7 weeks off, ill drop it off saturday then pm me when its tax n tested :-)

James: Ney but gerrin bits fo gerri dun cock. I invite all to a putting together corrado tea party at my mums house, all wishing to attend register via PM!!!!

ill will hopefully have the rado in one piece and road legal for this. I wonder if i get free entry being a National Trust employee as its a NT property!?

Spotted two this weekend, a blue one in ulverston on friday and nice red one with a bra heading into keswick yesterday. i was in my goof so probably looked like a fool waving at you!

interesting, goin to do some maths on this!

Its a wild place that Wasdale, good luck to you all

Anybody know if there is an 'of the shelf' roll cage available for a corrado, or does it have to be an overpriced custom job?

Where you starting scarfell from. Meet loads of people at work training to do this and they recon it the driving that does people in

A lad on hear called Pilky owned it abou 18 month ago, but it changed hands a few times since then!

Its had its highs and lows owning the C but I always puts a smile on my face, cant wait to get it back together and back on the road/track. Hope to get it back to the ring soon but maybe not melt a piston this time! Although it was a bummer at the time, the repair bill was considerably less than the return petrol bill. More news, the megan sport wasnt all that sporty and the tax was running out so i sold it, in favour of a nice 8v mk3 Gti. 40mpg, Gti power, no rust, service history, tax n test for less than £500 not the quickest gti in the world but it gets me to work and back!

Morning Campers. well it was the girlfriends birthday last week so we hired this owd bit of tin! Now i have returned from the 1960's, maybe i should finish my corrado!

A dark coloured C, unsure of flavour hooning it up the M6 north bound just before j36 about 9 last night. I gave you a flash and a wave as you passed, i was in the mk3 gti on an eco run!

James......next time give us a ring before you attempt to tackle any brambles! looks like a wanted poster

was going to say your grass needs cutting, the carriers look good though. at my mums saturday so might pop round n say hello

Bit of an impuls buy james.... it has a fiberglass front end, think the original disolved, but still there is something not quite rite upfront! The underside dont look to rotten but sure it will be like a gregs pasty when i start to dig, just like the scuttle and rear valance. at the price it was worth a punt, plus im running out of mountains to climb so need somethin to fill my time up hear Anyway, who needs to weld when you got gaffa tape.....

Last week i whent to look at a house and outside was parked this little number. I enquired about what they were doing it when they move and the ladies reply implied that she wasnt a fan of her husbands pride and joy. it was upon this answer i decided i needed another project in my life and set about organising delivery. i was in luck, it became apparent that the gent from next door had seen enough of peering over this little gem and delivered it free of charge. so for around the same price as a good curry i have become the proud owner of a british icon, maybe not the straightest example but there is potential! Yes there is the odd aerodynamic tweek and ventilation holes but it wouldnt be a project without them.

Good effort, cant wait to get mine back on the road

Something like that!!! not sure how it goes back together.

I might be goin but wont be in the rado :(

Some quality install The handbrake bracket, no wonder it was crap! Back to rest thats all for now

Glad im not the only one somne pics from oulton last year! Devilmat some G55's im goin oulton and croft this year, can beat a good days racing!

BTCC, who follows it?

Judging by the quality of his soldering, of whch there was non i would suggest stupidity! ill be back next weekend for a wedding........the joys.

After many moons in the safty of the garage, i started the old girl up saturday, first turn of the key she sprung to life. i turned it off while i opend the garage up, not a simple task due to its lack or working components. once the door was propped open on a handy piece of scafholdin i go to fire her up and drive her only for the battery to die, not to worry james was on hand to giv us a shove. once outside, i empty her of my large collection of bumpers spare engine part so that dash removal can comence. James had offered and experianced hand so i bit it off and after a couple of hours pullin pushin swearin and a brew the dash came out. what lay beneath was some quality audio install (not) and an arial from a montego living under the dash which explains the poor signal! the matrix was now exposed but neither of us had a clue how to remove it, a quick search of google spread some light on the situation. a 10mm bolt in the bowels of the engine bay that can only be reached by a spanner put an end to our productive day as my spanners seem to have transfered to my brother tool box and vanished since i last used them! after a quick charge the car fired up and was reversed back into its nest, with enthusiasum restored i look forward to returning to her next weekend when i shall mount the intercooler, rad and start chopping bumpers to make it look like a car agian. ill try and add some images soon cheers again james

wouldnt happen to be attached to one of my many spare bumpers would it?
