Hi all

I am the very proud owner of a red 93 Corrado SLC - American spec (left-hooker with electric seatbelts and the "Golf" VR6 2.8l engine). Had it since 94 and its only done 110k miles so really still in its youth!

But 28 years have taken their toll - plus some dodgy repairs (even by some mainline VW dealers!!) - so it is in need of some tlc to get it back to prime condition.

 

I not a mechanic, havent "fooled around with a car" since I rebuilt a Mini Cooper in the 80s so am really looking for some good advice on where to source certain parts, who to go to for certain jobs to be done and also, importantly, to hear about and see some more Corrados

 

Cheers

M

Congrats on your new Corrado.  It looks very clean and is in one of the best colours for a C (in my opinion).

Enjoy your new purchase, you won't regret it.

Here is a few links to parts suppliers and specialists that might help.

Looks like you’ve looked after it well all those years. Some cars get through in a month the miles that’s done in a decade.

Great looking rare motor over here with a great length of ownership.  Cant be many that can beat that.

Where in the country are you?

Good link resources. Gonna pass this to uncle later when we finished installing the rack and bed cover from 4Wheelonline onto his pick-up truck project.
