Good point. We are looking for any old project tbh. I'm probably more interested in this than my son ha ha. I guess I'd like to keep it as a g60 so long as it is made up to look like a stock g60. Perhaps it's not that important for the price. I'm just wanting to know what other people would do. Like you say though. The g60 would be ideal to fund the rest of it and would be a lot cheaper to insure once he's driving lol.

Of course.... ;)

Cheers Andy Apparently the engine is running but electrical fault so should be relatively simple to fix. It has a green stamp on supercharger to say it was reconditioned but no paperwork to say when. Also he has loads of bits for it inc the proper seats, new headlights, fog lights, original wheels as well as the black alloys on it so there is a lot of bits already for it. I was totally sold on it until he said about the log book. I guess I'm old school and things like that bother me but really for £200. It's prob easy worth it just as a 1.8! The g60 engine has gotta be worth that alone I suppose.

Hi guys. Right, quick update. I spoke to the guy selling the corrado. Seems like a genuine nice guy. The car is registered as a 1.8 on the log book but the previous owner converted it to a g60. It has the g60 engine that has been reworked at one point and g60 running gear, suspension etc. I'm not naive so I know it isn't a 'real' g60 but it seems a decent car. I have secured it if I want it for £200. My two questions to you guys are Is it still worth buying or should I walk away Am I being silly because I can't see past the fact it is a wannabe? I grew up in an era detesting novas with gti badges on them. Of course this one does actually have a g60 in it but still feels like a fake now he's told me. Cheers all

Maybe meet half way @ 400. sounds like it needs a lot of work. The brakes are def seized on this one but the body is pretty good. The interior seems in good order. Dont know about the engine as of yet. I'll try for 200 and see where it goes from there but I think its too good to lose over a hundred quid lol

Definitely. I hate seeing any car in such a state. Especially future classics! I'll pop along tomorrow and hopefully see the guy. I'll get some pics too. Thanks for all the comments so far.

Cheers vag-hag

Thanks sean. The exterior isnt too bad. Wings and sill are fairly ok.Rear lights are after market and spoiler is in up position so I assume thats stuck. The dash and rear seats door cards etc are all ok. Front seats have been swapped for leather. The wheels are also after market but arnt too bad. I suppose in reality even if the engine is shot its not a lot of money if I can get it for right price. I had an old bomb proof 8v golf gti many moons ago and that was fun

Hi all. Im new here. Im quite an avid car fan but the corrado is not one I am that familiar with. I have been lookin for an old knacker to do up (any car make) with my son over the next 3 years. A kind of lads n dads bonding thing. Anyway I have come across a corrado g60 on my travels. It is a h reg . Other than that I know little else. Looks like its been layed up for at least 2 years judging by cond and the tax in the window. It as wrong front seats in and few other mods but generally isnt too bad. I need to speak to the owner to find out more ie engine and running gear milage etc. I heard he wants 400 but im thinkin along the lines of 200. What is the main things to look out for and what value would you guys put on it? Many thanks ged.
