Well what a long day, story for the past few weeks, closer look into the corrado the floor is rotten and will cost to much to bring back :cry:

So now it's going to turn into mk3 golf G60,

Started today with the brakes so it's now sporting Brembos of a Ibiza mk3 cupra R there 305s will add pics later

Next job is to strip the engine new water pump cambelt etc, then fit it

Some people mite say why you fitting a g60 engine with 160 bhp well it's had a fair few pounds at G Werks spent on it and in the corrado was running 265 bhp,

Well that's the story so far il keep u updated

Sad times for the 'rado :cry:

Although a 265bhp G60 in a mk3 will be pretty epic :cool:

Sad news on the Corrado but it will be an epic mk3 Golf with that kind of power.

Well what a fun day  :rolleyes:

The disks on the brembo's where catching on the bottom ball joint so we came up with the idea of using the corrado hubs (corrado was running vr6 hubs) so after stripping them off the radio, the first attempt at putting them on the mk3 wasent as stright forward as we thought. So after a few hours and some modding all is on and running sweet.

Because of the radio hubs it has widened the track about 20mm and brought the front wheels slighty forward and the end resault looks fantastic :)

I only took a before and after pic as we didn't have time to stop and take any.

Is that one left and one right wheel? Or are the calipers on different sides of the hubs?
