_leon_ 0 Posted April 5, 2009 Well done on getting it back - will keep an eye on whats going on here! Any changes to how it was beforehand? As I understood you'd completed the package so moved on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEL VR6 0 Posted April 6, 2009 nice one Gareth. :clap: Welcome back (were you ever away properly?) Get some pictures up of a car that you know is one of my all time favorite Corrados. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 6, 2009 Congratulations on your purchase. It must be a great/strange feeling. It's a bit like Friends Reunited.. maybe someone should start a website to track down previous cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tedman 0 Posted April 6, 2009 It just wouldn't be the mine without Recaros (they are still in there) and 301s (which are probably in in my garage already) :wink: Great news :clap: how much for the rx's :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dukest 0 Posted April 10, 2009 very nice all that, reading through that list i seem to have done 90% of it as well without really noticing, which is a mixture of good and alarming! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted April 10, 2009 You must be a very happy man, still the benchmark in my eyes.. Im on the verge of selling mine so dont make it too nice or i may just have to keep it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vick N 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Great news Gareth, always been one of my favourites. Will you be showing it this year? Would love to see this in person! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Certainly hope to get out and about this Summer, just a few little touches i'm hoping to do then I can sit back and enjoy it. Definately heading over to Holland for MIVW, not sure of my other plans as yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tedman 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Always loved this pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted April 11, 2009 Thanks for posting the pic Tedman, its good to have a pic of how the car currently looks. Of course its never going to look radically different. Got a nice parcel today, a set of 4 centre caps for the RS 301s. Half height caps genuine brand new from BBS eyewatering price but 4 of only 11 left at BBS (lattice section too). Library picture for reference of a previous set now residing on Bill Aitken's superb Corrado. Just need a set of Gold script badges now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

young dub 0 Posted April 11, 2009 osv do you still have the full height caps? if they are for sale, I could be interested. Also seen what RS's you have acquired, will you actually mount this set? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted April 11, 2009 Its the only set I have now so they are going straight on the car. It won't see winter though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
