Hey everyone!

Recommended Posts

Just thought id say hello! and that im new to owning a Corrado.

 

a little bit about my past volkswagens;

 

I originally started out with a 1986 GTI, it was quite a pile.

sold that and picked up a 91 GTI VVV

it was an obd1 VR swapped GTI, pretty much everything from a corrado except the shell itself.

Just sold that and picked up a 78 rabbit for $600, pretty good price for the miles.

and just last week I picked up my first corrado, a black G60 with ~120k miles, for $1800. doesnt look that great, but ive got some plans. VR swap within two weeks. :]

I have the stock sebring wheels that will be going on it, so ignore the different wheels.

welcome! why swap for a VR though? supercharging?

I'm thinking the same... You know you'll need to get the VR6 subframe for the mounting points and run it with a larger wheelbase? also the bonnet will need to be replaced. You may as well start with a cheep VR6?

 

Although, I do like the look of the early cars in comparison to the newer ones... you doing it just for the looks?

Well, Having a vr6 and then going to a stock g60 just doesn't feel right to me. I've got connections to parts so I figured I'd swap a vr into it, I'm keeping the 4 lug setup but everything else is being swapped over to vr. Eventually I will supercharge it.

quick update. these are what wheels will be going on the car, 16x7.5 front and 16x8 rear, 3 piece epsilons :].

 

stoked to see the final result.

 

also, G60 engine is out, and the VR is waiting to go in.
