To get rid simples !!! corrado ownership just grates my testicles and six years of grief and thousands spent i am giving up.

so my vr is up for sale now .

 

I'll drink to that!

 

 

 

DANG!! I must have at least bought a decent one as mine is all just niggles. I'm the opposite to this as used the rado as a daily all year and enjoyed the poop right out of it

Take it through the 80k mile barrier (only a couple of hundred to go) and maybe buy a machine polisher to make it more shiny! Perhaps take it to the National Day at Brooklands.

Slow down on it.

 

A lot of work done in 2011, and a lot of money spent, so now it's time to enjoy it.

 

Only plans are:

New front discs/pads at some point

Re-bleed brakes

Some interior bits to replace

Adjust rear wheel bearings

Replace leaky PAS pipe and new fluid

MOT due next July

Service due next October.

 

Aircon is a pipe-dream at the moment (actually finding the pipes and other bits and getting them to fit is a nightmare!) so I may put that on hold.

mission impossible;

 

- fabricate seat frame and fit passenger recaro seat

- upgrade lighting loom

- complete wheel refurb and fit

- further upgrade to 312 brakes

- sort tracking

- finish the paintwork

- windscreen out for rust investigation/ fix

- source 2nd hand interior and dye to match black cloth fronts

- diy remap

- chains and engine rebuild next winter

 

if i get half of that done then i'll be pleased :)

Try and find window wind mechanism for my 16v as the cable has snapped. Also find new speedometer, and micro switch for central locking. Also need to sort out the numerous rust spots, then put it through an MOT!

Also need to find new power steering pump for my VR6 and sort out oil leak :(

Its going to be an expensive new year :s
