Without meaning to clutter your gallery Fay, I'd be up for it too! Again, I'd need some better stopping power and a reasonable set of tyres though. I think Christine would wanna sit in the passenger seat which would add extra weight though, and I'd wanna keep going out to try and beat the previous time.................... it could get soooo addictive!

Would you be willing to split that down a little? All I need are the bits mentioned above and it would cut down alot of postage. The handbrake cover isnt mentioned or pictured on the ebay advert either.

Do you have the handbrake lever cover still? If so how much posted bud? ---------- Post added at 7:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 7:07 AM ---------- Do you have the handrake cover and gear gaitor and knob mate? If so, how much posted?

Looks excellent! May as well get the subframe off and and painted up/powdercoated whilst your at it! I do like a nice clean and fresh bay, I will get onto mine at some point..........

Sorry Fay, I linked in the wrong post. :bonk: I meant this one.................

I'd be up for a set too as mine are looking very brittle, and I'll need to start preparing for next years respray soon!

Is it luminous pink??? :camp:

For early VR I believe you need the sealant for the fibre gasket. The later rubber gaskets are not required though. VW want £45 for the rubber gasket, so I went with an elring one from cp4l for around £15 iirc.

He had six of mine. I paid £20 for them which I thought again was a bit steep, but its the first time I've been round a track so had to get it! A couple of them were very light and over exposed, and he burned it by mistake, but he photoshopped them and burned that one onto disk and gave them both to me.

Thanks for the offer Stu, I've already paid for them off Emu though mate. Thanks again!

Excellent, thanks James. I'll take one in black then please.

Thanks to everyone who made mine and the wifes first Corrado meet so memerable! Special thanks to Judith who made Christine so at ease and involved, Ian who gave us a lot of his time, and James (Clumpy) who engaged us in some good banter! (So sorry the missus though Killi was in Wales!:bonk: Here are a couple of camera phone pics, and I'll link in a hilareous vid I'm putting on youtube of the parade lap!

Just to remind me, does this include the surround, and how does it secure into the tunnel?

Looks excellent! Look forward to comparing it to a not so good one tomorrow, and hopefully getting some inspiration!

Drove up to the folks place in Bristol, longest drive since I've owned it, and I should never have considered doubting her making it! Didn't miss a beat! And just gave the car a quick wash ready for tomorrow!

Yeah I'll go for that then please mate. PM me your details and and I'll get it across. Thanks! :thumbleft:

Isn't it supposed to be "Nee bother"! :lol:

I had an MG6 as a courtesy car after the old Rado was written off! Honestly the build quality was worse than the Pug 307 I ashamedly owned a few years ago!

:tumbleweed:

As title guys, some of you may have seen my members gallery and can see that mine is pretty fubar! I know it may be a little late, but if anyone going to National Day on Saturday has one and wouldn't mind bringing it with them, I can pick it up from there ideally. Obviously above is preferable, but if no one thats going has one or both available, I'll take them from anyone else offering with postage if too far away to collect. Thanks all, Sean.

Sorry if I offended anyone, I didn't mean it like that. Its not just being able to invest in the upkeep from a monetary point of view is what I meant. Some can afford to pay people to do work, some can't so learn to do all relevant work themselves. Others can't afford to pay garage fees as well as having an inability to carry out work themselves either due to lack of confidence, or don't have the time or inclination to try it. The latter causes cars to run into disrepair.

I actually kind of agree with it tbh. It's the fact that parts are not cheap, and a car of this vintage ALWAYS requires mechanical work that some just don't have the knowledge to do themselves. Take me for example, I earn what is actually a very good wage, but I also have very high outgoings. I don't have a large amount of money to plough into the car, but if (and when!) problems occur with mine, I'm safe in the knowledge that I could diagnose and fix the problems myself. (With a little help from the forum obviously!). I bought mine from such a person as above, when the car was an absolute stinker and he had run out of ideas and money, and turned it into a car thats now (or will shortly be) mechanically sound and just a bit rough around the edges. I've spent very little getting it to this stage though, but thats simply because I'm confident to get stuck in and do the work required. Those that allow them to run into neglect, just either don't have the money, time, or enthusiasm to give a car like this the money, time, or enthusiasm most of us here think it deserves. The fact its such a low outlay, for what gets you a cracking looking car that has alot of respect from most, and has reasonably decent performance compared to anything similar, is what will continue to make those that just don't realise you have to plough money, time, and enthusiasm into the car to buy them.

Even so, I'm not sure I'd spend that on a basic 2.0 Valver with no extas (leather etc). Its not alot of car for that sort of money, and tbh a car that old with low mileage, without absolutely bucket loads of history (no mention on the ad) could also end up a bit of a money pit even if it does look very clean outwardly.

PMd buddy, thanks!

Where do you get your interior parts trimmed? Looks like a very good job, and I'm gonna be doing mine in the next 6 weeks so need to find a place not too far away hopefully. I've been pointed in the direction of Trim Deluxe but was also looking for other options too.
