should get parked up together there depending on other traffic, as its St Patricks Day and these little towns live for there Saturday and Sunday business we'll just see. After making sure everyones there, quick hello etc, then into cars at 12:30 for a full circle of the coach park to pip horns then off out......This will be 54 mile full loop route. From the cleveland way car park we'll start by heading north out of Helmsley on B1257 road through Great Broughton into Stokesley Then head west un'named road passing through Easby, Kildale & Crag Bank Wood. the road will end before reaching Danby then its turning right to head south through Castlton and the beautiful North York Moors via Fadmoor to Kirkbymoorside Village. Finally we then take the fast A170 west back to Helmsley and into the Cleveland Way coach/car Park. The drive should take about 60mins in total who knows.

    Your welcome to pay and display here afterwards and head into the market square(2min walk) for a look about and some food. Plenty of shops, we had also been offered in: The Black Swan at £25 ahead or afternoon tea there at £18.
