Just joined,cos my other half has just got another Corrado

[BigIainy 0]

 

Been lurking for a few months now, :)

 

the forum has been invaluable already,in fact it's nearly as good as CelticMinded.com 8)

 

this is my good lady's Corrado,she's had a few VW's before,namely a 1.8 Corrado and a MK3 Golf VR6,but after driving a Focus :shock:

for the last year,i've finally got round to getting her another Corrado(well I'm never going to get her MK1 Campaign back on the road,but dont tell her that :( )

It's a 1993 16 valve,and I picked it up really cheap and am going to do a wee rolling resto on it,got the brakes done and it's running great after a full service and new lambda sensor,looking for a standard exhaust and maybe some better wheels.

 

So I hope you dont mind if I pick your brains about certain things,and I'm going to make a concerted effort to post regularly on here 8)

 

Cheers folks,and Hail Hail.

First bit of advice required please,where's the best place to try for a set of mudflaps?

and also where can I buy a new or secondhand front bumper splitter/rubber thingy? :thumb right:

one very nice and "clean" rado!, love it!! :)

[Jim Bowen 1]

i read the mudflaps are poorly fitting on the corrado and cause damage to the paint

She's letting me drive it at the moment,but I think that might be to do with the heater blower no' working,and the

fact that it's been baltic for the last fortnight.

Thing is I bought her a nice winter coat for christmas,knowing the Rado was about to go on the road :mrgreen:

[Bojmobile 0]

So what is she like? Is it the same Audrey Smith?

Aye,I used to make it my usual Sunday run,Nardinis etc,it's a great part of Ayrshire,especially with the 3 toons bypass now.

Had a bad experience once though in my own car,I'd just taken it out after the Winter,and I headed for Largs,no realising that the front calipers were sticking,just coming up the hill at the golf course,my brakes totally failed,I'd boiled the brake fluid,managed to free wheel across the road and into the golf club car park,to a standstill.

It Shitting I was!!! :bad-words:
