Awsome bud!! Lovely car now!! Personally I'm not a fan of the wheels, rota grids would look epic but they do cost..

[ross k]

yeh the wheels are a sort of stop gap until i can afford schmidt modernlines or bbs splts but cant justify spending more than that car on rims at the moment

Not too shabby...I'm following and was gonna say it needs some BBS

Get saving!!!!

[ross k]

haha i may be saving a long time think tax and insurance come first not to bad seen so many cheap though and better than this one since but hey ho

[Chance]

It's looks good now and like you say tax, insurance and drive the thing!!!

SORTED

[ross k]

yep im working on it but tax doesnt come cheap on this bad boy around 240 a year

update been working on the car all day and feel like im finally getting somewhere started of by sorting the rear sunroof drains this meant whipping the bumper of which i was suprised about how easy it was pics

once that was sorted i set about fitting the boot lid trim

then i fitted the boot carpet parcel shelf supports and parcel shelf also sorted the parcel shelf string with some white wire for the moment as a temporary measure but it doesnt look to bad


also refitted the corrado cill strips but forgot to take pics in the boot should their be trim over the part where you can still see the blue or do i need to paint it white thanks ross

well update absolutely gutted organized a deal on some wheels which were 16 x9 and 16x8 deep dish bbs would have looked great but the guy messed me around and let me down so back to square one Ive just brought a set of five spoke 17s with good tyres for £60 they will bolt straight on so gonna put them on and save up for some nice rims and sell the other thanks ross

Great cars Corrados. I have had 2 , a 1.8 valver and a VR6. One of the most undervalued cars you can buy.

[ross k]

ahh thats cool seem to be getting rarer now havent seen many around anyway

update decided to buy some cheap rims with tyres to bung on for now so i can save for some nice ones so brought these for 60 pound and pretty happy only ones curbed and they have nearly new federal tyres on and they bolt straight on

also put the back seats back in and its starting to look like a car again

finally painted the spoiler black not sure but can always re paint it comments welcome
