Great stuff so far man! Will you be changing anything, like new Alloys etc?

The alloys are having a refurb, I really think they suit the car so keeping them, got loads of shiny bits to go back on as its rebuilt.

It had a Black leather Corrado interior so that's going back in.

Sounds good man! I'm not a particular fan of the rims, but its your ride and  that's what counts :) Keep up the good work!

I am pretty sure the rims were imported from Japan, I bought them off a guy who built a mk1 G60 show car (it was Cadbury's purple), he had them on for one season, then changed them for the next, they were immaculate when I got them off him. They are badged Seneka and I am pretty certain they are made by a company called Kosei. They are super rare, and I like them....

Leather door cards arrived today, they are in excellent condition, better than expected to be honest!

The seller left speakers and tweeters on them too, thought I would take them off but they look really good, well happy!  :grin:

Haven't really done anything to take pictures of, although I did drive it out the garage while sat on a bucket so I could sweep the pit boards where its been sat for months  :grin:

Got a couple of little parts through the post, I am trying to get everything ready for the rebuild after its had its top coats, bound to need other things though!!!

Ordered a leather repair kit too as there has been a slight tear in the drivers seat since I bought the Corrado interior 15 years ago!
