Haribo 10 Posted April 16, 2011 After 7 golfs it was time for a change, So I found a Corrado. I bought it off a dude on this forum and I couldnt be happier with my decision :D When I got it there was plenty to do... Heater controls didnt work, Water pump on the way out, Thermostat stuck, Exhaust wasnt put on too well so knocking plenty, Drivers door didnt like being closed, Split CV boot, bah, bored of making lists, there was other bits and bobs, most of which are done and sorted now. Just as personal preference I got nice new mats, gear stick gaitor, fitted an immobiliser and just tidyed it up really. Also added one of those all in one scuttle panels, pretty expensive but im pretty happy with it. Annnd I bought some clear/red rear lights which had horrible chrome bases so I sprayed them black and also did black borders round each lense, I think it look spretty good, its not as tidy a job as it looks tho Still plan to replace the wings when I can due to some rust where some mud flaps used to be. Anyway, here it is :) ---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ---------- Worth adding that I have gone from having lots of money saved to borrowing money off my brother to last me until payday because of this car :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted April 16, 2011 You will have more work to do on that one Corrado, than all the Golfs put together. Welcome to the danger zone :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haribo 10 Posted April 16, 2011 heh, im used to it :) So far it seems very similar to a golf mechanically, Im hoping soon itl stop taking my money at such a rate, already replaced sh!t loads of things, im prepared tho, already got a spare set of heater controls... just in case ---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ---------- nice paintwork, good luck with the work, it's always worth to save a good car yeh paintwork is ok, theres a few spots that could do with a touch up, This is the one car that I can see myself splashing out on a respary for one day.

craigowl 0 Posted April 17, 2011 I'm hankering for a nice Mk2 GTi again. Probably be more likely to nip out to Tesco, etc, in it than I am with the storm which sits immobile for weeks on end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haribo 10 Posted April 20, 2011 Well, heres my solution to broken number plate plinth luggs, its a bit scrappy but it does the trick. I got rid of what was left within the plastic circle and Q-bonded a screw in its place. Thats is some good shiz, dont get it on your hands tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
