nice one :) sounds a good un

[GIXXERUK 0]

cheers daz i really hope so, i've looked at quite a few now :|

[tonytiger 0]

Congratulations 8) - sounds good. Gearbox, clutch, and engine rebuild should give you peace of mind for quite a few miles I'd of thought. Remember how happy I was when I bought mine. 10 months (18000 miles) on though and it's ready for a head rebuild (and hopefully not the bottom end) and stalls a lot - spoils the experience really.

 

What colour and how many miles?

[GIXXERUK 0]

oh yeah the parcel shelf was a bit tatty but he has another i can have and a reiger front grill he never fitted, he also kerbed a wheel and bought a new one so i can have the other wheel to refurb

 

110 k but as i said near enough all the running gear has been changed, 6 months tax and 11 months mot, dragon green i think , well metallic green anyhow

 

sorry to hear about yours tony :cry:

[jedi-knight83 0]

nice. how much then ?

[dinkus 10]

Looks very nice! :D Buy it...you know you want to... it's not going to cost you tooo much in repairs either if it's already had that much work done on it :)

[GIXXERUK 0]

oh yeah its had a new brake master cylinder ,they found a problem while fitting the new discs :D

lots of paperwork supplied with the car for the work down , all the previous mot's

 

i got the price down to £3500 which seems like a good price considering the thousands that have been spent on it

 

the engine is totally dry , no oil leaks ,even the sump is bone dry (outside :wink: )

as i said i'm picking it up this morning , all the electrics work , windows sunroof, spoiler etc

hopefully post pics later and maybe meet you all at a meet sometime 8)

 

anyone recommend any other vr6 sites? nowt wrong with this one but the more the merrier 8)

 

cheers

from what i've read the corrado isnt just a car its an obsession or at the very least it becomes a hobby

[jedi-knight83 0]

good price for a nice car. look forward to seeing it some time

[GIXXERUK 0]

first question - i've got the warning triangle thing in the back seat panel but what is supposed to be in the back seat arm rest ? a first aid kit ?
