thanks jv  :smiley:



mk1 golf long gone  :sad:but now after having several cars since the mk1 including a couple of mk2 and a mk3 seriously lost the passion for doing anything with the mk3 and just used as a family car.


ive now bought a corrado well a few months back

its in pretty good condition for the age (20 yrs old now) and for 500 i couldnt moan since the i have done a few mods

first was to get the car back to red instead of the pink it arrived in
then sort the rust out on the back
fitted coilovers and swapped the 90mm spoiler for a 50mm less scrapeing over speed humps
i ten fitted new rear lights and wheels new front grill ect i also bought some bling for the engine  :smiley:

lowered the subframes a little bit as the mk2 golf ones are higher than the rado ones so knocked a inch off alround hopefully this will be enough to sit right. bought a manifold to run carbs cant decide between 40s and 45s dash finally sent off
