My New Burgundy Pearl Rado

[khurrado 0]

First and foremost, I would like to thank all those that have bought parts off me from my last rado, and for all the patience shown due to the busy nature of my job.

 

From the money recouped, i was able to buy another rado.

 

She is a 93 2.0 16 valve, in dark burgundy. 91k fsh and STANDARD. The bodywork is MINT.

 

Unfortunately she is a non starter. If only they made viagra for cars. When i bought the car it was completely dead, but after changing the relays and recharging the battery, the electrics were fully operational, and on ignition the car turned over, but would not fire. 2 of the 4 spark plugs were dry, and on closer inspection, i found that the fuel line/pump had a leak, and thus the engine was only sucking air in. Mobile mechanic ETA 1200 hours sunday.

Cheers guys, ill add more pics as i go. Once/IF it's up and running, im planning on changing the ride height. I will probably go down the coilover route and put my old Enzo cups on the ride until i find a decent set of 17x8s or splits.

Nope, I need a new fuel pump, and i haven't been able to source one yet. Also, i need to clean this mess up first to work on the car.

LOL! that looks familiar...is that my garage? ;)

It used to be worse! Much worse, i had to clear it to break my last corrado, now its starting to build up again.

 

My cousin works in leighton buzzard, hes seen a few corrados around there. He travels 2h30m there every morning at 5am to go to work. Crazy.

I grew up in Leighton Buzzard (don't really know if I should be admitting that on a public forum :oops: :lol: ) and my mum still lives there so I go back every now and then. I don't think I've ever seen a corrado about!

OI! nowt wrong with Leighton! Not that I actually live in there, I live in Eaton Bray, just outside Leighton....Theres actually a few C's round here, see a valver most days, and there is also another VR around i see from time to time.

 

And bloody hell m8, your brother must be mad! 2 and a half hours!!

LOL, yeah just joking Leighton's alright. Still never seen a 'rado round though.

 

khurrado DBP is the best colour. You will learn to love it :lol:

Ah i still have this car in my driveway, it hasnt moved one inch, the bricks under it look brand new, shame about the rest of the driveway. :?

 

Can;t get the thing started, it tries to turn over, but just wont go. Just got back in the uk, so will try the ignition first (coil and dizzy changed ages ago) going to star with the switch, it seems like it isnt getting a +ve into the system.

 

Beautiful car though, i have been driving a company merc abroad, but nothing like the feel of a corrado.
