On the road again

[NorwayG60 0]

Hello and greetings all corrado owners😊

we stored our vw corrado g60 1991 on the barn for 16 years and hoping we will get her on the road again.

we are huge vw classic and specific Corrado fans

Here on the trailer watch the sun for the first time in 16 years

Third down picture from the early 2000 and she was shining

This one has not been driven much , Only 76000 km in the display😊

Taken everything apart inside just to clean up everything👍 and to rinse that beige leather interior

good looking car and low mileage too

Keep us up to date with the progress

Is there any dreaded rust and do you salt the roads there

Some rust, but not as much as i though.

what do you think?

Nothing to worry about on the rust - it is just surface rust where the factory stonechip has been damaged over the years, likely by 4 post lift attachments. 

Easily DIY fixable by -

1) wire wheel rusty bit back to bare metal. Get as much af the surface rust off as possible.

2) apply some rust converter to neutralise the bits you can't get rid of with the wire wheel - Hydrate80 or Krust - you might have something different in Norway. It's a blue liquid that turns black.
3) Apply a zinc or epoxy based primer to area worked on. 2 coats is enough

4) Use a product like Gravitex or similar to brush on stonechip paint. This is thicker stuff similar to what was used from the factory. You can leave it there or apply some body colour paint on top.

 

As for the lower engine picture the rust you see on the control arms and subframe is also superficial. You can drop the subframe and wishbones and get them sandblasted and powdercoated for a clean finish or you can just spray on a product like Lanoguard to stop it from getting any worse. Powdercoating does look nice but everything on cars rots inside out so all you're doing is making something look pretty for your mechanic. That said I have carried out powdercoating on my cars because i liked the clean look and work on them myself.  

 

Edit to add - whilst talking rust protection - do consider using cavity spray wax on all cavites and box sections to protect the car from rusting inside out.

I'm not sure, on the ClubGTI forum there is a guy called Rubjonny who knows his onions on this type of stuff. Stick a post up there?
