My fourth Corrado

Recommended Posts

Over the yers, 3 Corrados have passed through mine and the other halfs ownership.Two 16Vs, and a G60. All of them ended up in a bad way through no fault of ours. Ive now got a 4th as a rolling project to restore/and generally tinker with. Its an early 16v I bought from Steve (TWIN45) on here. Its was generally very solid and straight, just needing a little TLC. I bought it primarily because I had never seen one in this colour before. The paint code matches Dark metallic green in the paint code list,but sometims it looks quite grey.

All electrics work, including the sunroof sliding.

Lowered on coilovers

Stainless exhaust which I need to change as I cant find where its blowing

And now it sits on a set of Sebrings.

 

Here it is after an intensive 6 hours paint correction

And on the Sebrings

This shows how well the paint came up and what the colour is like in the sun

Ive also repaired the drivers seat using a mint passenger seat Steve included in the sale

I just need to swap the tilt handles and cables over now.

 

Plans are to get the Sebrings refurbed in a slightly different colour, clean and detail the engine bay, then just enjoy it.

Ok, I havent really kept this up to date.

 

The car has changed a lot since the last pics were taken:

New coilovers fitted as the old ones were seized.

New wheels: Borbet A's in 7.5 and 9x16

New seats from Steve (twin45): Red leather Recaros

And a brand new genuine 50mm front spoiler as I struggled with my driveway

Lovely clean car that.

 

The height in the first pics wasn't quite to my taste, (I think you can go to low sometimes and it doesn't suit the Corrado with 15's)

 

but it looks a good now you've raised the rear.
