Hey guys

 

Just signed up, I just bought, what seems to be an extremely clean g60 shell, which I’m planning to put my vr6 turbo engine into from my mk2 golf after finding a bit more rust on the golf than I expected!

 

The mk2 I plan to shelf until I get round to sorting the rust on it, but I’ve always liked the idea of a rado, and when this came up local, and for what I think was a good price, I couldn’t turn it down...

 

Tried to attach a couple of photos, but the upload function doesn't seem to be working for me :( I'll try get some up asap

Still can't upload photos with the uploader, but can share them this way...

 

So here it is en route from collecting it IMG_20180612_200355_140_zps6pgseeh2.jpg

 

And once back to the house, it's still sitting on the trailer until I'm home again, it needs a respray but rust wise, all it has is a hole in the battery tray, and some on the front wing, but another wing was included. There is nothing at all that I can see in the rear arches,strut towers, scuttle etc. Seems a great base to swap my engine set up over to..

Hello and welcome to the Forum.

Fair play the G60 shell looks good, I see what you mean about the drivers wing, and the red paint looks a bit faded in places.

 

Believe me you'll love driving this car once it's done, keep us posted with your progress :thumbleft:

You doing a VR6 Turbo conversion as well Geeba?

 

Ahhh no afraid not - I like the OEM+ but Turbo charging would be a bit too much for me.... my engine is modded but all internal except a Shrick VGI.

 

This car looks like mine as it has no engine and all the front end is missing ;)

Sorry for the lack of response, I ended up doing a lot of extra shifts at work, so had a quiet few months, still not touched the corrado shell, but i've bought a new toy, that i'll start a thread on today :)

 

Thanks for the welcome everyone :D
