Looks great and quick turnaround once it got in. I like the colour- is that black magic? Looks amazing in the Sun.

[Keyo 47]

Congratulations - G60 rado finally getting the respect it deserves - great colour LA9V ive got it on my Mk2 16v really does make a car. 

[Cressa 43]

Congratulations on the award. A Great reward for all of your effort

[1xshaunx1 27]

What a great day

[Wilko13 2]

Cheers guys a lot of hard work paid off. It’s funny as many people say corrados never seem to win awards so there is now hope for all us owners lol

I have to say the whole trip was around 500 miles and she never missed a beat. It may be on 242k but I can honestly say it drove better than my daily

When I took my Golf R to a show, a tdi with an R kit got a prize and it was said that he had made an effort where as mine was just a golf R with some wheels and lowered

I build a car with a few subtle mods, take that to shows and get nothing, where as a rusty polo with a pen on the roof so people can write on it gets a trophy

I think there may be some truth in the Corrado's never win, you did well 

 

P.S. yes, I am a bitter old man 🙂

Unfortunately not been able to do much with the corrado as gearbox has decided to leak it’s oil but few weeks ago change the bonnet lining to a dreadnoughts one

That's a really nice, neat job. Something I really need to do. Every time I open the bonnet the old stuff is shedding itself all over the engine. 

What did you use to remove the glue of the old stuff?

[Wilko13 2]

I used acetone and a plastic and metal scraper I wasn’t to fussed about scratching the paint as it will never be seen

I remember doing this job, pretty messy but rewarding once completed. Nice car BTW, cheers!

Not posted on here for a long time. Unfortunately the car has been at the workshop since November with a suspected gearbox issue. Me being me I told my mechanic I wasn’t to bothered about how long it took him to look at it. We’ll roll on 6 months and he finally got round to it (can’t complain about the free storage). Turns out the box is absolutely fine and the leak appears to be because there was far to much oil in the box and because I have given it a thrashing that day as you do it decided to release some of it. Any way it’s all been cleaned up oil breather pipe rerouted to rear of sump this is because the charger is blanked off, fitted a new oil pressure sensor as that was leaking slightly and got a nice clean mot again this year. The mot tester couldn’t believe it has 245k miles as it’s so tidy which is good to hear, he also asked to test drive it for a laugh and he commented on how well the engine is for that mileage and that it’s better than some cars that he tests that are only 3-4 years old.
