jc_boc's new wip! Not SEAT but still VAG. CORRADO!!!

CAL LOOK 58

Guest
Had a couple of Corrado's, love them and always promised myself a VR6 one day........
My last one was a high mileage (180k!) but well looked after 9a, after a decat (original had collapsed) I couldn't believe how well it went. :)
Liking the look of yours, maybe ditch the current alloys and go for a set of 1 piece BBS G60's?

Nice jc always had a soft spot for a corrado!

Thanks mate. It is just a cheap runaround for now. Will sell it at the end of the year and get something new again in the new year. Am loving it though.

Yeah mine is on 174K but she still runs sweet as a nut. Spending a few pennings getting her up to my high standard as many on here know, I like to take VERY good care of my cars but I must admit, with this car being so low my back is taking a pounding climbing in and out of it lol. I am 38 after all and feeling even older lately for some strange reason. I would love a G60 one day as a week-end toy/long term resto project. For this reason alone I am not changing the wheels as I see that as a waste of money I don't have right now.

Not a massive update but I finally have working side indicators! Removed arch liner to thankfully find the wires just hanging there. Amazes me how some people look after a car. Also changed the white lenses for smoked ones so it looks a little more stealth.

So all that is left to do now is coillies and accellerator cable. Looking like I may need to replace wishbones too as they are looking worse for wear and the bushes also look shoddy. Later though as I need to remove my door card again too. Window is catching somewhere when it comes down and I think I know what it is.
