I had to save this one!!

[dgarwood07 0]

I'm back! After selling my last corrado about two years ago to put towards buying my first house, I have always wanted another one. This was local to me and was in desperate need of some loving.

 

It's a 1.8 16v no TAX or MOT

A lot of dodgy stickers

Few war wounds and a very random black bonnet

Not bad alloy's so I'm going two refurb them for now, and its already on coilovers so hopefully I can lower it a little more :)

 

Think I'm going two clean the body work up as well as I can, strip it out and change the rear lights

Welcome back. If you are after changing the lights back to standard, maybe we can do a deal?

Did someone not say... "Best way to go bankrupt in style is to buy a Corrado" ? :)

And with a Raddo...........maybe a divorce :lol:

So I have started to strip the back out, removed the bonnet ready for a early one. And I couldn't help but give it a wash and polish just to see how it would scrub up

 

Not sure why the photos are showing up the wrong way round?

Ok so I have stripped the inside was planning on putting in some bucket seats but I am gradually going off that idea. So i might be after some front seats soon as I sold all mine lol I have got a front splitter and standard rear lights ready to be fitted as well pictures to follow.

A mate of mine said I could have his old one but isn't red. So it would mean I wouldn't have to paint it :) how much do you want for it?

[GrahamU 6]

£20 and its yours

[dgarwood07 0]

[GrahamU 6]

Sounds good mate, just gotta sort out collecting it see if I can borrow an van :)

[GrahamU 6]

no problem

[dgarwood07 0]

Little update I fitted a different battery and it started first push of the button :) ( I'm actually starting to like the push button start even tho u still have to put the key in and turn then push haha)

New rear lights fitted look a million times better, and fitted the front splitter.

Forgot I cleaned up the coilovers and lowered it just a little more ;)

I do like red cars with black wheels..........

 

Top tip have a look under the front you want your wishbones parallel with the subframe any lower and it has dramatic effects on the handling, good luck mate :thumbleft:
