Mike's Corrado G60

Recommended Posts

Picked up this from US - leather steering wheel from a SLC (VR6 equiv).

 

Will try it to see what it looks like fitted then make my mind up. Makes a nice change to the usual OE and it's in extremely good condition:

Hi Mike. Just stumbled upon this Thread. Very interesting Sir! :afro:

Have you done anything else to her since you last update?

Would be nice to see some recent pics and maybe a few of the rest of your stable too.

Health to Drive! :D

Very nice G60 you got. And nice additions too, if I may add.

Let's see a few pics of the interrior after the seats, stereo etc.

 

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments :)

 

A few updates:

 

From left to right, Recaros for MK2 and Recaros for G60. Both are very clean sets.

Will be putting some tax on this shortly and then see what Id like to do next.

 

This video has urged me to get it out for a spin.

 

 

A pic taken at Dubshed a year or so ago.

 

Aiming to get some tax on this during the month and get out on road.

Just a small update.

 

Most importantly, I still have the G60 :) Well in fact last year I added another "60" in the form of a VW Rallye (SE UK original) so I guess chargers are firmly embedded in the garage now :)

I'm now considering upgrading the head of the engine. Nothing too wild but a nice polish and ported version. Open to any advice on same.

 

I'm also considering a wheel change or rather to go back to its OE BBS wheels or swap onto BBS RSs (16). I guess my only concern is I always think the 15s originally fitted look a little lost under the arches.

 

Lastly, I'm also considering replacing the side bump strips. Struggling to find a really clean set but I think the Red Corrados can look better with the contrasting black strip.

Hi Mike,

I agree, My G60 is Flashrot, and I keep the Black bump strips. Without the car looks too tall, and that we cannot have ;)

Nice Rallye ;)

 

Cheers,

Redfox ;)
