easypops 8 Posted October 3, 2017 I got them from VW mate, the part number is from a Passat. I got the information on here, wasn't that long ago and I just popped in yesterday to see if they were still available and hey presto, they called this morning. Here is the comparison to the one survivor I have Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those guys look like they know their stuff 8) Yeah they do Martin . A few cock ups with screen seals , one part missing from a pack , then another arrived from Heritage and had been folded so they would not fit it as they were not happy with the seal . Third time lucky , I hope to pick it up this Saturday. I have over 80 pics from them . Once I've worked out how to save them and I have the final paint pics , I will put them on my gallery.

easypops 8 Posted March 9, 2018 I’ve been very quiet of late, really busy with work so car time has been at the bottom of the list. Jamiehamy has been here quite a few times over the last few months and I think he eventually got more fed up than me with the zero car progress . So over the last couple of weeks, Jamie has kindly given up some of his time to help me(more like me trying to help him) get the underside sorted. The rear beam has been swapped, all bushes/brakes/bolts etc replaced. The front is also well under way with the subframe/wishbones/rad support/crossmember/driveshafts/hubs replaced. Also fitted a set of coilovers I picked up a few years ago, FK of some variety? Eibach arb’s fitted as well. All bolts replaced with new where possible. Not there yet but it’s definitely coming along. All thanks to Jamie , cheers mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KARMANN 0 Posted April 4, 2018 Oh that rad support panel looks lush! I so wanted that to have been for sale when i visited you. Looking good. Fraser Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1xshaunx1 27 Posted April 5, 2018 You can still get the rad panel through classic parts in Germany or if you can wait a bit through heritage with cheaper delivery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted September 7, 2018 I guess I should put a wee update on. Having had zero time in the last months for Corrado tinkering, an opportunity came up for me to get involved with Goldie’s latest purchase. He knows I’m a sucker for these cars and with the goodies this one had I couldn’t refuse :) It was bought as a breaker as it had had an internal fire which was behind the dashboard. After it arrived I hated the thought of killing it as it looked so good, plus I already have a parts car with the dashboard and loom intact. Sadly that thought died when we got to the rear end as it’s rotten, massive rust issues which you can literally put your hand through. So unless I have a mad turn it’ll never see the road again. The list of parts I acquired was definitely worth it. I doubt I’ll sell any but you never know.......one day maybe:lol: Full front lights Updated shrick 268 cams Wavetrec LSD in the gearbox Full stainless exhaust with tubular manifold and decat Samco silicone hoses Magnecor ht leads Lightened crank pulley Full set of badges Lupo GTi wipers Working sunroof Plus I still have the car, so seats, wings, bumpers, windows and much more. All stuff I’d have probably tried to buy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted September 11, 2018 Coilovers Eibach anti roll bar The car does look nice in that picture and it is a shame it is too far gone. I bet you will have it for a another 5 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easypops 8 Posted November 11, 2018 I finally found some time to clear out my garage and the red VR6 at last came down off its axle stands and made it into the dry(and warm):) As I’m going to be doing the OBD2 swap, I’ll be removing the engine, which will allow me to get the wavetrac diff fitted into the gearbox. Plus I might as well do the chains/tensioners and any other associated bits while it’s out, including the 268 cams and the Schrick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
