James' Dragon Green VR6

[James VR6 10]

My Corrado will never be up to the standard of the ones I've seen on here but this is my thread for Lisa the Corrado (because of the reg being L154) and I hope you like her...

 

Please excuse any mistakes as some of this was copy and pasted from another forum,

 

The day I got home, I just gave her a quick hoover inside, cleaned the wheels and removed the eyebrow shown in this picture

 

 

 

Today I set about a proper clean of the inside and made a start on the engine bay.

 

Then I started removing parts I wanted to replace and bring back to life.

 

Front grill removed to clean and paint the faded silver VW badge satin black. Plate removed to replace with new.

 

 

I then removed the rear badge to paint black (not shown) and the rear plate, to again replace with new.

 

 

I then swapped the crappy old wipers for modern bendy type ones and used a hairdryer to heat up and get some old logos from the rear windows.

 

New plate and black badge

 

 

black badge on next to the new plate

 

 

Donated by a mate for free, win!!

 

 

Removed the rear wiper today and bunged up the hole

 

 

And replaced a smashed door mirror glass

 

 

Continuing on from the above that I did first thing, my new rear lights turned up mid morning, so cleaned, polished and fitted!

 

They turned up a bit dull and faded, did one for comparison to start

 

 

Old ones which the previous owner tried to tint red vs new

 

 

Fitted, but picture doesn't do them justice

 

 

Lots of detailed cleaning to follow, and maybe a set of wheels...

 

God I love this car!

Looks great, your changes already make a huge difference.

 

Looking forward to seeing future updates.

Love green corrados best colour they did. What sort of plans you got? My number plate spells Lou. Is that the original plate. Good luck with it.

Thanks for the positive comments, yes that's the original plate, kinda hope it might be worth a few quid.

 

Plans for the car are to replace old and worn parts and mend it when it breaks. I need to pick some nice wheels as well.

I think mine could be worth about £700 to the right person if you go buy what others go for. but it's original but I doubt I would sell it. Btw in talking about the number plate.
