CorradoWannabe 1 Posted January 20, 2006 £1300! Amazing - the millage on the VR should be no problem as mine has done 229k miles now and is driving beautifully - i got it off ebay for £2500 - but urs in even cheaper - good move, cant really go wrong at that price - do you do much millage - is it a daily driver?

As it sits just now it'l get a good clean then undersealed before fitting the coilovers! Loads more happening along with a few things getting fixed!

Jim 2 Posted February 2, 2006 Crikey! Good on you! Got nothing but admiration for those who are brave enough to take work on their cars on by themselves. I've always been too chicken! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

selbekk 0 Posted February 7, 2006 jenks, did you ever get my steering wheel? Nice looking project you got there, kinda spooky to see a rado in bits like that! remember, if you just change the bushes, suspension, motor and transmission, you'll have a car that feels even better than new!
