Daniel29490 10 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Hi, some of you might've seen me trying to find a Corrado on this forum, I posted on here saying I'm trying to find the owner etc etc... Anyway, fast forward 2 weeks, and we're the very very very proud new owners (me & girlfriend) of her. She's a 2.0 16V, she drives lovely, although she's been stood for 4 years. Come Monday she's going for an MOT to see what needs doing. Only 1 picture as I'm an idiot, and left her without taking a few more detailed shots. Sorry..... Here she is: [ATTACH=CONFIG]78794[/ATTACH] GF took another picture... [ATTACH=CONFIG]78795[/ATTACH] Edited June 7, 2014 by Daniel29490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel29490 10 Posted June 7, 2014 Anyone going to the Deva Dub Show tomorrow? I'll be there for inspiration, and in hopes I'll find someone with a Corrado there to tell me all about the pitfalls, etc etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel29490 10 Posted June 8, 2014 We have her a good wash today and a superficial polish to see how she'd clean up. She'll get a full detailing as she's turning out well after a crappy one hour polish...

Daniel29490 10 Posted June 8, 2014 She needs a battery, an mot, and she's overheating. Then she'll be fast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel29490 10 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) And believe it or not, she passed the MOT. No advisories. I'm extatic. All she needs now is a good ol' service. Also, the overheating issue is now gone, I think it was because of the duff battery and the fan not kicking in. It's been revved for the emissions for 10-15 min standing still and didn't overheat so I think that's a good sign. I figured out the wiring for the spoiler as well, and realised it was unplugged, so I plugged'er back in, and voila, Active spoiler is Active again.... I'll whore it a bit more.
