Do you think it's worth putting a proper ad up on here , was just being lazy if I'm honestv

Thanks seats are brand new , whole car is practically brand new to be honest.

hi all This is my Corrado that is absolutely mint , I'm going to live in France for a couple of years and have given up my work unit where this has been stored for last few years so unfortunatly this needs to go pretty quick , I've been driving it for last couple of weeks and it's amazing and so clean If it dosent go it will be being sold to a local dealer who will practically give me nothing for it so make me an offer I have all paperwork and have Owened for 8 years Real shame to be letting it go for silly money as this is the cleanest one of these I have ever seen and I've personally spent a fortune on it , but I'm not prepared to leave it outside not being started for a couple of years and going downhill so this will be s proper bargin for somebody All details here http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=301585370299

Just read from start to finish , amazing job you've done bud , going out in garage now with a cup of tea to look at my recently finished project , and to think I was going to sell now it's Done , I've got the love back ha ha

Cheers guys , I think it prob right about keeping and enjoying but I'm sure you all prob know for some reason we do all this work to our cars to get them perfect then think about moving on to another project !! Don't know how many times I said during the restoration once this is finished I'm never selling this car ha ha . I also do admire people who have lovely cars and then still drive/track them as where is the fun in not using it cause your frightened of ruining it . If it stays I can also look back into the plan of having a supercharged 16v , anybody know the work involved ???

Well 4 years of work over,really pleased with work as now immaculate in every way Question is now to sell or not to sell Anyone any idea what she is worth now with all this work done , in brief full vw history , full engine rebuild with 're-con 2l Audi bottom end and 're-con kr top end , full retrim inside Inc headlining door cards etc, all new suspension,brakes,bushes,everything really it's like a new car !! It's an 89 so quite an early one and now far to good for trackday s which is what I intended it for , just got a bit carried away . Have centre caps for wheels they are just off as I was still playing around with suspension in photos, think it sits so nice now !

ending up going back to a vr, gets delivered monday, was looking for a decent 1.8 valver for 6 months and nothing came up close enough for me, pity as i have a stripped and overbored 9a sitting painted in the garage! re more power for the valvers do some searching on here, a few options - 2ltr bottom end, wilder cams either shrick or even a modded exhaust cam used as an inlet, gasflowed or fully ported and polished head, and a four branch manifold unfortunately eeecking the last bit of power out of valvers doesn't come cheap yeah i would have liked a vr but all the ones i saw were big money . so the 9a engine , is that the 2lt one and is this more powefull than the kr . was even thinking about a vr conversion just need to look into it a bit more as dont know difficulty , cost etc . take it there will be a couple of pics of urs on here tuesday then.....

had a prob when it was being driven really hard on track that some oil used to get sucked up by the breather and as this runs straight though the air box a bit of oil would end up over the air filter , it was never alot as since ive had it the way it is now its prob not even a thimble full but once its in the air box it goes everywhere , breathing was always a prob on early vws anyway so this dosent restict it as much even though it does look a bit guff you do have to be driving very hard for this to happen though and wouldnt have thought ud get it happening on the road

yeh it is, was close to contacting you about it, not had much to look at round this way - but i'm all sorted now :D what did you end up getting dude ????

hi all , right as definatly keeping this one i could use some advice about adding a bit more go to the old girl . engine is in really heathy condition as had all this apart when bought it and have replaced all gaskets and belts etc , its a 1.8 16v ( are the later 2.0l ones quicker) with 50mminlet manifold and kr head, cams , has a full stainless exhaust and a mocal oil cooler and thats about it as far as improvements go so all advice to ad some more power would be great . or should i just buy a g60 !!! at least i would have that whine from the charger with one of them , only thing that whines on mine is the gearbox :lol: . also what is the deal with strut braces on these , handles well with the coil overs but dont know wether its worth going down the strut brace route on a road car . and last thing i promise (for now anyway) is poly bushing the rear eam an easy job ?? gonna drive it for another month then its going in garage to be tidyed up a bit more and poss stripped for track work????????????????? . ill post more pics once work starts

glad ur all liking the black wheels , first thing i did was get them off and painted , think its becoming an addiction though , even my van wheels have had the treatment . to the person that thought it was on piston heads you were right (think its still on there as it goes ) was still going though my owned it for three months and i must change it stage!!!! here to stay now though (i think)

based in essex area , any more out there round here?????

cheers bud ,still needs a tiny bit of tidying but prob just being fussy . are there any meets etc thoughout the year , would like to see a few more as dont see too many about now

hello all , well here is the first corrado and think this might be a keeper ( never really kept cars for longer than a few months before ) had this for about five months now and spent the first couple tidying the old girl up and putting my own touch on it . initually it was bought to use as a track car(still might be) but now wondering what to do with it . dont think i want to do the whole stripping it out thing as its really tidy and everything electric works and actually everything works in general so seems a bit harsh to pull it to bits. so as im prob keeping thought id join this site and maybe get a few ideas for it so all ideas would be appriciated ............. can see why they are so popular with you fellas as they really are a great drive and handle superbly . and you have got to love that rear spoiler!!!!!!!!! so hear are a few pics so let me know what to do with it ... thanks chaps
