D-13 10 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Got a bit of spare time so I thought I would start up a thread............... Years ago, a had a awesome G60 in red, loved it but i had a company car and it never got used, then lost where it was stored so finally i sold it for stupid money to my cousin who was going to work in germany after making him promise to look after it.........Well he never and last i heard it was rotting in a old converted pub car parking in germany.....needless to say it was my 'NEVER SHOULD HAVE SOLD IT' car......... But time moves on, and whilst looking for parts for my wifes mk1 cabrio my friend said 'i have something that may interest you'.....so i popped over and bought this http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee498/busterdub13/A605A907-948D-4092-A45A-64899A928A60_zpsfip1pdmr.jpg to be honest i bought it as soon as i seen it....so missed have a g60 to play with http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee498/busterdub13/685D873E-35D3-41A8-88F1-E9772C816485_zps9s9witbn.jpg so it is now at my unit Already, the parts are starting to be ordered......

Jim 2 Posted December 19, 2014 You know.. if you were to describe that paint scheme on the Corrado closest to camera to me in person, I think a little part of me would have died inside. But it looks awesome I have to say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it looks awesome I have to say. Haha know what you mean as you should hate it but you can't help but love it , it is a mates car running a tdi conversion and gets a lot of attention (sometimes not by the right people) The silver one is a 20vt owned by the same chap.....all I can say is watch this space on that one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-13 10 Posted December 20, 2014 Glad you got a G60 back. Nice E21 lurking in the shadows too! ;) There is quite a few other cars in there too mostly early water cooled vw, so my rado is quite modern Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-13 10 Posted February 2, 2015 so a bit of a update................ finally stripped of all In-pro crystal stuff and replaced it with a Spoonfed G60 debadged grill, Cult society g60 intakes and a set of US indicators........still not sure if i like it?? maybe it just needs a dam good clean???? The really crap part is them In-pro parts use different bulb holders so i am having to find the OEM items to change it all back The rear was treated too again with a Spoonfed item Also pick up a full ss exhaust system and few other bits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those spoonfed spoilers are fantastic Nice looking project mate Cheers buddy, yes your right on the interior......it was featured in pvw years ago, it was a car I always loved purely because of that interior (even still got the copy of the magazine!!) couldn't believe it when I got offered them Sadly I have had a change of heart with this interior, it's not bound for the rado.......but I have sourced a full grey leather interior instead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
