New Panels ?

[AlanVW 0]

Well my corrado seems to have quite a few faults FSH seems to mean sod all, am not impressed to be honest.

 

Well i have ended up having to fix up all the problems with it id feel bad punting it on to some other poor sod and it's cost me too much money already.

 

So Here Goes,

 

There is a Panel that bolts up inbetween the front crossmeber and the chassis legs, mines really badly rusted, and some of the nuts have becamse so rusty they are nolonger attached to the panel.

 

so I need a new panel one but im not quite sure on the name of the panel and whether I can actually get one. can anyone help me ?

I think that panel usually goes under the name of 'Valance'. I've seen loads of Corrados with that particular panel rotted through. It's thin steel with little to no rust protection. Mine is caked in Waxoyl now after seeing so many rot. Do you live near the sea? Salty air can eat through them quite quickly.

 

They're not cheap either and I think they're welded on.

Ah but i dont just need that thin part, theres a bolt that screws in to the top part of it where it bolts to the chassis the whole bit has broken out, so i really need the whole part

My mate keystarG60 had this replaced and after alot of research and quotes it didn't cost that much in the end, PM him if the part in the link above is the culprit!! Sure he'll be happy to help.

Yes thats the Right Part.

Does anyone have one lying around ? because 400 quid is a bit too steep for me right now.

Should be able to get this done for about £100-200

I can do the work myself . i just need to get the part from somewhere. is it a VW part only ?
