recent engine bay pics on page 2.

cheers.

 

edit:decided to strip it again and turn it into a barely road legal track car,new engine/rims/colour etc,etc...

[jedi-knight83 0]

nice looking car, did you do most of it yourself?

 

what corrado are you looking for?

[Riley 0]

yep,its my first ever dub,had it five years now its taught me a lot :lol:

im after a late black/is it storm grey g60,must be low mileage,standard,immaculate,

am i being too picky? :?

[Jim 2]

Well... late black immaculate low mileage unmodified G60's is a bit of a specific.. i'm sure the car you want will come up for sale but be prepared to wait, prepared to travel, and prepared to pay for it!

 

There have been a few very tidy G60's come up for sale on the forum.. so just keep your eyes peeled :)

 

Nice MK1 by the way :)

[jedi-knight83 0]

not many standard g60's around anymore...most have had the charger reworked and upgraded...new pullys etc etc..

 

be easier to find an imaculate...partly modded one IMO

 

or just get a propper corrado and get teh VR6

 

*ducks to miss the abuse thrown by respectable g60 drivers* :roll:

[Riley 0]

:lol:,great its just like cgti with the 8v vs 16v.

sorry but im not a fan of the vr6

yeah,wouldnt mind one slightly modded,charger pully etc...

 

its just gotta look standard exterior/interior wise.

basically i wanna find a real minter.

:lol:

 

Back to topic: Yes, you will have to be willing to travel to find what you want. I for one found mine all the way up in Aberdeen (live in Coventry), it was fairly original bar a G-Lader rebuild by Jabba (receipts included), 17" alloys, erm, yes, it was a US-spec LHD Rado, one reason why I wanted it 8) Did enjoy the drive all the way back home again.

 

If you're not too fussed about where the steering wheel sits, you could also have a peek on the German equivalent to Autotrader: http://www.mobile.de

cheers m8,will keep an eye out.

 

im not too bothered about traveling/looking at a few before the right 1 comes up,was hard work finding the mk1.

cheers again.

[Riley 0]

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Nice. Very similar to my old MK1 16V.

 

Like the air horn :lol:

Like the air horn :lol:

 

Won't it get full of water mounted like that though? Be more of an Air Gargle than an air horn! :lol:

 

Lovely looking MKI though... I really need to get mine back into one piece... that's my summer gone then... :roll: 8)

[Riley 0]

Fair enough then... 8) My MKI is probably also going to end up as a weekend and "oops, I broke the Corrado again" car... :wink: :lol: :roll:

 

XR3I?!? No wonder you want rid of it for another VW... ;)

 

Ieeeee... not good for the MKII (you just got that edit in before I posted this! ;) ) Did you catch the sods that did that? :evil:

 

Hope you find the G60 you want... 8)

[Kevin Bacon 5]

My MK1 16V was a daily driver....had 250K on the clock (MK2 16V clocks wound forward!) when I sold it and still only using a pint of oil a quarter. I don't miss it though. Too many late nights, skinned knuckles, bad language and freezing my butt off in the winter.

That sounds very familiar... Add in a hall of residence car park, and having to put the gearbox into the bike sheds and chain it down a couple of times (when I melted the clutch) to stop it going walkies, and you're about there... ;) :roll:

 

This time will be different... ;) 8)

lol at skinned knuckles etc,ive gone past all that now.

i hope i find a nice g60 too 8)

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

Very nice makes me want to sell the C and get a MK 1 again :( Immense fun :mrgreen:

[Riley 0]

wow!

 

thought id give a small update on the mk1 :lol:

the projects off im afraid,due to other priorities... :cry:

 

 

looks like this at the moment,but ive dumped all my spares inside it.

neil.

 

damn i miss it...

sound clip of its last spoken words before the lump came out :cry: :cry:

 

[Riley 0]

rip A777OVL. :cry:

[CoxyLaad 0]

why RIP?

[Riley 0]

rust in pieces? :lol:

 

well i dunno what to do with it,scrap it or build it back up on the cheap and sell it... :?

 

neil.

[Bally 0]

dont scrap it mate... MK1's are becoming rare!

[Riley 0]

i know it would be a shame m8,weve been through a lot together :drinking: :lol:

 

just need to decide weather its worth carrying out my plans,and pouring more money into a bare shell that already stands me at a ludicrous amount... :?

 

neil.

[rado-steve 0]

What has suddenly gone wrong with it?????

[Riley 0]

well i suddenly realised it may be crazy to start pouring more £ into it that i dont have.

 

and theres more important things i need to sort at the minute.

 

just gonna let it sit there for a bit,no rush to make up my mind.

 

neil. :(
