Jbob's Corrado - SOLD !!!!

[JBOB 0]

Thought it was about time I posted some pics of my car 8)

 

Its a 1990 1.8 16v that my g/f friend (Cat) bought me for my Christmas present 2004 8) I use the car everyday to get to work so about 250 miles per week.

 

Last October Cat asked me what I wanted for Christmas and jokingly I said I wanted my car resprayed. Can you guess what I got :D :D :D It originally went into a bodyshop on the 14th Nov 2005 and it was supposed to only be there for 2 weeks. I finally lost my patience and pulled it 19 weeks later :mad: most of the work was done and Id only paid a £200 deposit so it ended up being quite cheap :lol:

 

Since taking the car from them ive found a few things wrong like - both doors/rear panel/spoiler and sunroof being a slightly different

shade of black :roll: I managed to find a small newly started bodyshop that have done a fantastic job of sorting all the problems and only charged me £200 if I promise to recommend him if anyone asks :D

 

I have had some good luck however :lol: I managed to get a minty mint black leather interior which after selling my cloth seats and including travelling to London to pick it up only cost me £190 :shock:

 

Next I want to start on the engine but im gonna enjoy the car for a bit seeing as its been off the road a lot because of idiot bodyshops.

Thanks guys 8) Its been a lot of stress but im getting it to how I want now.

 

iow_corrado_g60 The mirrors are from a Yamaha bike but TBH im not 100% sure which one. When I got the car it had very similar mirrors on but they were bust so my brother found some replacements.

The headlights are Inpro angel eyes that I completely took apart only 2 days after getting them and painted everything that wasn’t needed to reflect the light. I did take loads of pics as I did them but something happened to my cameras memory :(

 

andy Funny you should say that because everyone seemed to be getting out of the way last Saturday as I was coming up the M6 8)

including BMW's :wink:

Love that car - I think I'd shit my pants if I saw that in my rear-view mirror! Maybe you should audition it for the next Batman movie! "Holy active spoiler action Batman!" :batman:

Thanks for the cool comments guys 8)

 

The bodyshop I use has only recently opened and is working off word of mouth....lets just say he’s really busy :lol: :lol: :lol: its so new that the company doesn’t even have a name yet but the details I do have are -

 

Grove Rd, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire HD1 6NB

 

Its run by a cool bloke called Dean and its the very last door on the right on Grove road :wink:

 

The work he’s done for me is A1 and the price is fantastic. Ive had both doors/back bumper/back panel(s)/filler cap/nearside A pillar resprayed by him because i wasn’t happy with the finish from the orig bodyshop. for all that he only charged me £120 :shock: :shock: 8) 8) 8) Ive still to get the bonnet done and he says if i keep telling people about him then the price will keep coming down :wink:

 

I find it really funny when people looking in the rear mirror and pull out of the outside lane :lol: even the BMW drivers and IMO most of them are ............... :wink:

 

I took loads of pics of Corrados at Inters and Im uploading them now so ill start a thread tonight.
