To repair or to break that is the question??
Smokiee76 replied to Smokiee76's topic in Newbies Hangout
Hi guys, Well just a little update,it's been a little while I know but I finally managed to get some cheap speed lines on the car and rolled it out of the gargage.Im now more unsure now if its worth repairing as I have noticed that the chassis rail on both sides is bent where it has been dropped,Does anybody know if it's repairable or even if it will pass a mot?.It looks more like the outer skin rather the rail itself so it could just be cosmetic,I have no idea if that could even be bashed out? Any ideas would be helpful :). Thanks Pete :) -

Thanks for the replys everyone.. It does seem that there is a lot of love for these cars still,and certainly more than enough love on here lol.. I think I will keep it and see what I can do to get it back on the road,my friend has some spare wheels that I can put on it atleast so I can move it out of the gargage to assess the damage,it doesn't appear to have any major damage to the dash board but its too dark in the garage to see anything as there is no lighting, so again until its wheeled out I can't really see what's been done..I really don't think I will leave it in there as I just think it will get done over again.Its about a block away and I can't keep a eye on it or hear anything,it's also dark and out of the way, so perfect cover for such people to do it again..Im going to move it hopefully to my dads if he will let me until I find somewhere safer..know that people know its in that garage I just don't feel it's safe anymore.. Anyway onwards and upwards I guess as they say,I will keep you updated with what's going on and I will see if I can put a picture up of its previous glory days.. Once again thank you for all your replys,I think it's the passion that you guys have and the williness not to let another corrado be broken down to bits that has given me the boost to put my one back on the road,with fewer and fewer on the road I guess it would be criminal not to fix it up..I best get to raiding that money jar I think ;). -
Hi everyone, I have a question that I need help answering as I'm torn at the moment with what I should do,I have been a happy vr6 corrado owner for a number of years and I just love my car,it's metallic black,Full black leather interior,completely standard engine wise but with a few mod's such as full stainless exhaust,lowered on Koenig high sports and fk rear lights,It's been my pride and joy for a number of years but I took it off the road a few years ago as it needed some work doing to it and I naturally wanted to keep the mileage down,Well it would appear that my attempts to keep it running well have fallen by the wayside as it has developed a oil leak,not really that much of a problem but annoying to say the least,there is also a tiny bit of rust on the front wing which again is not a major issue.The thing is I have just walked passed my garage and found its been forced open,car is on bricks,wheels tyres,stereo nicked and wiring ripped out..I'm soo gutted,as much as I love this car and I really do I'm not sure if I can afford to put it back together again..I would hate to break it, even without wheels it too good to break really but I feel if I spend all this money repairing it the chances are it might get done over again!! I have not got a clue what to do...
