dgarwood07 0 Posted September 26, 2012 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgarwood07 0 Posted September 30, 2012 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. ---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ---------- Should this be in members gallery??

daleyboy 0 Posted November 3, 2012 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: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
