Andy's 16v Corrado (finally back in a Golf)

[Rhyso]

How is it ruining it?

Every man and his dog fits a 1.8T to a MK2

There is a reason for that 

Yup. Its called 'lack of imagination'

Sooooo...........................

Moving on from the engine debate, I'm continuing with the bodywork issues. The paint is very tired as previously stated and the plastics are a bit "faded" too 

Got some "forever black" for the plastics and some auto finesse "triple" for the paintwork. I think it came out pretty good 


Forever black applied





And finally the auto finesse 

[Andy-H]

The car had two dodgy panels, the tailgate & the passenger door. Found some rot free ones from a guy breaking one locally and brought them back to prep for paint.



Fortunately the new boot had also got the wiper/washer hole deleted so it saved me a job

Sent them to paint, got them back and fitted them on (old panels on the floor)



Really pleased how the smooth tailgate looks  

[Andy-H]

Oh, and I popped these on

[Andy-H]

Update...

Removed aerial hole in wing.....



Replaced fubar front engine mount.....



Started tidying the boot out......



.......and gave it another "post bodyshop" clean

[Andy-H]

I did another buy 

[Andy-H]

So I still have the golf. I sold the coupe though.
I did an engine swap to an abf which was awesome




But with the COVID issues everywhere I got bored. Sold the ABF and now nearly finished doing this.

[Andy-H]

Oh, and to replace the coupe I bought another corrado 





Made sure it was a VR this time

[Agreeable Slick]

This really makes me miss my old valver.

Looks mint with it's new friend.

[Andy-H]

Cheers bud. Got a couple of little niggles to finish on the Mk2 but need a ramp for that. The corrado is very much a work in progress but I’ll get there 🤞🏼😂
