Hofmiester 10 Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I’ve owned this car since 2012 and brought it up from being a decent car in daily use, to being a really nice Corrado used for weekend trips and shows. I’ve spent hundreds of hours and thousands of pounds getting it to this "garage princess" standard……but I’ve always wanted a 911 and now I can just about afford one so sadly it has to go! It is a 1993 VR6 (L reg) in Blackberry with Black heated leather. I am very much an OEM+ man and so I’ve gone down the route of it retaining its original look but with little tweaks here and there. I've bought brand new OEM parts when available at eye watering costs! It has 147K on the clock but don’t let that worry you as the only original part on the engine is the block and gearbox. Everything that was worn on the car has been replaced, from cylinder head to timing chains to bushes through the window scrapers. Everything works as it should or better. I have an NVQ3 in Engineering and 20 years of VW ownership (beetles, golfs and 3x Corrados) so I have done most basic work myself with the mechanics done by Stealth or MB Motorsport. The car has full service history, stack of past MOTs and a huge folder of receipts. Current MOT is September 2017 and passed with no advisory. Important receipt from stealth, and I also have a 2" thick file of receipts. All MOTs for last 10 years Link to more pics https://www.amazon.co.uk/clouddrive/share/xgNW0Ir28XjpIcQh2vvOCelqODTO1a34mX8wOOyhVmh?v=grid&ref_=cd_ph_share_link_email Exterior Body and paint is pretty much faultless as I had the car partially resprayed when I bought it, along with a new, rot free passenger front wing. The wingmirrors are only bit that let it down a bit as they have stone chips and the glass is starting to go at the edges. The car with come with two brand new ones, inc glass that I never got around to fitting. Fairly hard to find SEAT Toledo moonroof that fits the roofline properly unlike many others, also had a new sunroof seal while I was fitting it. Spoonfed PU 70mm front lip Lupo wipers SWG Scuttle tray LED H4 headlamp bulbs New VR6 grille, New window scrapers, roof gutter trims, Ariel gasket etc New badges, VR6 grille badge, front and rear VW badges, corrado script rear badge is in good condition Fogs and indicators are mint and have been LaminX’ed Brand new passenger side headlamp lense BBS RX226 (16” Golf MK3 anniversary wheels) fully refurbed last year, all tyres are good Cavities were all injected with Dinitrol, sills, chasis rails etc Underside was fully inspected in 2014, fuel tank removed and rear beam, tank straps etc all refurbished. Body was rot free apart from the odd bit of surface rust and that was treated with POR15 before being resealed in Black underbody Shultz Interior The interior was completely removed by me back in 2014 for a full restoration, replacement of all clips, relined with felt to stop squeaks, centre tunnel fixed with a Dave16v bracket etc Dash wiring was all tidied up and a new heater matric fitted. Full Black heated leather, in good condition with no nicks or bald patches Drivers seat had a new lower bolster and is in great shape Brand new VR6 steering when from the group buy I organised a few years back, we bought the last 7 wheels from vwclassic at a cost of £170 each Dash, facias, control knobs are all unmarked and it took me ages to find all the mint bits to replace anything that was marked or worn DDI inverted/red illumination LCD screens for MFA and Milometer Set of brand new, original corrado script mats Suspension, drivetrain and brakes KW V1 Stainless coil overs All bushes replaced in last 20K miles including brand new VW rear axle bushes New tie rods, ends etc Poly steering rack bush Front brakes are 288mm from a late mk3 golf VR6 and were refurbed and painted silver before fitting. It also had a new rear drivers side calliper. Finished off with Goodridge braided hoses. All abs sensors replaced EBC Green pads all round with Pagid disks, all in good nick New Pagid handbrake cables Daves16v Short shift kit Engine has Vibra technics front, and gearbox mounts. Rear mount is a JRenshaw poly mount. A bit more vibration that standard but worth it. Engine The car has a SHRICK VGI, Stealth remap and BMC Carbon intake. It also has a full Miltek stainless exhaust with a Decat (Original cat worked fine and will come with the car) The cylinder head was replaced by VW Doncaster at around 120k miles, head gasket and various other bits were done then too. Chains and tensioners, plus the clutch was done by Stealth racing at around 135k MAF, Bosch Fuel pump, Fuel filter, Bosch Lambda, FPR are all new in the last year as I had an issue with the car feeling flat on power. Each thing slightly improved it and now it feels great. The cooling system has been almost entirely replaced in the last 5 years including radiator, heater matrix, temp sensors, thermostat, and all pipes replaced with Black Samco hoses. Early style rubber intake boot ICE JVC head unit with Green illumination to match the dash, it has Bluetooth, CD etc Component speakers in the front Pioneer 4x6 in the OEM rear positions Other bits Has the original Spark plug removal tool, warning triangle and medical kit (replica) Under bonnet foam sound deadening has been replaced I have a shed load of spare parts that can be negotiated in the sale Bad bits Passenger side front window has a different reg etched on it. When I bought the car the window was scratched from a corroded scraper seal and I ordered this one on ebay. The glass is mint but it has a reg etched in the bottom corner. Rear bumper has a very small patch of paint reaction (2p sized) from where it had a smart repair last year, I scraped it on a bollard :( When the respray was done, the drivers side scraper was NLA so we left it on to save damaging it. This has left a small line in the top coat. The door shut areas have not been as well smoothed in the respray as the rest of the car, easy job for someone good with paint. The Autowatch alarm/immob system is pretty old and the siren casing cracked due to the heat in the engine bay. I fixed with some resin but I would have eventually fitted a new alarm if I was keeping it. Price is £6000 firm on the RX226 wheels and that includes the private plate A11 VRX. I also have a set of RH ZW1 splits and adaptors with brand new Toyo proxies that I would do for £500 more (with me keeping the RX226) My PM box is totally full so please contact me at ron dot ashtiani at gmail.com Edited March 17, 2017 by Hofmiester Thought of yet more stuff to add Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted March 14, 2017 Too cheap Ron I think. Someone is going to get a bargain. I deliberated a lot on the price. £6k is firm though and for the forum. If I end up going to eBay or auto trader it will go on at £6.5k ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geeba 0 Posted March 15, 2017 I dont suppose you remember what SEAT Toledo roof exactly you installed do you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted March 15, 2017 I've updated the add to include pics of the Service History and documentation, both keys etc Geeba - The Sunroof was from a P reg SEAT Toledo. Hard to find as they didnt make may Toledos for the UK and not many were spec'ed up for a Sunroof. Great fit though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
