Cheers folks. We've already hit a snag. On the way out it started misfiring badly and after a vag com session it looks to be a coil pack. I am literally writing this in the queue at Euro Car Parts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Little update today, decals arrived! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The E38 was a pretty sickly motor. Engine was solid as you'd expect but the body was very corroded and the fuel tank rotted through. I sold it to a fellow Corrado forum member, who drove it to the Nuremberg ring and back.....sadly it died in Birmingham city centre RIP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right folks, just 4 sleeps now until I embark on the epic TWIN TOWNS CHALLENGE as team ROADHAWKS http://www.twintown16.co.uk/ We've been busy behind the scenes and we now have our blog up with progress on our £500 car to track Demon tranformation https://atomhawk.wordpress.com/ Last time be did this event in 2014 in a 728i BMW but this time we were lucky enough to score a non runner Octavia VRS for £500. The car was overall very good and worth a lot more than that, but it had developed an electrical fault preventing it from starting just a couple of days before the MOT ran out. So the owner decided to cut his loses and buy a new car and put this up for sale on the forum, late last year. A deal was done and we had it towed home to Newcastle. It turned out that the car's ECU had failed due to water ingress caused by a badly fitting rain tray under, a new ECU, a track rod end and a couple of brake pipes later and we had a running car with a fresh 12 months MOT!

Pics don't work for me but do you have shifter cables? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
