    Oh dear..!!

    Yep that’s what I thought...I managed to find a really good rear turret from a Mk2 golf and have drilled out the top cup spot welds...Just need to drill out the rotten one ..!! I did find it was strange it was worse on the drivers side as it’s normally the passenger side that gets the most crap..!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Local bodyshop....had work done by them in the past and always been really good...!! Have never done any welding but it’s always something I’ve wanted to have a go at..!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noticed Blue Perl written on the exhaust tunnel....any one else noticed that before on a Storm or did they write on all of them..??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone had this...the rear shock top mount has rusted through in a few places...can the spot welds be drilled out and another one welded in..?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Hi mate...i'll take the passenger side door trim wedge if its still available...just PM me how you want me to pay...!!! Cheers Andy
  8. I bought new wishbones with the bushes already fitted...they weren’t too bad to do on axle stands was well pleased when the front mounting bolts came out in 1 piece..have heard a few lads on here having a nightmare when they shear off..!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Got a few jobs done over the weekend...new wishbones fitted with the R32 rear bushes , dreaded having a go at the front bolts in case they snapped but both came out no bother...replaced with new. New inner tie rods fitted , new steering boots, track rod ends and drop links. Also replaced the sump as had a leak from the gasket and had to come off anyway to get the drivers wishbone bolt out..!! Just ordered a set of AP Coilovers with new mounts all round so will be interesting to see what the ride is like once they are fitted...!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I've just had a look and you can fill out a V888 form...might cost a fiver but looks like the DVLA will supply you with previous owners names and addresses...not sure how far back it goes as never done it before...!!!
  11. Alright mate, you may have used this before but it gives a history of previous MOT's from 2006..!! http://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history
  12. Well I have been a Corrado owner for over 2 years now so thought it's about time I started a thread. Was after a Mk2 Golf 16v originally but struggled to find a decent one for realistic money...then this popped up on EBay. I rang the guy and he sounded genuine so a deal was struck over the phone and off I went to Wales to pick it up. It took 6 hours to drive home( Friday afternoon ) but the car never missed a beat, and to be honest it's just got better and better.Has done 141,000 miles but have no idea if the chains and tensioners been done but hasn't any nasty rattles or knocks. It had Speedlines fitted when I bought it but I also got the original Solitudes as well. It had its original exhaust on which was rotten so has been replaced with a non-resonated Jetex which sounds superb. Apart from 2 services it has FSH by VW and even came with the original Storm brochure. Have done various jobs like new sunroof motor and headlining, new bearings,rear discs and pads etc. Jobs to do are AP Coilovers, front wishbones, bushes , front discs, pads , bearing but will wait till winter as try to use it as much as possible. Gutted that I have missed the Leeds VW Festival for the past 2 years as I work away but should be there next year all being well..!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Offers anyone...would rather see someone use it than put it in the loft to be lost forever..!!!!
