I'm back, again! 1990 1.8 16v

Recommended Posts

Ever since I sold my 91 16v I've been hankering after another one, I finally took the plunge again, and here it is, my 5th Corrado, its a 1990 1.8 16v with 121k on the clock.

 

It needs a lot of TLC, but there is a good car under there somewhere.

 

The paint was pretty faded when I got it, but a going over with a buffer has brought it up pretty well and it looks pretty respectible now, it will do for the minute anyway. Its the most econmical one I have had yet, giving me a steady 30Mpg even when pushed on.

 

Few bits missing from the interior, but I should have most of them in the attic in my spares stash.

 

As it was when picked up:

After the buffing:

It could do with a bit of paintwork which I will probably do over the next few months when I get a bit of time, I am undecided on the wheels at the moment too :?

just co-incidence they both were Tornado red and grey leather :lol: quite a rare combo as normally if Tornado Red has leather its of the black variety............certainly looks a lot better than the other one too,must be strange for you not having a silver one :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had to check the reg's twice myself, thought it was an odd combo alright, I wasnt 100% on the grey leather before I got it, but I am hapy with it now :)

 

Hmmmm, yeah, I went through a phase on the silver ones, I have three tornado red cars on the drive now :shock: Not all Corrados though :lol:
