Decided not to bother getting a land rover or another car. Need to get only a few more bits and will have a nice new engine soon. Long live the corrado.

Yeah they had two of them left. I missed the first one by a few hours. A guy on corrado forum bought them both and sold the one he didn't want. Then a while later changed his plans and I bought his one.
Got loads of other stuff already. Just need a 2.8 block to get bored out and the timing chain gear and some lifters. Sellingthe schimmel cams and just rebuilding as a standard engine Got rid of the noisy bmc air filter as well.

Seems a waste of money. Could have bought a half decent push bike for that.

Already got a decent bike. Need to sort the brakes out on that. Was thinking of buying the avid bleeding kit and some new pads. Also need a new lizard skin.
I think the corrado has been a wise choice really. Prices are slowly going back up now. Been a few features out mentioning corrados as a good classic to buy now if you can find a good one. It's not silly money ive spent. . 225,000miles on it now and i've done nearly 100k of that.
I'd like to see you do that in a superceeded bmw and it be in better condition than when you started and you would still enjoy driving it and it be worth more than £1000. Won't happen. You have wasted your money imo.
Thanks for reading.

Do you keep grass where the horn should be?
Type of car a stoner or a paedophile Geography teacher would drive. Bet it stinks of Wotsits.

I'd much rather have my BMW. Comfier, practical and a lot faster than an old vw.

No I just think the front end looks sad. I bet you have the same look on your face.

Looks well kept Jim, but I agree with Nic that it looks ever so sad

I think its really shows off the colour and some of the lines, getting rear end raised up a little soon. Ditched the coilovers so now on koni shocks and H&R springs.
