mooG60 11 Posted July 3, 2017 Greetings all I've just registered after lurking for a few weeks. I've had a love of VDUBS ever since my first Golf GTi back in the 80's. Had a few others over the years but my MK1 series2 was the biggest love of my life ever!.......Black with ATS Cups and lowered Bose gas shocks! Anyways..... the other week I saw one extremely similar to mine and it brought back loads of memories. I started looking on the net at all the cars currently around and suddenly my love was re-ignited. Years of family life and work had taken my mind off something that I always had a huge passion for...... I guess you are all wondering why "this nub" is rattling on about Golfs in your beloved Corrado forum.......... .........Well, I own a G60 which I also liked a lot and had some fun in. But it was somewhat troublesome, and eventually one day it died and was left in the garage for 16 years. I decided that it was time to get it back on the road so I pulled it out from its shadowy grave(my garage). It didn't want to come out at first but with a little persuasion from my Audi it finally emerged. Surprisingly there is not a spot of rust anywhere which has given me a big boost in desire to get her running again. The car is complete and was in good mechanical order (running gear) before I took it off the road and I believe the motor itself is solid. The issue lies somewhere in the auxiliary parts, most likely the charger/fuel system which is not the end of the world. The problem is finding someone trust worthy and competent that will not screw me to the wall. I am probably dreaming............. I always loved the look of the Corrado which is why I ended up buying one. Sadly I never got to fully appreciate it at the time due to lack of time and the problems. But I think that if I get her running reliably I could easily fall in love with her. They are rather damn "Sexy" after all! Thanks for listening!

Geeba 0 Posted July 4, 2017 Good luck with the project ;) - nice that its been in a garage all these years rather than sat on a driveway rotting away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooG60 11 Posted July 4, 2017 Thanks for the welcome Guys! It's a bit of a roller coaster of a ride to be honest. Trying to decide the best coarse of action (or if I should even go ahead with it at all) seems to be taking up a lot of my time. I have not concentrated on work for 2 weeks and this morning I was definitely dreaming about a red Corrado before the alarm woke me up, I'm presuming it was mine :lol: Hopefully I will have some positive news to post up in the coming weeks. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
