iceviolet 0 Posted January 11, 2015 Ice Grey Violet VR6 For Sale Needs TLC Reluctant sale of my Corrado, I have been trying to hold on to it but it needs to go now due to a family car being required! And I cant justify running 3 cars! The Corrado has seen very little use in the last 4 years due to other cars and busy with house projects etc. so the mileage has not gone up much. When I first bought the car I kept a log of things I had done but that died at death the back end of 2010 when I lost enthusiasm/became occupied elsewhere and the log was kind of forgotten. It is attached to show what work before 2010 I had done, some of which may have been reversed now as the car is pretty much back to standard form. So the car is being sold as a project really in need of some TLC. Good points: Owned the car since February 2008. MOT runs out April 2015 Tax runs out April 2015 New Battery fitted 6 months ago. All 3 keys present. All electrics working. Engine rebuild at 136445 miles. (SEE BUILD THREAD) Now on just over 141000. Had new genuine VW Denso Radiator fitted in August 2010. Had new genuine VW Heater matrix fitted in August 2010 also. Just had an oil and air filter change. I service the car myself and it had a new oil filter and oil 2 months ago. Had rear beam removed and new bushes in last few years. Comes with 2 spare freshly powder coated Speedlines and used tyres. Interior is black cloth, no rips/tears/fag burns anywhere. Upgrades: Mocal Oil Cooler 288mm Brake set up from late mk3 Golf Vr6 DubPower cat back system Genuine Corrado Oil and Volt gauges Has a period pioneer stereo. Bad Points: See pictures. Under bonnet foam is in need of replacement BUT I have a kit from the group buy on here. Drivers side cill had a rust hole in it and has been repaired ? new metal was welded in and filled and is currently just primed. Requires painting professionally. General body work issues associated with a 20 year old car on mostly original paint. Stone chips to front slam panel and bumber and bonnet. Small scratch on sunroof. Small bubbles of rust beginning to appear in various places on the car. Drivers door has corrosion on in side of door shut. Nothing major though, all panels are solid and In my opinion if these are caught fairly soon to stop the spread of rust then they will be fine. apart from the door which may need replacing. Mechanically the car is sound, engine pulls strong and doesn't use any water or burn oil. One thing maybe worth mentioning is that it seems to have developed a lazy tappet on initial start up which does not concern me at all. The 12V VR6 engine is far from refined and doesn't like being rudely awoken in my experience!! The alarm system does not work as there is no loudspeaker under the bonnet. However the full closure and central locking all work off the keys. I have put pictures on below that were taken roughly 6 months ago but I will take some more this week of the car and interior. So a nice little project car for someone with the time and space. Wish I could keep it and get it resprayed. Love the colour. Car is located in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. ?1500 is the lowest price I could take which I think is very reasonable.
