John Blount 11 Posted February 6, 2016 Hi everyone, Really proud to finally be an owner of one of these great cars, I was very lucky and managed to find one that had been garaged for 11 years and not used at all in that time so it's absolutely rock solid and in great condition for 21 years old.. I'm lucky in the fact that I tend to go a little OTT when i fancy doing stuff and the wife's totally on board so I've got a proper two post ramp and VCDS and a garage full of tools If anyone ever needs some help a ramp or VCDS and your around my area please feel free to let me know as it would be great to meet up with other Corrado owners.

John Blount 11 Posted February 6, 2016 It's a 1995 M plate in LC6U green ( I think that's the right paint code) it's got full black leather with heated seats, it's even got the original matts front and back and the sunroof works! I've done loads to it since I got in in November, it's had all new fluids, brake callipers, disks and pads all round. A full service with new spark plugs, leads and a coil pack as it had got a big split in the side of it. The throttle body and Maff have been off and cleaned and I also changed the sump and gasket as it was "weeping" a bit. The idle's not brilliant on it at the minute but I'm working on that and it's being Terra Cleaned next Saturday so hopefully that will clean the injectors. The front fogs were completely gone due to the heat so I have changed them for the JOM ones you can buy from Germany and there absolutely brilliant and well worth the money. The paints a little tired where it's just been left with years of dust on it and the garage it was in was only small so it's been knocked a bit, from a distance it looks immaculate but within a meter you can tell so I had someone out Thursday so price up to paint it which I'll have done in July/August time. The forum is really good as I like reading and it tells you where to look for problems, one I found was where dirt gets trapped behind the fuel filler neck and corrodes the body out. I've taken the fuel tank out (really quite easy) and cleaned POR 15 any rust, stone chipped and repainted all the wheel arches in the original body colour, looks brand new but without the forum I wouldn't know where to look. I've also changed the suspension to coil overs as the originals were as rusty as hell plus is lowered the car just that bit. Really enjoying the challenge.. Sorry going on a bit now.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted February 6, 2016 Good progress buddy and get the pics up. I've still to clean and wax the wheel arches etc and my brakes are all getting replaced too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Blount 11 Posted February 6, 2016 I tend to go a bit OTT as I've had all the plastic liners off cleaned, repainted and lacquered them. To aid getting them off in the future I've also replaced all the fixings with stainless ones so it won't take a week to get them off again. Really impressed how these cars are put together as with it being German everything (to now that is) is so logical in the way it comes off and is refitted.
