Piercedwinky's Corrado - tires n wheels on, holes welded
PiercedWinky replied to PiercedWinky's topic in Members Gallery
Thanks man, its a bit of a mess in there right now. There are 3 of us that share the shop and 2 of us have all been working on some crazy projects lately. The truck you see in the pictures is plain rediculous. 87 Toyota long bed, bed has had 1 foot sectioned out of it so it is a normal sized bed but the tailgate doesnt stick out as far, and we chopped off the independant front suspension in place of an older solid axel. Front suspension was moved forward 3 inches, rear was moved back an inch. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v147/ ... GE_168.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v147/ ... GE_167.jpg It was a bit of a frame off type of project http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v147/ ... e055-1.jpg We like to have fun out here ;-) Some parts got shipped out for the audi... Stub axels for the front and a welded center diff... RWD fun for the summer :cuckoo: -

Havent done too much to the car lately. I have been busy working and spending time with the girl. Nathan got off his ass and sent my front wheels finally. The truck is one hell of a machine. :shock: Got camber? Also been modding the A6 a bit. H&R race springs, RS6 swaybars, and stereo stuff -

They are a classy wheel, but over here I have only seen a few sets. They are et 15 in the rear and 25 up front. My car is a bit of a bastard child for suspension though. I have vr6 plus suspension in the front and the g60 rear beam. There is a vr6 rear beam I am going to put in to get a little wider in the rear. The wheels clearing the beam isn't my issue, with how low I am the beam is hitting the frame rails on the car. -

went to the shop with one of the wheels. Thought I would mock them up to see how far I needed to pull the arches I also seem to not have any clearence between the frame and the rear beam now :sad: -

LOL arches in the rear, fenders in the front... oh wait... you crazy guys call them wings :lol: It has room to go lower! I actually daily drove it for a couple years at that hieght. It is a bit impractical but it got me around Thanks man! Shorter shot than you think. I live less than an hour away from Denver. :wave: Let me know when you are here. I will buy a round at the bar 8) -

The wheels are 16x9. Should provide for some fun. Now I need to sell my Mk1 Cabby to fund wheels for the Audi also :lol: -

I will keep mine stock green. It is just nice getting a late VR6 cluster to match the late dash I have, plus I needed a VR6 cluster for the swap. US Clusters also only go up to 140... it was a good deal I couldnt pass up -

Oil eater works so well. Looks like you are at least getting somewhere with this finally. Go pull the rest of the wiring out so you can actually get some work done! There is something in the mail for you BTW ;-) -

The biggest piece of advice I have for you on the shaved bay is just start on it and don't look back. If you do you will get scared. Remove brackets first, then weld holes. When you get to the raintray call me or wells. We both pulled ours and know some tricks. You can run the wiring behind the dash without having much to lengthen. Are you getting rid of the holes in the firewall or keeping them for wiring? -

PiercedWinky replied to biggerbigben's topic in Members Gallery
If only I liked motorbikes! I'm thinking a really lightweight mk1 golf might do the trick! Got the urge for a lightweight mk1 with big bhp!! I love my Mk1... If I didn't have a corrado project, I would retire the Mk1 from daily driver status -
