honestly jambo, i don't mind doing it, am sat around doing not a lot, and have to go outside to smoke, so do it on breaks

all the new parts only came to £34.

its not why people lease cars, people lease cars as they are useless.

i might have it on the road and it overheat and blow up in the 1st week or it could last a whole year and do 17,000 miles in that time, like the fiat i had.

if i lose £200-300, then so be it. its not like the corrado is depriciating

Some new style number plates would make a helluva difference, fair play if it's a cheap + cheerful runabout though.

Any chance you could turn this into a track car? Could maybe keep pace with Willays Astra if you fit coilovers, LSD, RARB, strip it out, lower final drive, plastic windows and R888

Go on Jim, come to Germany in it and be a man and enter the halls of men of men.

got it taxed now and used it for work today, its a good car tbh. The misfire hasn't been noticable, might of just needed a blast. Gets up to 70mph with no stress and happily sits there, am pleased with it £150 = bargain

And some pics of escorts on a truck for you all
