CrazyDave 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Well after just over 12 months away from Corrado ownership.... I've got the bug again! I fancied a tidy car, but completely standard and also something that wasn't so super clean that I wouldn't want to use it.... So here she is... A 1990 1.8 16v with 63k on the clock. The cars had some paint so it's reasonably tidy, still has a few dings and dents but really benefitted from a damned good clean, clay, polish x 3, wax and gloss enhance. Trim is pretty clean, just a few bits of tidying to do.... thats the good stuff.... The central locking isn't working, driver door handle broken (but the little die cast bits inside so can't repair!!), broken NS mirror plastic, coolant leak from the front head plastic (obsolete) pipe, front splitter (obsolete)..... What happened in the last 12 months, all the bits have disappeared! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 24, 2015 How very fitting Mic! Looking forward to the project Dave, when is the turbo going in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 25, 2015 Well even though I knew about you going to see this car and that you were on the hunt for a Corrado again, I'm still thrilled to bits that you're back in one Dave :) Look forward to seeing the motor in the metal soon enough!

CrazyDave 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Lol! As always... You guys :) It is good to be back, spent most of yesterday fettling! Mic, ya big softy, can't beat a bit of Peters and Lee. It's a 90mm splitter, currently out of stock at VW Heritage. Really want a mint condition one. No plans for a turbo, just want to drive. And the CCGB Welsh road trip is just too tempting to pass up on! So trying to get ready for that at the mo. All good Corrado related fun ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyDave 0 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Now the memories are VIVID! The Corrado players certainly did a good job ;) That trip to Germany certainly left us all with a whole new meaning for Corrado Love! Edited May 28, 2015 by CrazyDave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
