thecorradokid 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks guys!! ive put just under 500miles on her already. and shes been in the garage and had all new brakes all round. Going back in again soon for some service work. I was told that she is clean and solid underneath which is good, and apprently the suspention is like new! Plus theres a stainless system under there which i didnt even know about! lol! Just ordered some basic bits on Ebay, aero blades, uprated headlight bulbs, and i went to the brakers that you guys have listed on here in Chelmsford this morning and picked up a new parcel shelf, coz the one in there had 6x9s cut into it which just looks terrible in my opinion! Each to there own i spose! lol Still need to find: Door speaker covers a single door pin A Drivers side indicator cover And I would like to either buy a new drivers seat, if i cant find a matching one, a whole set of seats. or just get this drivers seat re covered. The bolster is worn through and it wrecks the look of the inside which is other wise spot on! :help: (IF ANYONE HAS ANY OF THESE BITS OR CAN HELP ME FIND THEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! ) :help: Not gonna make this a mental street machine or anything, Just i want it SPOTLESSLY tidy! and maybe a drop and some new rims in the spring time more later! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted January 19, 2011 Welcome to corrado ownership, you really got my hopes up when i first opened the thread. My old rado, which i think has been scrapped, reg plate started g989*** Glad to hear you are looking after a rado, i always find it more rewarding buying a car that needs work then admiring the accomplishment at the end!
