Body Repair

Recommended Posts

Guest sam1990rhodes

Guys,

 

Looking at possibly purchasing an pearl grey Corrado, the only downside is the following damage:

I have a spare wing in my garage from my previous early shape rado, will this fit or are they different shapes?

 

how much would it cost to repair the door/wing do you reckon? (respray/replace door etc)

 

cheers,

 

sam :)

hi sam

it will depend on what body revision they are from - is the pearl grey a late model? what reg?

 

I know that the late models, eg N reg, are the 3rd body revision type & that included greater flaring of the arches on the wings - thus they may not match if the spare you have is of an early type as you say

 

it might be worth your while dropping into a good body shop by you & asking if they can give you an estimate, or at least say if they can repair it, from the photos

 

good luck - the pearl grey can be a lovely colour

Hi mate, I had a look at the advert for the grey car, its a late model so although your early wing may fit on, it would not look correct as goldfing3r said, it has more flared arches.

 

I do like the grey car, interested to know why they fitted a manual choke to it?

Strange why a "Specialist" would fit a manual choke.

You want late wings on that one. Or, give it to a decent body shop and they may be able to press it back out, they're only single-skin on the front arches.

 

Pearl Grey's one of the best colours, would make a nice 20vt base if the rest is sound!
