Bennys Corrado VR6 !! built to be drivern ! BREAKING !!!!!!!

[CorradoRun 0]

Hi guys,

iv just brought my frist corrado !! its a 1995 vr6 in classic green with full storm spec. iam the 2nd owner !! and its only done 80k.. the back seats have never been sat in ! and yes its all standard, evan has the standard head unit.

 

this is all about to change tho... :lol: first thing todo was to make sure we still have a car to play with ! so we fitted a viper cat 1 alarm. its very cool with its remote start, meaning i can start the car up in the mornings keeping all the doors locked. :D

 

once the alarm was fitted i put my Alpine head unit in along with a few other shinny bits that i kept from my last car. as i do think the inside of a corrado needs updating. so it now has a momo steering wheel, chrome heater surounds and a set of audi TT pedals. A custom amp install and uprated speakers will follow soon along with sound deadering the hole car.

 

I already have a set of porsche wheels. along with some FK Konigsport coilovers. they will be fitted up once the bodywork make over is done :) :)

 

theres gonna be alot more to come over the next few months in the way of videos and photos.

 

heres a few pics to start with.

 

bye bye mk3 golf gti colour concept :( HELLO CORRADO VR6 :D

 

 

 

 

 

fitting the alarm...

 

 

 

out with the old alarm !!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

have some more updates for you soon....................

hello matey, yer it was my PC that would not let me sign up :?

but iam here now. lol

 

iam just uploading some pics now to photobucket, as i started on the body work mods today so il have an update a bit later.

ok guys i went to the bluewater meet last night in the raddo, its the last time the car will be on the road untill the bodywork is done. it was good to meet the 2 other corrado owners who were there. and they told me to get on this forum !!!

 

Today i started the bodywork, we took out the inner arch's and removed all the mud... then we started on getting rid of the side indicators. like i said iv got a set of porsche wheels to go on what are 8inch's wide all round so we rolled the front arch's to. once they where rolled and a plate was welded behind the side indicators., we under sealed all up under the arch's to stop any rust. this also helps cut down on the road nosie.

 

 

 

rolling the lip back on the arch's ( sorry for the bad pics ) :(

 

 

on with the under seal

inner arch back in place

Hi guys,

iv just brought my frist corrado !! its a 1995 vr6 in classic green with full storm spec. .

 

 

 

................so where's the BBS Solitudes,colour coded grille and Sony CD player........you've just got a classic green VR with leather :-P :-P :-P

 

 

only joking,I just wished the Green Storm's came with black leather

[Goldie 2]

I just wished the Green Storm's came with black leather

 

You must be joking, for me its one of the reasons i went for the green. I wonder what a Mystic with beige would look like..

 

Good work CorradoRun, youre not hanging about, look forward to seeing this as it develops.

'fraid not...........I was always wanting a Mystic blue one purely for the black leather and the odd Classic Green ones that came up locally always looked well minging carpet/seat wise,tho having said that to me Classic green is a better colour than the mystic blue

hello mate !!!!!!!!!! butterd roll :? yer iam gonna need your help smoothing the bumpers my friend. il chat to you later bout it when we go out tonight ! i know the girls will not be happy about us chating cars all night !! :D :D

[CorradoRun 0]

Right guys its bin all go today !! we started by removing the rear badge's and rear wiper. taking the rear wipper out was more work than what its worth ! just getting the motor out was a pain :x then you have to grind away the ridge. once a metal plate is wealded up it then needs to be filled. but its half way there now. the same has been done on the rear badge's.

 

we then went over the hole car with a white pen and marked out the imperfections round the hole car i.e scratches dents etc.

I found the accelerator pedal is a bit tricky as the TT pedals are curved differently. It's a only a bit of bending by hand but took me a few tries to get it right.

 

Couldn't figure out which way round the brake / clutch pedal went but I've actually put mine on the other way, with the slightly lose one on the clutch, does it make a difference?

hi guys !! right iv done some more work on the rado today, we have taken the bumpers off as iam taking the rear towing eye out and smoothing the bumper. also the front number plate is going and being smoothed. and iam fitting mazda mx5 mirrors :lol: they took some work getting them to fit right but the end look will be really good !!! and as you need to take the door card off to get the mirrors off, i put in some sound deading into the front doors. have some more updates next week........

 

 

 

 

[CorradoRun 0]

hi guys ! right the car is almost ready for paint :D have de-locked the number plate suround on the boot and smoothed it ready for paint. all the paking dents have now gone ! the front number plate has been re-moved and smoothed along with the back bumper were we have lost the towing eye. heres a few pics at the stage its at now, should be ready for painting next weekend !!!! :)

What you do is fit 2 clutch ones - fit perfectly with no mods. Do a search and you should find the part nnumbers.
