The Nugget Yellow Corrado Archive

Recommended Posts

Well its been a while since I posted on here.. What with a new job n having to lay out for a Seat Diesel to get me to work.. My yellow G60 is still on the drive n getting better after only having her for 4 days or so a young lad hit me!!!!

 

She's all back together now n awaiting 1 man n his spary gun? Been hard to find somebody to do it. Cos its not insurance they know I'll want a top job doing. Also they moaned about sparying used panels!!!!!

 

Anybody know anyone good who can do it I live in Cheshire so the North West is fine.

OMG. Andy, your car is looking more awesome than ever.

The paintwork is so rich and with such an amazingly deep shine.

Enuff respect :notworthy:

Super-G - lots of trial and error involved in finding a combination of products that have given me a finish I'm happy with (for now), hope to improve it further over the winter - just time now rather than money

Would have been here sooner had I been able to upload this pic from work, but stoopid firewall stopped me.

 

History of the car: Not very well looked after by countless previous owners. Body work was in a mess & I have now got round to looking at that.

 

Since I got it a little under 2 years ago, fixed various issues and bills around £2500 give or take. I must be mad.

At least now, I can drive it on the road without something going wrong every day.

 

Plans: Fingers crossed, it's on the racetrack next year

 

Never seen another Nugget in Aberdeen or surrounding area yet

Hello everyone, at last I have found another Corrado and picked up my Nugget Yellow with black leather interior this afternoon. 95000 miles with every mot and tax disc with service history and a file of bills. What a great feeling driving it back home today :clap: Tried to put a photo on but with no success.
