Whilst the axle beam was out I took the opportunity of fitting my...
Got the front end back together at last. Had a look at the back axle and decided that it would be cool to do the same to that. So front end is on and back end is now off!!

Thats an article I havent seen before!
Funny thing is the faults he mentioned arent just the ones that I and most Corrado owners know about.
Luckily my rear spoiler still comes up at 100kph :) but...

Mate,
I have got my VR6 Storm registered here now after brining her in as a personal import, so if you need any advice or help let me know. She is a RHD so a bit easier.

Good luck with the rebuild and if you think I might have any info that can help then just...
