The Judge's G60, total rebuild...finished (almost) NEW PICS

[emu 0]

Here's the colour's I am considering for the wheels:

Dark anthracite:

 

 

Dark anthracite in metallic without any blue additions. My opinion.

Cycled past this at some point last year/early this year in Aberdeen. Thought it was a nice example and was wondering what it was since there was a FMIC. Engine bay will look amazing once finished!

Thats coming along really nicely buddy.

 

I like the first colour for the wheels

Found what I'd been looking for complete still wearing old registration :clap:

 

 

Now just have to decide what to do, as due to the total ambiguity of current number plate laws, I'm not sure a US-sized plate will go down too well (even tho as long as plate meets size reg's it should be fine (5-digit registration so will fit).

Old engine has now been sold on finally, freeing up more funds for further work. Here's some more recent pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, looking for opinions on the front grille set-up, options are colour-coded Rieger, colour-coded debadged 3-slat or black debadged 3-slat.

looking good, any more clues on the final engine set up yet ;)

As for the grill, its the black debadged for me, although the colour coded rieger does look pretty good against the in pro's.

Been an age since this was last updated, hopefully have some more pics soon, the final push is on....watch this space :-)

The bay and engine looks great , coded grill or black de-badged would look great , must say though standard lights would finish it off ,each to there own though .

Great build thread and an inspirational G60 also ..... that thing is going to absolutely fly

 

i think the black badgeless four-slat grill is best or even paint the eyebrow gloss black for contrast from the blue

Was great to meet you yesterday at the Workshop, a total surprise, and a complete pleasure to talk you through our works to date on your Corrado. A few more additions to fit, and a re-map away from final road testing, before you can take her back home to Scotland.

Hopefully another couple of months.

This G60 looks like it means serious business......

Blimey, it's got nearly as many gauges as mine, lol. Looking forward to seeing this one when it's done :)

So been thinking about wheels and not sure the Compo's are going to cut-it in the end.....torn between two sets of wheels I have, one which we all know and love (or hate?) but I know the rado would look so right on them but lets face it, they're nothing new OR go for something possibly even rarer, certainly a little edgy (I've never seen a Corrado on them before) with some nice little detailing touches.

 

Only problem I can forsee is getting the second set to fit over my brakes (never tried them for clearance), although that said, both sets of wheels under consideration are 16" and will require adapters to fit due to stud pattern differences.

 

However, I know the first set will definetely fit depending on width of adapters chosen (a hard one to decide) and they don't currently need refurbed (gloss black centres with polished outers already) = whole lot less hassle.

 

Am thinking black wrinkle/textured finish or matte gold for the centres if I go with option two for the wheels, opinions welcome ?

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Right, feedback required on which wheels and which centre-colour to go with.

 

Should I ditch the matt-black Compomotive MO's and go with the 3-pc split-rim option, and if so which colour option to go with as follows ?

 

1. Colour-coded centres (Subaru Sonic Blue Metallic)

2. Black matt-wrinkle/crackle centres

3. Gold (prob matt-finish) coloured centres

 

Opinions welcome :-)

[dragon green 4]

colour coded gets my vote !

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Had interesting email yesterday

 

 

Anymore thought peeps ?

[Craig 0]

Would need to see some full on side shots of the car first ;)

 

But from What I can see I think the MOs look Very nice, you could try them for a while and see how you feel, or even have them as a winter option if that's in your budget.

 

I personally wouldn't go colour coded on splits as I think it will be too much of a colour clash. Too much blue IMO but I might be wrong.

 

Black suits the blue if you like a mean stealth look or gold could be a winner, some subtly bling as on scoobys. Someone handy with photoshop would be helpful to try and gauge what colours match :)

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Aye, but hard to do that without giving the game away so to speak ;-)
