That's the sort of luck I have.

It's gonna be the manifold or down pipe. Defo not head gasket as engine wouldn't run right. If the smell is worse when engine is hot is because the manifold is expanding from the heat so hole is getting bigger.

My G60 was done by jmr (John mitchel racing) he done a fair few other bits like recon and fit vr6 box and clutch I dint have the work done but previous owner did and he couldn't speak highly enough of him. It runs great for a 138k motor. It does depend on where you live or are you gonna strip them off the car and post them?

Ahh I know where you are, just looks very very similar to somewhere in Chelmsford I've worked before. I want to get it out to some shows next year so we should make our own red g60 stand lol

Sounds good. I thought I was the only G60 in the village I was getting lonely.

Sr - your in Essex too, your photos look like Chelmsford?

Not far. Hornchurch(near romford)

ha ha ha that's kinda the response when the thread about them on ebay was posted lol

It's the can of ice cold coke in the desert. Priceless if it's the only one. Another red G60 we'll have to start our own little club.

Is it a case of it pushes down then pops up again or will it not push down far enough? Have you got any pics?

Oi Chris - they're £300 each side and you have to go through me OK??? :lol:

 

No worries boys it's nothing to do with me I just spotted that and know a few of you are after these so thought I'd stick it up here for you.

 

Right so that's bonnet foam and roof trims - anything else you need finding? :D

Window scrapers. Mine are so shot they may aswell not be on the car for all the good they are doing.

Hello mate have sent you a pm.

Looks great especially the gloss black where did you get the idea for that lol.

Thanks for the heads up on that SR_Neale ,will put that on the back burner for the moment lol

You are aware that fitting cams and lowering the suspension is modifying? Should have put a tenner on it. Anyone who is thinking about what to do to the car while on holiday is not a keep it standard person.

Haha. It's done!! Going to pick it up later. Whoop whoop!!

Photo shoot time. Bet you spend longer admiring her than driving.

Well that's 4 days and no mods ,so going well so far ,can guarantee another week aswell as will be in Egypt lol

Still don't know what to do about the exhaust and suspension ,thinking of going back to standard .would I regret it ? Lol

Suspension yes. Mine is standard great handling for a standard car but looks wise it's far 2 high.

Tick tock tick tock. Not long now. Bet you don't sleep much tonight.

Have you considered buying a doner vr6.

Have you picked out what the first thing your gonna listen to on it? Or have you already done that?

Challenge accepted lol

Well see lol

Did the actual body change when it was face lifted or just bolt on panels? Just wondering when ordering stuff like suspension exhaust etc etc

Is that early bumpers or just front bumper? Does the bonnet line up with the wings OK? Around the lock in the door handle is it raised or flat?

All the panel gaps look ok where bonnet meets wings both front and rear bumpers are late spec and handles as far as I can remember are flat but drivers side had been changed before I got due to an attempted break in (scum bags). Cheers for info. Never really noticed till I had a good look around at some other corrados at a show on Sunday. Was worried it may have been in a smash as the front wing is different shade to door but you have set my mind at rest.

When did the corrado get a make over? I have a 92 G60. I have late spec bonnet, bumpers and grill but early spec dash etc. is it likely that it came out of the factory like this or is it more likely that its had a new front end? The under bonnet sound deadening was early spec (now removed).

I agree with both of you lol

But they was a cheap tidy up to get it on some wheels ,funds were low as go on holiday Monday ,as soon as I sell the rs8 alloys will look to get some new rims ,another set of rx2s probably ,had a set in the shed for a couple of years but eventually sold them to spencer thinking I would never need them again

Tbh haven't got many plans for it as such ,good tidy up ,some wheels and prob just some subtle mods ,want to change to the vr6 master cylinder and servo as from what Spencer's said it's well worth doing

That's how it always starts. Not gonna do much then you have done tons of stuff. It's like going out for a beer and saying I'm not gonna get drunk tonight then next morning your trying to remember what happens the night before lol. I've said and heard some many times gonna keep it standard and just drive it but it never works out like that.

Any updates on venues dates?

Looks good. How comes when I look at other people's red corrados I think yeah that looks wicked but when I look at mine I'm not a fan?

Love a green rado. Are the wheels body colour or black? Would look better in a lighter colour IMO. What plans you got for her?

What's next bags or has the wallet got to recover first? You going to any shows this year?
