Never expected that

I bought my Rado, mainly as a blind buy but it was the spec i was interested in. Having got it delivered to mine with all intentions of raping it for my MK1 Golf GTI conversion. I could'nt do it, its such a nice car and ive gone all soft and stuck my pride and joy BBS RM's with 2" dish, onto it. It just needs slamming now, but still looks awsome as is. Its such a shame these get broken up. Trouble is now its distracted me from my mk1, and i never thought that would ever happen.

You're screwed. Now you'll start spending loads on it. In a year you will decide to sell and get something more sensible/cheaper/reliable. Then six months later you will come back and buy another.Welcome to Crack Corrado addiction.

Its running a 20VT, with aftermarket ECU. I was going to butcher it and shoehorn it into my mk1 gti, but after putting my "Saved For Best" BBS RM's on, it looks real trick and fat. My poor mk1 will have to do with a ported, cammed, carb'd 9A, which was my intention anyway especially as i already have the set up for it. So i dont feel so bad now. As far as being sensible, never occured to me how to be,lol. My wife is awsome on my projects, never moans or comes out with, Oh God Not Another One, just thats nice, What Is It,LOL.

She bought me a huge heavy duty 6x3 metre car cover that you can drive in and out of, so as to keep my mk1 out of the rain and so i can work on it in the dry. I turned my garage into a self contained flat for my daughter, when she comes back from UNI. So the wife bought me the cover so i can keep at it. Legend. Mind you ive got my Boys to help me out in return for rebuilding there BMX's for them.
