I went to a local scrapyard a few days ago and spotted a Corrado
what parts are worth getting from it for a Golf?
I'm thinking the front seats if I can have them for a reasonable price, anything else that's a pretty easy swap (yes I would like the G60 engine but don't have the time/knowledge/patience/garage damnit!)

G60 brakes?
Gotta love the G60 engine. Hate to think of one wasting away in a scrapyard.
-
ah right, all my disks and pads have been new in the last 12 months so I think I'll probably leave them
thanks
-
At least grab them to sell. Worth a few bob. :tongue:
-
i'd have them off ya :tongue: :tongue:
hub's brakes the lot :)
-
dashboard?
-
seats
some of the switches
headlamps / slam panel / grile for a ghetto rallye front
get the engine and box and charger out if its a g60 and sell them on the forums :wink:
bigger brakes

take as much as you can carry, add 50% scene tax to what you paid and sell it all on E38 forums :lipsrsealed:

too true. if it is a g60 like you sy i would actually be in there removing the engine with my bare hands!

I'll take the brake servo and master cylinder off you if you get em :wink:

trim always fetches good money on rado forums, electric mirror setup fits right into a mk2 except of course the actual mirrors and glass. if it has electric windows the 1 touch loom and control unit will also fit a mk2, and is a nice touch. Not the regualtors though, you wire the rado loom to the mk2 golf window regualtors :)
only issue is if its a later one the switches arnt so easy to fit, the early ones you hack a square hole in de dorrcard and they pop right in. later ones arnt so good a fit in a dorrcard
-
i never knew that, think ill be treating my mk2 golf to leccy mirrors from my recent corrado purchase
-
passat stuff also works, the switch is a different shape to a mk2 but electrically its the same. the motors from inside the mirrors on passat/rado fit mk2 housings, so the onlyt bt you wont have is the heated glass! I managed to find a geeza on ebay who sold pads that stick on the back of the glass, I needed one as my passenger glass was on the ropey side!
You need to peel off the plastic backing from the glass and insert the pad then stick the backing back on. My method was to place the glass face down on a flat surface to support it, then pull on the plastic bit gently till it pops off. hold the glass flat down as you do this to stop it bending otherwise it'll crack.
I found it works just as well as my genuine driver side glass :)
