Andy's 16v Corrado (finally back in a Golf)

[leeroy20vt]

not bad at all m8 looks sweet cnat beat that for a tenner and bolster looks like its in good nick to 

[Andy-H]

Yeah, the bolster is tons better than the current one Mate. This one also has the tilt lever and surround on it as well 

I'll take some pics of the old seat in tomorrow before I take it out so you can see the difference.

The price was good as well, only took the guy 15mins and he also got a brew out of it as well  . just goes to show that it sometimes isn't worth trying yourself, get one of the guys on here (if they live close enough to you  :embarassed:) to give you a price. You could be pleasantly surprised  . By this guy doing it I have saved the price of the vac hire, brush and solution 

Window motor hasn't turned up today so I guess that will arrive on Monday but to be honest, I'm not looking forward to doing it  looks a bit fiddly.

[leeroy20vt]

window motor cant be that hard can it ? lol typical i done my passenger side handle wednesday night all good i thought wasnt to bad to do then the head gasket goes  mayby should had left it alone 

well ul be pleased to know il prob fix engine but still break the raddo but have my eye on a vr6 the purpley colour one pretty cheap to but for now i will tax the twin 40s lol 

[Andy-H]

That's bad news Mate  Shame to lose another Corrado.

Those Blackberry corrado's are a really nice colour  and the VR6 noise  . Would have gone for one mesen if I wasn't such a tight arse and refuse to give Mr. Brown all me hard earned in fuel tax 


At least you're keeping one of those nice motors you have Mate, I really like that black motor of yours 

[leeroy20vt]

well black one still up for sale so not keeping that

the red raddo is nice but pics do do it justice lol

as for the vr6 i love the noise but will mainly be used as a weekend car i need a van to get dogs in ect lol

urs is getting there nicly m8 fingers crossed ul get there soon lol its a never ending battle the older cars

[Andy-H]

It is Mate thanks, but that, to me is the whole point of having one 

Every week, probably nothing to anyone else, I find something that I need to do to it. Sometimes it pi$$es me off but I leave it for a while, go back a while later and sort it. At that point all is well again 

Get yersen the VR6 and stick a LPG conversion in it and happy days 

Still not sorted the feckin' wheel refurb  :embarassed:

[Andy-H]

Well, this morning has seen the new drivers seat in it 

I took this one out.........




And put this one in........





Anyone want a free Corrado drivers seat, good condition apart from needing new foam in it 

OK, I'll wait for the skip man next week  :embarassed:

[leeroy20vt]

looking better dude 

bet it more comfortable now

[Andy-H]

Like you're sat in a different motor Mate 

As usual, the Corrado gremlins struck again .....it seems that every time I sort summat, another thing rears it's ugly head  .

This time it was a fuse holder in the alarm system wiring that had decided to break internally and fugged up the central locking. Just a 5 minute fix but about an hour finding the fecker

In all seriousness I'd be confident someone will buy that.

Corrado seats are the lowest of the low, so it may be someone will re-trim it and give it a whole 'nother life.
