gaz205t 42 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi my name is Garry, just became a member of the forum. I live beside Laurencekirk between Aberdeen and Dundee. I am not a mechanic but like to tinker with things. I had wanted a Corrado for a long time before Buying my one in December of 2012. I bought it from a friend who bought it from a lad who really looked after it. It turns out he had taken it to bits to change the heater matrix but unfortunately was unable or just gave up on putting it back together again. Never done one but it dose look a bit donting. Anyway due to the car being in the state it was he got it pretty cheap, put it together and put it in storage. I bought it for £1500, tested it and ran it for a year. I love the way these cars drive and how comfortable they are. It has alway had to be the VR6 motor after hearing one rip away when I was a youngster. I remember thinking what the hell has he put in that thing. Soon found out it was the VR motor. As you can see the car needs a bit of loving. There's a few bubbles, stone chips and wheels could be doing with a refurbish. The inside, apart from needing a good clean and Hoover, is in good condition. The owner before my friend stitched seat covers to the seats! Haha. Unfortunately there are holes in the dash where someone has had a mobile phone holder or something alike. My plans for the car are to look over and do any M.O.T repairs then get it tested. Once tested I intend on turboing it. I plan on writing a build thread when doing so. Here are a few pics of the car. There not very good but will put up better ones. Thanks for looking. Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
