If you're seriously interested in buying, might be worth taking a look at THE Corrado Forum • Index page under cars for sale. There are usually a selection ranging from cheap and cheerful to mint examples with price tags to match....

| Re: Project Corrado More progress over the past couple of weeks. Some heavy duty castor wheels from Screwfix (£14.99), a few lengths of timber from Wickes (£15) plus a few screw and a home made trolley to simply wheel the engine out of the bay; priceless!  And for a bit of fun, why not a longitudinally mounted engine? Looks so much better in there than transverse. Now there’s an idea  ; straight six out of a Bemmer driving the rear wheels; stop dreaming well beyond my capabilities….

| Re: Project Corrado Meanwhile, various bits have started to be purchased such as new control arms, bolts, clamps and other shiny bits and non more so than this:   50 mm intake manifold, smoothed and chrome plated! What seemed to start as respray and clean up in the original colour is evolving into what I hope is going to be a show car standard Corrado, with a “cleaned” bay and plenty of chrome. I think I’ve also decided on a respray colour too. Will be studying the various VWs closely at this coming weekend’s GTI International to get ideas and inspiration to carry the project forward!

| Re: Project Corrado Been a bit quiet on the posting front, but I've been managing to spend around 5 to 10 hours a week in the garage with the 'Rado. Work continues on the engine bay, where I'm going for the cleaned look!. One aspect of this is hidden wiring harnesses and as part of this operation, the dash board has been ousted to get full access to the looms either side of the bulkhead. I've picked up a secondhand engine bay loom from the Corrado forum ready to splice in and extend. Will keep up posted. In the meantime, someone's pinched the stereo!
