Hi Dudes
Ive been lurking about on here for a couple of months and have racked up the huge amount of 15 posts !!!
I thought it was about time show you a couple of pics of my corrado that i have rescued !!! Its a nice low miles 1994 Flash Red VR6 with more service history than you can carry.
This is not my first corrado infact its my 3rd VR6 but my other two where pretty new @ the time. First one was a mystic blue storm bought when it was 1 year old reg. no. N22ACU anyone on here own it ??? it was a standard car apart from a set of 17" 6 spoke ESA wheels (when 17's where huge !!!). 2nd one i still see about as i sold it locally, it was L690PBD a Blackberry VR6 with cloth, anyone on here own it ?? This one i fitted 17" momo M1 wheels, some lowering kit i cant remember the name of and a NX Nitrous kit, car was as i sold it when i last spotted it apart from the NX kit i removed before sale. I loved that VR6 i had it round the nurburgring in the winter of 99 which was interesting but it was that car that made me want another !!!
One of the auctions i buy stock from had this red VR6 corrado in, i placed a bid in for it which gave me the highest bid until the last day. I had a real good look @ it and the car seemed very clean and the damage was very minor so i ended bidding up quite a bit higher but i bought the car anyway. I sell Bike salvage and Paint Bikes for a living so repairing this corrado was both easy and of next to no cost. When i got the car home a few days later the car seemed in much better condition than i first thought. the damage was confined to the centre front and was minor, the rad was fine and the only bits i was gonna need where a bumper, bonnet, front panel, grille and drivers light. the rest of the car was unmarked with only a minor scratch on the o/s bumper corner. Infact ive only had to paint the bonnet, front panel and bumper, the wings and rest of the car where mint ! The parts where a bit of a nightmare to find, i bought the front panel from M 15 MW on here which was a help. The original bumper i ended up repairing but i bought a brand new bonnet and headlight as they where'nt as much as i thought and where readily available rather than buying a dented one and repairing it.
The car as it is featured on the last pictures show it as it is today but it isnt going to stay that way for long. I dont need it as a daily driver i have plenty of other toys for that but i want it to be a good track car that still looks like a nice road car (if that makes sense). I have so far bought a set of Koni coilovers, M3 type rear lamps and a set of black Wolfrace kendo wheels which i will fit as soon as i have a spare day. I'm also going to colour code the door handles, numberplate light and the numberplate surround. those scruffy front indicators and numberplates will be getting changed as well. hopefully ill have time to get all this done in the next week or two as my garage is fast filling up with parts !! I also need to fit the new bonnet cable parts so i can get the bonnet to lock on both sides.
A Vortech supercharger and other engine bits are also planned over the summer as well so the car should turn into something very nice.
Ill post pictures as i get the car sorted.
