VR6 Gar 10 Posted July 20, 2014 Unfortunately its coil not dizzy so a control box is needed reading that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Gar 10 Posted July 20, 2014 Given the car a good clean and took a few photos. There are a fair few marks to the paint that I couldn't see last night through the dirt, however it is still in good nick for its age. Actually contemplating selling the VRT to free up some money and keeping this :shocked!: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 20, 2014 Does look very straight and clean! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted July 20, 2014 It does look pretty good to be honest Gar , well worth it as a keeper . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferosferio 10 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Looks pretty clean, certainly cleaner/straighter than mine! Definitely not one for breaking, seems a great buy :thumbleft: Edited July 20, 2014 by Ferosferio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Gar 10 Posted July 20, 2014 Just been out for another drive and it looks like it will be getting broken :( Cable tied the flap on the Schrick open and it made no difference to how the car ran up top. It did make the low end worse though so there is a problem elsewhere. Don't want to be spending money trying to find out what. Unless someone were to take it off my hands for £2200 I just can't justify not breaking it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 20, 2014 Have you vagcom'd it yet? Could be something as simple as the cam position sensor if it's quite down on power. And where did £2,200 as a sale price come from? Didn't you just buy it for under £1,700? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Gar 10 Posted July 20, 2014 Not Vagcom'd it. Bought it to make some money Jim. Could easily break it for over £2500, so would let it go for £2.2k if someone were interested to save me the effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could easily break it for over £2500, so would let it go for £2.2k if someone were interested to save me the effort. If you cant afford or don't want to be bother trying to fix it why don't you offer it for sale at a price that covers your expenses but still makes it attractive to another enthusiast? Put it down to experience and allow someone else a chance to save it?-Seems a shame to break another good car for a few quid profit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullfinch 0 Posted July 20, 2014 Capitalism at work. At least you were honest from the start with this thread. If you keep a tally of what you get I look forward to the final answer - can you double the £1,700 you paid for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 23 Posted July 20, 2014 Its not easy, days off end up half over by the time you package and book couriers etc. Requests for part numbers and pics have you up and down like a yoyo, 5 times one Saturday evening saw me clambering into the garage loft and not one sale from it in the end....... Its not easy money for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not easy money for sure Totally Dox. I didn't buy mine to make money but to get bit's I was missing and to learn on which has been great and I have helped a few folk along the way. I do still have bit's but I would rather they went to people who I have had dealing's with to help out not out to make money from would rather help people.

VEEDUBBED 0 Posted July 21, 2014 Defiantly a shame breaking such a nice one. If you go ahead and break her I'll have both sides fog/indicators, grille, both headlamps and possibly, if it could be couriered to Rome, the complete front bumper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruggy 10 Posted July 21, 2014 I'd be interested in the passenger wing, if it's rust free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Gonna lock this up as it's rapidly turning into a breaking thread. Please start a thread in the breakers section should you decide to go grouch with it. Personally, it seems to good to break. However, after breaking two Corrado's myself, it can be worth while. You should make a minimum of £1.5k profit from a standard car. Black interior stuff always sells well compared to grey. Edited July 23, 2014 by CazzaVR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
