Nice to hear in an era where i often feel our ownership of these cars is been strangled through parts obsolescence and awkward dealers. The VW dealer i use is 10 miles away. The one just round the corner was so obtuse I've never been back..

Great result Sunday and totally agree the show was brilliant.. I like to think Mr Gaskell would have a grin and a raised eyebrow to see the old girl on stage at E38. Look forward to your progress with this, a very tricky car to own. The balance of preservation against restoration will be a touch call but I'm sure you will find the balance..

Im in Glasgow mate so need postage, sorry to be a pain.. My bad, thought the pop down comment was for me. Thats a long way to pop..

Its worth a punt so ill have them please. Postage unfortunately needed.

Which door trim are they? If the ones that run along the top of the door cards its a yes please. what is the third one?

All sorted, thanks to Martin…

Ah yes, good point, the grease is harder to remove from your hands than the CV from the driveshaft itself...

If you need to know anything else let me know, I'm just at the part collecting stage at the moment but by the end i will have 2 totally as new driveshafts..

To split the joints all i did was remove the cir clip (taking about the inner ones) and then hammer it off. It was in the hand vice so didn't need a lot of force.. The outer end (wheel end) didn't take a lot to split either.. This is on the one you sold me Gar.. Rob, i found a brand new genuine off side shaft that was missing the inner CV so have bought the missing one plus the 2 for the other side and am refurbing s spare to build up. The CV kits come with everything in (except the bolts). Im not going to lie not the cheapest but when new complete driveshafts were available they were £350 each.. VW sell them on exchange hence why i need one inner to take back to get my surcharge back.. Gar, i feel bad asking you to post one if i can get one locally. If i get stuck though ill give you a shout...

Ok, hopefully ill get over tonight then.. The joints are straightforward, we could 'have it off' in a few seconds..

Ideally I want to see how they are built up to help when i make these new joints up. If you are free a later on ill have a pop round.

Its the gearbox end i need, is it still on?

Condition isn't important mate, does it look difficult to get off?

Is it scrap Martin? I have another driveshaft i need to strip as well. (need to return 2 x inner and 1 x outer)..

As per title. Condition irrelevant, So long as it looks similar to one from a vr then great. I need it for exchange. I'm in Glasgow but am attending edition and will be driving from here to chesterfield to Northampton to Durham so can collect if you are near. Anyone got a scrap one in their parts bin?

A big thank you from me to VR6 Gar who has sold me a quantity of obscure parts from his breaker.. Good details provided of all parts and very sensibly priced… I should have just bought the car myself...

Not you again, you can spend my money as fast as i can.. Did you purchase the one you looked at?

No worries, nice to meet you to although you don't look like the man in your picture..

The work you have put into the boot floor and drivetrain is unreal, i have never seen anything to match that on a Corrado..

Ah the price.. its a lot but to get a car like this its going to be...

The absolute Don of Corrados. Low mileage, unbelievably clean, ludicrous power, very nice installation. What is there not to like...

Manifolds are specific but all Corrado VRs are OBD1..

I wonder how many others on here are "for our sins"..

Are you in the RAF Sean?

VW Heritage do one at a sensible price..
