Some pics from the C welding shop at Karmann. Black and white stills im afraid. Again, sorry for the poor quality.

Early prototypes. 1st one is a bit ermmmmm... well, Im glad they progressed from that one.

I found another 2 pics. apologies for the poor quality.

I guess many of you will have already seen this photo from Karmann. For those who haven't...enjoy :clap:

Ahh thanks guys, esp. The_Dude for the translation and RW1 for info about the book. I know some of you have already been to the Karmann museum and one day I will go as well. I will keep researching more info and when i have collated enough info i will create a Karmann/Corrado information and media thread.. something that could maybe be added to the forum wiki.... The G-lader is a fantastic bit of kit and hats off to Karmann for producing the car we all love and praise. I know it was a joint effort between Karmann and VW but if it had just rolled down a VW production line without Karmann's influence i'm not sure it would have come out as good as it did.

Thanks. I did read that thread along with many others that concern the upgrade. I will email him and find out more but i do like the look of that rather sexy looking relay box and the attention to detail on the loom... does anyone already have one from DG?? would appreciate any feedback. lots of choices 2 relay or 3......decisions decisions :eek:

I was thinking of building my own loom but last night i stumbled across the DG website and I think a trip down to Kidder is in order despite it being a 123 mile trip. I desparatly need an upgrade to my headlights and this sounds like an awesome product and the quality looks fantastic!!.. Heard great reviews about DG and not being much of a spark myself, i quite fancy the idea of you guys supplying and fitting.. Hope to see you soon for my upgrade.

So would I.. despite the lack of comprehension.. the pics speak a thousand words!! Diggin the guy with the mop and dungers spraying the casting mould.

Sweeeeet!!!!! Nice car dude :D

lol...I would like to think it was mine :)

Hey all. I spent many years working in the Car Engine manufacturing game so vehicle assembly plants and assembly lines kinda float my boat. I know from experience that manufacturers are keen to keep insider photos to a minimum as to safeguard their processes, technology and products...I saw a you tube video going through the generations of superchargers.. towards the end of the video it showed some of the original early concepts of the corrado and even some footage of the casting and machining processes of the G-lader... then it showed some snapshots of the corrado going thru Karmann's Osnabruck's welding shop and a photo of final assembly.. the video is foreign and i have included a link but my question is ........does anyone have any more pictures or videos of the corrado manufacturing process at Karmann as im really keen on finding out more..... :D

I'm sure people pushing objects up their nose's poses quite a serious health risk...what other orrifices do people like to push objects into?? no wait best not to answer that!! ;-P

I have eaten BBQ'd sparrows while working in Japan I have 2 double jointed thumbs I dropped an iphone 4 into the toilet 30 mins after i got it home from the shop!!
