massbad69 10 Posted September 25, 2015 Hi I am usually a Vw Golf mk1 man but I collect my VR6 tomorrow. Dont know much about them but no doubt I will be learning fast. No doubt I will need a fair bit of help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks all, I cannot wait until I pick it up. I was organising the Scottish Region of the Vw Golf Mk1 owners club but I have always loved Corrado's so now is the time. No doubt I will ask some stupid questions but we all need to learn :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kdub 10 Posted September 25, 2015 Welcome to the club from sunny Ayrshire. We definitely need to organise a Scottish meet for all the corrado owners. Slowly but surely gaining in numbers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks again for the welcome. It's a 4 owner, 93k mile car with fsh. New Bilstein B12 kit with Eibach lowering springs and recently refurbed wheels. Negative points are 1 rust blister at the rear screen seal and 1 at the skirt behind the front arch. The passenger elec window needs fixing and the heater directional knob is stuck. The usual wee stone chips etc but that's it until I see it tomorrow but the current owner is an enthusiast so it should be as described. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisL 17 Posted September 25, 2015 Corrado looks nice, that sportline looked a beaut too. I used to have a red sportline a few years ago. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SR_Neale 10 Posted September 25, 2015 If the rado turns out like the mk1 it will be awesome. What's the plan with the rado? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted September 25, 2015 Plans will be get the wee bits all sorted then who knows. My Sportline had a 50 page thread over 5 yrs and this may be the same. I just need to learn about the car more. Poss wheels, intetior retrim, clear lights, brakes etc but still looking stock as I never ruin cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted September 27, 2015 Thanks a lot I just spent most of the day doing my usual clean down, like on the underside of the doors where the weep holes are, all the door shuts, boot shuts full car. Removed locking wheel bolts and put VW bolt caps on the wheels bolts. Full inside clean down and Hoover, seats cleaned and all window stickers and tax holder removed. List of to dos - Bodyshops for price for blister under rear screen seal and tiny one on front side skirt also removal of 5 car park dings. Ordered clear side indicators with diadem silver bulbs. Passenger electric window fixed. Heater direction fixed. Full paint correction by my detailer. All arches cleaned down and waxed Engine bay detail ?? Then need to get wish list - Replace all discs and pads Larger retrim Paint myself or send away for full caliper rebuild and pro paint. Change alarm system to something easier and more modern. New head unit Wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
