C5 OEM 0 Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) Picked this up last night after a nice 4hr drive to bristol, its had 2 previous owners and fsh. The last owner bought it in 97 and treated it to a full glass out respray 8 months ago. Plans are to restore the leather with products from furniture clinic and refurb the wheels.I have osv`s old coilovers which i`ve cleaned up and so will improve the ride and lower it slightly. Luckily the car has been well looked after and everything works as it should so should be able to enjoy driving the car and restore replace parts when and where there needed.. Hope you like the pics after a quick clean up today.. 8) Edited April 28, 2013 by C5 OEM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VWVW 1 Posted April 17, 2010 Not another storm !!! They are getting a bit common now :) That looks great. Paintwork is gleaming in the sun....Will look a lot better lowered in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted April 17, 2010 You've really struck lucky with this car by the looks of it, looks very clean 8) Looking forward to seeing it, be careful driving it at the moment with the Volcano dust in the atmosphere its very dangerous for aircraft and your car is currently much higher than most aircraft ever reach :shock: Easily remedied :thumb right: Its such a shame the stock ride height on Corrados isn't more befitting a sports coupe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C5 OEM 0 Posted April 18, 2010 The car is still running on the original shocks and springs so i`m hopefull that the addition of the konigsports will improve the drive even more and obviously improve the looks... Coilovers fitted this week and then pull the interior out to clean and restore... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 7 Posted April 19, 2010 Awesome results. Football pitch effect on the carpets as well. Nice ! Good to see the under carpet padding seems to have survived. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
