Holy sheeeite.

 

The mags should be knocking your DOOR down for features when that car is finished. I simply can't WAIT to see the finished article!

I resisted the temptation to post on this thread as I knew what it was going to be an age ago - I saw it earlier on this year when I picked up some RST seats from you Ben

 

Oh, and it looks damn fine

:shock: Sweet!!!

 

As with everyone else I cannot wait to see this complete! I already really like the exterior (namely how low the car is), its hugely powerful... and now will have a totally original interior... a new idol among corrado's I think :wink: :D

Should have waited until I finished the dash before posting pics but couldn't wait any longer. I have kept the idea under wraps for over a year now as some of you well know....!

 

I didn't expect such overwhelming replies to be honest, I thought some might turn their noses up at the dash. So thanks for those who posted...! I hope I can keep the quality as high as possible.

 

I do have The Golf + mag interested in a possible feature, we will see.

 

Here is a pic of what the interior should look like, I had to mmodify the ends of the top half of the dash due to the corrado being a different width and the steering column being in a different position, but I have tried my best to keep it looking the same....

TVR's have been using Corrado mirrors for years........so it's only fair that you use their dash for your Rado!!!LOL! :mrgreen: :wink:

Completely, totally, utterly impressed Ben. The bit you've made above the dash really suits the tvr dash too. Get it pro trimmed to do it justice. Should imagine you'd get a good deal due to the headline grabbing nature of the mod.

Im with everyone else on this... amazing mod - totally individual... outrageous concept but still classy!

 

with a20 lee on get the pro job done (unless u experienced) cos i cant see all those curves being easy to trim!

 

good luck and keep the pics coming

I'm not sure what I'm doing about a re-trim...? My main intension is to get the car on the road asap! Therefore the interior is on hold until this happens. Having said that I really would love to have a professional re-trim but they do know how to charge! I have been practising myself on stretching material over the rear door cards and it's not that hard.., but quality stiching is another issue. Basically I will re-evaluate when I get it on the road. Will posts some more pics soon..

Right time for an update I think,

 

I've not had much time to work on the car much recently because of work and therefore the interior hasn't changed much... however..

 

I have a fellow corrado owner coming over next weekend to help me get it started, bleed the brakes + clutch and hopefully by then it will be ready for a quick trial I think...!

 

Whilst putting it back on the ground I did find a couple of guests taking residense both on the outside of my exhaust and within...! All I can say is I hope they can fly as come next weekend they won't have much choice.... :D :D :D
