Why you build a Corrado like that with all time and money into it and leave a 170hp g60 engine the worst volkswagen engine... the Belgiums need to learn how to smooth the engine bay and hid some of the wire... No Edition 38 car!!!!

It was going so well until I saw the dashboard and the fully smoothed front bumper. Still flipping awesome though, what wheels are those?

What an utter waste of time and money that was.

Unless you consider it 'art', in which case it's a laudable exercise in creating a large and very beautiful purse or clutch bag.

Purses and clutch bags are for girls.

Can someone remind me of the Porsche connection that validates the builder sticking on and stitching in lots of Porsche logos?

And don't anyone say 'Porsche owns VW', cos they didn't when that car was built.

Putting Porsche badges on a VW makes you look like you were aiming high and missing badly.

Don't even get me started on the rollcage......

Lovely car, in the vein of Sweetland's G2...... just impossible to recoup the value of the build if you want to sell it, cos it's still just some old VW....

"When I was young I was a liberal now I'm alot older I'm a hatin conservative!" :laugh:

Don't care if some think thats a waste of money or not, but the time and effort put into that sums up the perfectionist in him to get that right and thus so far, even got to finish it.
No one can take that from the chap what a start to finish you might not like the chaps taste, but you God have to respect him! :cool:
