spoier 0 Posted June 22, 2003 Woo Yay I'm now the pround owner of a bouncing 1990 Corrado G60!!!! Many many little things wrong with it, but I got quite a good deal on it. Lots of stone chips as you can see, but the body is otherwise in quite good shape (no bondo!!). Interior is a bit ratty, lots of little electrical gremlins to sort out. Maybe be swapping in leather seats some time but the cloth are quite comfy, great bolster side support. And finally the nice young fellow who sold his baby to me, who listened to reason and accepted my offer which I believe is exactly what it is worth ($2600 US) Absolutely thrilled to say the least, but have to get cracking on some of the bigger problems before the July 4th weekend so we can do a road trip Skye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted June 22, 2003 looks like a good buy,but i see what you mean about the stone chips :shock: ...are those half leather seats?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 22, 2003 Stonechips seem to be a real problem on C's in the USA.. there was another member here with a really nice C that had suffered heavily from the same problem. Still looks really nice and welcome to the wonderful (if a little expensive) world of Corrado ownership :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 22, 2003 My G60 had chips simular to yours when I brought her, spent a bit of money and she looks great now, gave her a new lease of life :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spoier 0 Posted June 22, 2003 Yup I went into this with a TOTAL budget of $4000 - either buy a car already in really nice condition for that, or in this case, have $1400 to spend to bring it up to that condition. Most of the little problems are going to be easily fixed once I have the Bentley manual. The engine is down on power (butt dyno says it's got about 90 hp at the moment) - may need a 'charger rebuild, but compression on the engine is OK and equal. Definately have to raise the car up a little though, it is lowered WAY too much. Skye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spoier 0 Posted June 22, 2003 How did you fix your stone chips? Just get a full respray? I think the reason chips are so bad here in the USA is because over half of all vehicles on the road are trucks/SUVs - and hardly any of them have mud flaps. It's really stupid and ridiculous. Bad taste rules supreme here unfortunatley. Skye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 22, 2003 Well a lot of people just get a front end respray... bonnet, bumper, and wings.. Saves a fortune and pretty much does the job as thats where 90% of the stonechips are gonna be. And as for SUV's.. dont get me started :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 22, 2003 Hi I had a full respray, jims16v is correct in saying most people opt for the wings, bonnet, strip and bumper to be sprayed. My reason for doing this is that I preffered the Dragon green to the pearlesent green that it was orginally 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
