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. So this is for you guys!!!! The car also placed 3d at the 2008 waterfest in NJ and 1st at the 2008 dubs on the boards in wildwood,NJ!!!!!frapes007's 1990 Volkswagen Corrado
