Hi,
I have been lurking around on VAGE for the last month or so but it seems that this is now the place to be!!!

I collected my car from the UK a few weeks ago so I don't have any good pics yet, only the one from the ad, I'll take some over Christmas.

This is my third Corrado I had a Pearl Green 16v and a Burgandy G60 I also had a Rallye which I imported from Belgium in '97 (I miss that the most)

Anyway here's some pics.

Cheers
Dusty

Nice looking car. I think that's the best colour and wheel combo for an early corrado.

This is getting beyond a joke, we must have most of the corrados in Ireland on here at this stage.

Think I've seen you over on the corrado forum have I?

Yep, spend far too much time on there..

 

[ronan]

nice corrado, what happened to the rallye?

 

[markmcie]

The c look well kept. Any mods ?

 

[Alfaguy]

Hi and welcome Dusty - mind me asking where you managed to find it? I have never driven a Corrado before

- must dig out my tyre kicking shoes soon to rectify that.

Hi Dusty, Welcome to the site

 

[Dusty]

Cheers Lads,

I found the car in the UK via Autotrader.co.uk, I got a mate over there to look at it, he gave it the green light so I bought it and stored it at his house untill I went over. By the time I saw the car I'd already owned it for 5 weeks!

First thing I did was take it to Darren in G-werks for a stage4 charger rebuild since it has 95k on the clock and there was no evidence that it had been done before.

I have a 68mm pulley and an SNS no lag chip to fit in the new year, along with an oil cooler, red/clear rear lights and a few other bits and pieces.

When I got it the interior was filthy, the leather was more brown than grey, there is a thread here with pics. (might have to login to see pics tho

)

Hope to meet a few of you next year, might make it up to Portlaoise on the 8th.

Cheers
Dusty

I sold it when I knew I was moving to Ireland, didn't fancy LHD on all the narrow country roads, Bought a Mk3 GTI instead, regret it now of course

Christ Dusty that was some ammount of work!!!!

 

[Dusty]

Some pics I took the other day

 

[benkenobi]

i really like the clear rear lights suits the dark colour of the raddo and really
gives the car a modern look nice job

 

[junior]

[rmn]

Pic of the lights from the back

 

[benkenobi]

yea they look goodthere (ill have to look into a set) a nice lupo rear wiper on there and its mint

 

[Dusty]

Actually I need a new rear wiper motor. There is huge play in the existing motor, you can move the wiper halfway across the rear window before you meet any resistance!

 

[Bora210]

Very nice car. Have I see you around the Wicklow town area?

 

[enda1winger]

Nice motor dusty, gettin really jelous now

where did ya pick up the rear lights and how much, i was thinking of putting the same on my grey g60.
