Slangwerk's budget Corrado project........

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I had to sell my Golf G60 Edition One a month ago as I needed money to sort out my wedding/debts etc, but there was no way I was going without a dub!

 

So I figured the time was right to get a Corrado - I'd always wanted one and with decent 16vs around for good money I took the plunge and picked this up off forum member Wcrado (cheers mate)....

1990 1.8 16v in LA6U Dark Green Metallic, with some nice engine bits, lowered 60mm on 15x7 Melbers.

 

The car was in good condition with a recent respray but was still full of G3 compound dust in all the door shuts and interior, and it had an intermittent starting problem.

 

I've set myself a budget of 2.5k for purchase, upgrades and mods, and so far I've still got a bit left to spend!

 

Pics from yesterday after the fitting of some new bits and a decent clean...

Cheers guys, really looking forward to E38 now!

 

looking good mate.. any plans to slam it more????

 

Thanks Bal, I've definately gotta go lower - as the wheels were originally on an awesomely low corrado that used to belong to Scruffydubber I think it would be rude not to go for a bigger drop!

Cheers mate,

 

The wheels are BBS RX in 7x16" 4x100 ET 42 (vauxhall offset)

The wheels were custom refurbed by John Williams (owner of the black corrado above) in a smoke chrome finish.

 

The vauxhall offset means they tuck in the arches nicely, great for a low C!might space the backs out until I can afford to go a bit lower!
