More appreciation

Anyone looked at their classifieds section ?

A 24k mile storm and a Campaign for sale !

Pretty straight forward work

£150- £200 should easily cover it with an indy

Happy Christmas folks :)

That’s v cool 8)

Unless you want brand new I would wander down to a breakers yard with a couple of spanner’s

Find a mk 3 or 4 golf

They will be fine

There is a Tdc mark on the crankshaft pulley

It’s in an odd place (around 4 o’clock position )

The timing can be adjusted without removing the gearbox

I have found the Gtechniq to be excellent in some cases but it depends on the type of plastic it’s being applied to

Tried it on my door trims but it wasn’t great on them.

I also had some BBS rx504 in 17in , shown in a couple of the pics

I really liked those too and would possibly have some again if some came up for grabs

Hard to find now though

But then again just keeping things standard ish seems more sensible nowadays

Sold them for 2.5 k

That was the asking price

Don’t regret selling them, enjoyed them for a few years,

They were a bit of a pain at times having to be ultra careful when driving on our potholed roads and also

Worrying if the centre caps would get stolen

Are those real BBS RS you have on your old car Harrier? if so do you still have them and wheel spec. 5 stud 5x100 etc.

 

Cheers.

They were genuine RS,s yes

17in 5x100 et 35

Moved them on a while ago now

Hi Nick

Some nice memories from those shows, the rolling shots of mine (C11VRG) look stunning

Sold that car a long while ago now and do miss it

Do still own a Corrado though

Another black one :)

These guys have a good reputation I believe

Don’t know the car but be careful to check if it’s a real Storm

There are fake ones out there

Though for that price, if the car is decent it probably doesn’t really matter

Tried to post a link for pics but doesn’t work

Postimages.org used to work for me

Welcome back to Rado ownership Chris

Good choice of colour

Be good to see some pics and hear of your plans

The motor is very easy to change, the Mk3 golf motor is cheap and easy to source so worth a try before you strip out the mechanism

I’m going on Saturday, been a few years since my last visit

Won’t be in the C though

LA9V is definitely a black in dull light but does change to a more graphite/ almost brownish tint in evening sun

It would be fabulous to see this car someday

Good work lads :)

Possibly this one, 3rd car along

Was at the Ccgb National day early this month, Standford Hall was the following day

Hi mate

I have some

Can’t guarantee they are any good though as it’s been a long time since they were used

Where are you based ?

Paid £50 for my first car in 1986,a Renault 12. used my college grant to fix up the engine which along with the rest of the car was rubbish.

My mates hated going out in it as it kept breaking down

Funny enough there was one in the same colour at Donnington Historic on Saturday

Things improved vastly with my second car, Ford Cortina mk5

Diamond black is shown as an anomaly on here but no mention of LC9V ?

Perhaps it’s rarer than I realised

Every day a school day !!

Yes, I have the same tag

It does certainly sound better Delfinis :)

Well

I thought I knew my Corrado pretty well but just checked my tag and it is indeed Black Magic Pearl

Have seen it called Diamond Black somewhere though I’m sure

Might have to change my signature now !
