White VR6 in Windy Yorkshire! :)

Recommended Posts

Can you do it outside but as you say I'm a box? One warm evening this week when the heat of the sun has gone

 

U don't know my new neighbours round here!

Just been told off for parking in one neighbour s spot - let alone trying to do something that looked dodgy from outside in a box?!!! :eek:

 

 

 

:lol:

something like that can easily be done outside with spray can , where a glove and hold it from the hinge as you spray it, then bring it straight inside being careful not to hit it, place it by an open window, you want the air/draft forcing out of the room/window so make sure you open the right one's depending on wind conditions, failing that im sure it would be fine in bath room with extractor fan on .

 

 

Thanks - But I think u do not know my "Wayne's unlucky and disastrous" reputation! :eek:

 

I think I pass - and stick with the vinyl.

 

As discussed before, even trying to match the paint will be difficult as paint has weathered over the 20 years also compared with a new fresh spray of white candy paint...

 

 

But thanks for your advice :o

Buyer s reply when he got home after 250miles or so...

 

"

Just got in. Had a short stop on way down. Car was a dream to drive. More fun the daily drive (C63) and that's a lot of fun. Thanks for everything. Will keep you posted with her development. A pleasure doing business with you

"

 

 

Sound guy

Bought the C as a project to restore to OEM.

Winter deadline is full body ReSpray to its former Candy White glory :clap:

As I am C-less now

 

I will be going thru a patch of C withdrawal symptoms - will stick a patch of nicotine (with a Corrado PIC on it) each day on both my arms.

 

The weekly 3 times a blast on the bypass will be hugely missed by myself and my youngest.

 

Joys of driving and huge respect and almost daily compliments from other drivers / passer bys will never be the same again.

 

Other night 2 17 year olds started a conversation and always wanted one!

Amazement from me as they are so young - and they do not look like yobs to me!

 

Was showing buyer the C last night, and 2 passerby's commented "really nice car u got there!"

 

Taking the PIC of both cars on the mai road - got a shout of a passing car "nice cars!"

 

 

 

 

Well

Sad day for me, but its done - been a roller coaster ride for me too

Mostly all good, but plenty of not goods too!

Hi

 

1st time Corrado owner bought literally this Tuesday ...

Drove away from buyer and car broke down :(

 

Unable to get into gear - RAC arrives.

 

Apparently driving in heavy traffic and holding clutch overheats the system!

 

RAC man suggests:

Put in neutral when ever stopped.

And look into Clutch Slave Cylinder!

 

This has to be a forum record 0 - 162 pages in 6 months.

 

The Rover looks nice, I hope it works out well for you.

 

You'll be back :)

Do the old boys on the rover forum know how to use a computer, thought they were all great grandparents. Maybe all silver surfers.

Lol

 

To be fair - I had the same concerns and nearly backed out a few times buying a Rover.

 

But many online owners mostly have good things to say about the Rovers (esp the ones designed by BMW).

 

And the people on the Rover forum as just as helpful as those on the C forum :thumbleft:

 

 

For the money u can buy,

I think it's a lot of car for it.

And so far - touch wood - its not broken down yet :dance:
