* Standard GTi 9 spoke "trantula" alloys (all in good nick, have been repainted at some point)
* Original GTi stripes along seals
* Original 'duckbill' front splitter

Interior

** Most interior bits I list have been sourced second hand in very good conidtion **

* Green stripe GTi interior, drivers bolster has worn through (whos hasn't?) rest is good, would benefit from a clean
* Proper boot carpet
* Good parcel shelf and supports
* Good orginal door pockets with chrome trim

* Speakers in rear doors (not wired in, was going to get new door cards to replace them)

Chasis

* Lowered 60mm (unknown springs) on standard shocks, very nice ride

Engine

** Please see 'Recent work' for more engine info **

* TSR polished inlet plenum (matched for Audi TB)
* Audi throttle body (not yet fitted)
* Supersprint S/S exhaust manifold
* Nearly new GSF middle exhaust section

Bad bits

* Engine a bit tappety (not a difficult job really)
* Idles a bit lumpy
* Clutch slips if pushed hard in 3rd and 4th gear, maybe just the cable needs adjusting
* A few rust bubbles here and there but nothing broken through paint
* Oil warning buzzer comes on over 2k rpm which is due to a bad earth behind the dash (if you hit the top of the dash it turns off)
* Previous owner cut out the rear valance to fit an aftermarket exhaust (have new replacement panel to fit)

Spares

** I have a few spares around can't think of them all at the moment **

* A set of 4 Revolution 4 spoke alloys (with conversion studs and hub centric spacers to clear calipers)
* Standard inlet plenum
* Power ROHR pipe
* Spare oil pressure switch

!! 2.0 16v 9A engine almost ready for conversion !!

** Pretty much ready for putting into the car, I was going to buy all new bolt on parts but I guess you wouldn't need to do that **

* Recently purchased 2.0 16v 9A engine from a 91 Passat done 109k
* Supersprint full conversion exhaust system (manifold, downpipe, middle section, connection section, backbox) brand new (cost near ?600) !!
* Blocked stripped and inspected, everything is perfect (no wear on the bores at all!)
* Blocked has been painted ready to fit
* Head pressure test done, 2 valves are sticking open slightly due to carbon build up
* Head has been partly stripped (cams removed) ready to be cleaned then lapped back in (have grinding stick and lapping paste)
* ECU, gearbox, clutch, flywheel, driveshafts all included

Reason for selling - I bought this car because ever since I've been into dubs (about 7 years now) I've wanted a MK1. I've now been faced with reality and the fact is I can't afford nor have the time to make the car how I have invisiged it in my head. One day when I'm in a better position I will buy another one.

I will need a car to replace this one, I'm looking for a 2.0 16v Corrado, anything but green (owned several green cars) FSH or good history a must, not too high mileage (110k max) modified or standard (would be nice to get one with a decent set of wheels and lowered suspension) I'm will to do a straight PX or cash either way.

Pictures

** Pictures were taken when I first got the car, a few things have changed since then I will get new pictures up at the weekend if the weather is good**

I hope that covers everything, if you do have any Q's please don't hesitate to contact me I'll do my best to help.

Thanks for looking

Adrian

Just thought I'd add that I am open to offers and I don't really want to split any of it yet but I might consider splitting if I get no interest as 1 lump

hi mate, what do you want just for the complete 9a?? not with the exhaust system?

cheers
