This is a long going build finally coming to an end. The ground up restoration of this corrado G60 took a year and it will be done by the end of september 2006. The interior is all done- pics to follow. The exterior is all done and I will submit some pictures of that to start things off. The engine is being completed as we speak by Schimmel perfomance, and it will be a vr6 3.0 long block swap with a lot of upgraded parts and an estimated 200 whp and 200 pounds of torque....##@@**^^%%??<<....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just added two pictures from the 16th annual fall show and go in N.J. where i placed 3d in the highly modified Corrado class and the picture of the trophy..Also just added a few more pictures on page 9 from the 08 dubs on the boards show.If you also notice on the new picture all the carbon fiber is gone except the hood. I could not seem to get the hard core vw guys to appreciate the car otherwise.
