Description:

Hello,

 

Bought this Corrado as a project but ive just got a new job which means more hours away from home and a company car so unfortunately im not going to have time to complete it!

 

The Pros:

 

NO RUST!

 

The paint and bodywork is excellent, no bubbles and no rust so a very solid base too work with. of boy

 

There is a full stainless steel exhaust system going from the downpipe to the back box, im unsure of the make but it makes a really nice subtle sound, not chavy or boy racer ish at all.

 

It comes with coilover suspension which is fully height adjustable, again unsure of make and provides a firm ride (im not a massive fan of coilovers due to the stiffness they provide and the ride is very firm indeed)

 

Engine runs very nicely, during the short period of time i have owned the car ive cleaned out the throttle body and cleaned all the vaccum hoses, lubed everything up, just basically making sure everything runs as well as it possibly can and i seem to have done a good job as the engine really does run well. Its reliable starts when i ask it too and theres no knocks, bangs etc its also only got 136,000 on the clock which for a corrado these days seems to be pretty good!

 

Electrics all work, spoiler works both automatically and manually and the car comes with a sony head unit and some 6x9's which again arent too over the top but provide a bit of bass boost and a bit more volume.

 

4 good toyo tyres, and vw alloy wheels no kerbing, there all straight and as they should be.

 

The brakes are very good, drilled and grooved discs which provide more than enough stopping power.

 

The cons:

 

The ride really is firm from the coilovers which as ive mentioned im not a massive fan of.

 

The interior is a bit scruffy, nothing too bad (apart from a small patch on the drivers seat) but the seats could do with a hoover or a shampoo.

 

Could do with some new top mounts in the near future (these arent expensive or hard to fit, ive just been too busy trying to get this new job!)

 

Power steering feels a little heavy, not sure if the pump needs bleeding or just needs to be topped up, i just havent had the time to do any of these little jobs.

 

In summary:

 

Great solid base to build up from, the car runs and pulls very well, all works as it should just needs someone to pay it a little more attention than i can give it. This could make a very impressive car indeed.

 

I have been very honest with the description and the price reflects the little bits and bobs i have mentioned.

 

Also cash on collection, sold as seen although dont take that too mean anything negative, mot'ed until October but tax runs out at the end of the month im afraid. Any questions please feel free to drop me an email and ill get back to you as quickly as possible.
