Swompy 0 Posted May 1, 2017 Well ladies and gentalmen it has been a while but I am now back into the addiction that is corrado ownership :cheers: Picked up a 1992 VR6 from Mark aka Wardyblade earlier today from Dronfield. Inittialy had Vag-Hag check the car out for me as it was 100+miles away. After Chris gave me fantastic feedback with loads of information about the car I made the decising to go up and view the car myself with the potential of buying it. And as you can all see I came away as the new owner. Its a 1992 VR6 in Moonlight blue, has done 133k miles and 10 years ago (50k miles) it had an engine rebuild which was completed by Stealth Raceing. Its an early VR6 so has an early interior and late exterior with a working sunroof. How I've missed owning a car with a sunroof. I have a folder rammed full of recipts and a log book that has every single stamp space filled, will need to get a new log book after the next service. It has a couple of body work issues but its something youd expect with a car of this age. So going to focuse on getting them sorted first as the car itself is mechanically sound. Any way enough talking heres some photos [ATTACH=CONFIG]86162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]86165[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]86168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]86171[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]86174[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]86177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]86180[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
