Biggerbigben - Golf sold.. another new project!

Recommended Posts

PhatVr6,

 

By ARB you mean after market rear boxes?? If so they are powerflow boxes, which I know is not the best make but it was the difference taking the car 1/2 hr down the road and 4hrs..

 

Its a 2.5" bore, was going to be 3" but too much ££

Ben

http://www.dubland.co.uk 8) Think the site is down yet again because of the amount of peeps downloading the pics. I've gone way over bandwidth this month. My limit is 1GB a month and I was on 1.95GB's when the providers took it off line. Going to change providers soon as its starting to annoy me!

Just took a few pics of the corrado before I finish her off, got the interior to fit and it needs mapping. Hoping to have it complete by the 24th July for the Castle Combe track day.

 

I need to get the rear bumper re-painted as the car slipped back and scratched the paint on the way back from Inters, :(

Lovely car. That is all you need to do to a Corrado because they just look so good. KISS theory perfectly executed!!

Thanks for all the comments; unfortunately I'm going to have to raise the height a bit for everyday use. I have the added problem of the 1.8T sump lying very low and its ally so caution is going to be needed or maybe a SS sump guard would be the trick. Anyhow I'm pleased with the outcome, simple is best in my opinion and that’s how I vision’d the car and thus how I’ve built it, on the outside at least! The interior will be a bit more crazy but that’s going to stay under wraps for the time being while I learn how to re-trim.. :shock:

 

Btw the rear could be dropped another 50mm easy if the wishbones permitted it, because Mk1 Golf rear coilovers had to be used, however because of the camber problem, (which can’t really be seen in the pictures) I need to raise the rear to sort that problem, ultimately the wishbones will require modifying to remove the camber.

 

P.S. The colour is Porsche Iris Blue.

 

cheers, ben
