JMC's G60

[JMC 0]

Thought it was about time I put up a few piccies of my G60. Shame I don't have any of what it was like before most of the work was done, but c'est la vie.. Must get some of the interior too after it has been attacked with the hoover 8)

very nice! whats involved with fitting those lovely porka callipers?

[JMC 0]

Thanks Sciroccotune, The calipers fit under my 16 inch MO's using the same Seat adaptors that the Brembo conversion kit uses. Other than that, not much needed to be done really. Had Darren at G-Werks fit them for me, and as always he did a fantastic job...

Thanks guys. Still need to give it a clean before new shots of the interior, but here's a couple in the mean time...

Not liking the black rims myself :| Calipers look great though :)

Like the dials...... where did you get them ?

 

Love the pics..... still not sure about the black wheels on black car. Still think it's looking good though ;)

Thought long and hard about the rims - was never any doubt in my mind as to them being black though. I wanted a nice dark canvas to set the calipers off against 8) Gradually redoing the interior to be mainly red lit, and then black leather and grey alcantara for the seats and trim. Has been a long time, but she's gradually getting there...

 

Dials are from the forum group buy with Dub Design Industries in Canada. They are really funky, and very, very bright when turned up full.

Dayum! Very very nice rado there mate :)

Thanks 16v, still a few things left to do - custom remap, 2l engine rebuild (would be nice), gauges waiting to be installed, more bits to be covered in alcantara. Ah the joys of Corrado ownership :)

Finally got the last bit of the centre console recovered using alcantara - the gear surround :) :) :) All there is left to do now is larger injectors, remap, toothed belt, recolour the remainder of the interior, install gauges etc, etc, etc.

i've always loved c on mo's really want a set of for mine :? nice c by the way

[JMC 0]

Thanks for the feedback folks - always nice to hear some. Made the holder for my air/fuel and oil pressure gauges today - nice to have a bit of time off work to do these little odd jobs. All I have to do is figure out how to fit them now :? :?

Looking good mate - I see you finally switched your heatre controls to red! Much hassle?

[JMC 0]

Hi Dave - the heater controls were a bit of a challenge. Had some scans of the original ones sent through by randal, which I then played about with a bit in Photoshop to increase the resolution and change the colours. Then got 2 inkjet printouts on acetate so I could stick them together (one of the images flipped by 180 degress horizontally so that when they're stuck together the inked image can't be damaged). Needed 2 layers otherwise the black let the light through. Then found that it was pretty dark at the far ends away from the light, so installed 3 more 12V mini lights so that the whole thing lights up. Other than that it was easy... Also done the heated seat switch light in red (using glass paint rather than an LED).

superb car mate , i like what your doing to the interior , i've done all my switches dash etc with led's ,makes the car feel much newer

 

anyhoo the pic of your centre console , i used to hate the gaitor hanging down from the gear knob , its an easy fix though ,just put a spring under the gaitor which sits on the circlip underneath , looks much neater

[biggerbigben 0]

Those porker caliper look nice :wink:

[JMC 0]

Thanks GIXXERUK - I think there is already a spring under there so it makes me wonder if it used to be like that. And yes biggerbigben those calipers do look good, thank you for selling them...

 

Just covered my gauge holder in alcantara. All I need to do now is cut 2 small sections out of the ashtray holder so that the gauges will fit. Typically the gauges are about 2mm to big to fit. Grrr...

Been working on a set of tweeter builds and on the drivers side a build to incorporate my Autometer boost gauge as well. Really easy to do folks if you fancy a go yourself. Used MDF as the base, then built it up with P40 filler to get the overall shape. Finally P38 filler whichis easily sanded to get the final smooth shape. Then lots and lots and lots of sanding with finer and finer grade paper. Next a few coats of primer and finally (after yet more sanding and primering) a few coats of black paint. Just took a few evenings to do. All I have to do is connect the gauge now...

Good work that man!
