Stan 24v 0 Posted April 8, 2010 Dave? Thats one clean car you've found! Yes Gareth, its David!! Formerly known as 692 DPG to those who recognise the user from various VW forms of life ;) Dave you are a tease!! And also lacking forum manners by not explaining how you came across such a motor and also what youve done to it already to add to the fact it was so clean when you found it in that old barn ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And also lacking forum manners by not explaining how you came across such a motor and also what youve done to it already to add to the fact it was so clean when you found it in that old barn ;) Ok Stan you caught me out! The story goes........... While off getting my Golf track car 4 wheel aligned for the Ring I went to a garage near home to enquire and while I was there the owner said 'Do you like VWs? I've got one out back if you're interested.' Obviously being a bit of a Dub fan I repiled 'Yes'. So when I saw the little old C with 44K on the clock needing a bit of TLC I had to take it home - well you would wouldn't you? So I raided my piggy bank, handed over £1200 of Her Maj's finest and set of gently cleaning and restoring. I had the bumpers painted to remove a few scuffs and a rust bubble on the tailgate sorted but other than that its clean - not a single bit of rust under the arches at all. Followed by getting the Sebrings refurbed at WRC in Preston and wrapping the in matching rubber. I know the boot thing is a bit an*l but living only 10 miles from Gareth its catching!! have I confessed enough Stan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRado 0 Posted April 9, 2010 Dave? Thats one clean car you've found! Yes Gareth - it is I. How long did you think it would last before I got bored? - I have 2 daughters and the garage is the only safe place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted April 9, 2010 Hi Dave, good to have you on here with a stunning looking Corrado :wave: Looks like a very rare find indeed, low mileage, beautiful condition and a baragain to boot. Would love to have a look at it sometime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted April 9, 2010 44k! Really pleased it's gone to someone who'll look after it. I just love how good an original tidy 16v looks on a fresh set of Sebrings.. fantastic stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted April 9, 2010 it doesnt deserve the 'FKD' numberplate thats for sure!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRado 0 Posted April 11, 2010 it doesnt deserve the 'FKD' numberplate thats for sure!! You're right there but it could easily have gone to someone who who would have 'FKD' it up. I'm glad I found it and have been able to slowly bring it back to useable order having been sitting unused for nearly a year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
