JAM11E 10 Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) [ATTACH=CONFIG]96971[/ATTACH] Hi All, I bought this car over 3 years ago now. The chap I bought it from was initially looking for advice on how to repair the car as the headgasket had gone. Headgasket aside, the car needed a huge amount of work just to get it roadworthy, let alone the cosmetic side of things. Having offered the chap a sum of money (bear in mind he didn't want to sell it initially) , I had the car collected from a small hotel in Snowdonia, lumped it onto a transporter and we headed home. It took me 2 and a half years to get it to where I wanted. Having thought long and hard about it I have decided to sell, not because I have to but more because I feel i'm doing a dis-service to the car as it's not used. I've driven less than 1000 miles since i have it, at present it lives in my garage under a lovely soft cloth. It's time to sell, I've spent a huge amount of time and money on the Corrado since i've had it, I do not expect to regain what i've spent as that would simply be unattainable, however I expect a decent amount given how mechanically and aesthetically sound the car is. Below is a large and probably not full list of things I have done/replaced/repaired since owning the car. One of the greatest achievements was getting the car refinished, I used a company called "RPM Automotive Refinishers", Ross, the owner, was a fantastic help, always sending me photos/videos, always asked if there was any work that he thinks needed doing on top of what we already agreed. The reason I chose Ross over anyone else was A) his knowledge B) his portfolio of work is exceptional, has worked on many classic cars from E-Types, to Bentleys & VW Campers. I paid just under £7000 for the paint including some welding work etc. The finished is exceptional, i've been back a handful of times to have some other work carried out on the corrado. All items new/replaced -Timing chains & tensioners -Head, valves, etc -Clutch -Engine mounts -Headlamps -Water & Fuel pump -Fuel lines -HT Leads -Expansion Tank -Thermostat & Radiator -Battery & starter motor -Pretty much every engine sensor -All suspension components, wishbones, track rods, CV joints - BC Racing fully adjustable suspension -New brake calipers, discs, pads & bearings all round -Brake lines all replaced -Rubber seals around doors & window scrapers (apart form the obsolete ones) -90mm splitter -Bonnet cable -Scuttle panel -Heater matrix - Bonnet -Windscreen with green tint at the top to match -Steering rack -Roof rubber seals -Wheels refurbished -Custom exhaust system -Bare metal paint job costing circa £6000-£7000 Links to photo album on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/gp/111754086@N08/171WPq Around £16,000 spent on this car over the past 3 years i've owned it (like i said i am not looking to recoup that amount, it's important that I tell you this information so you can understand the work that has gone into it) . Don't let the 190k miles put you off this car is spotless and mechanically sound. I've probably forgotten a huge amount to be honest, if you have any questions please fire away. Looking for £6500 which I think is a good price Edited May 20, 2019 by JAM11E Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
