Id like to introduce myself as a first time corrado owner. I just recently purchased a 1990 G60 from a guy who unfortunately, did not take very good care of, or know much about the car. The owner before him put a belt kit on the supercharger to give it a higher output but that is the extent of the good things I know about the vehicle...
Its been dropped on some un-identifiable coilovers and 17" sparco alloys, and there was a failure of an HID kit put on the car, rendering the left headlight useless (it probably didnt help that the kit was the wrong size, so he wrapped it in duct tape to make it fit). And the windshield fluid reservoir is mysteriously missing, along with the pump and all the fluid lines. And the seat belt on the passenger side doesnt move when I turn the vehicle on, however the driver side seat belt works (sometimes). Aaaaaand the paint (not factory) is cracked where there was some mystery bondo work done where there appears to have been no reason for it at all, judging by the look I took at the inside of the panels where there is cracking.
Despite all of this, it runs strong and has some pep in its step. And the wing works! (from what ive heard and read, the wings have a tendency to not want to work after a while)
I plan on replacing the coilovers and putting some 15x8.5 steel rims from diamond racing with some stretched 185 45 tires on the car, as well as replacing the fog lights and taillights, and upgrading the sound system. Then when that is all said and done, putting and OEM lip kit on it and repainting the entire car a nice VW silver.
Any comments or tips, or just a friendly hello is always appreciated =]
Im very excited to be a corrado owner and expect this car to be a lot of fun for me to work on and drive for years to come
