My VW's (Corrado & Golf gti)
Discussion
Hi just joined up and thought this would be a good place to introduce myself and post up a couple of pictures of my cars.
firstly my Corrado, its a 1990 16v that i have owned for just over a year now. The car is almost totally standard with the only modifications being some lowered suspension and a 280mm momo race steering wheel. Since i have owned the car most of my work has been in overhauling the mechanics with new brakes/suspension/exhaust etc etc as the car has covered just over 185k miles now but is still going strong and a joy to drive:
The pictures were from a photoshoot i had to do for some promotional stuff for work:
and one with me (not quite as nice as the model im afriad ):
My other car is a 1991 golf gti 8v which i bought a couple of weeks ago to do up as a project, I will probably end up giving this one to my mrs to try and encourage her to get a bit more into the cars so she does not moan about the Corrado as much. The car has all the toys you expect for a late gti (ps, leccy windows etc) and came with mot, tax and a cat1 alarm all for £150!! It does need a bit of tlc though as the head gasket has gone but im realiably informed this is not to major on an 8v:

Yellow was a massively underated colour on the Corrado. I think they discontinued it pretty quickly.
Head gasket - can do that yourself in an afternoon. Buy a genuine VW head gasket and a headgasket set from GSF and use everything but the head gasket from that.
The girlie looks
Was she nice or did she love herself?!

Cheers for the advise on the head gasket, will do that!
Didnt really get much chance to chat with the girls but apparently they where all staff at a sister company of ours!

Yeah the colour is definatly a bit of a "marmite" one, i was not even sure myself when i bought the car but its grown on me and i love it now. I have been told its pretty rare.Head gasket - can do that yourself in an afternoon. Buy a genuine VW head gasket and a headgasket set from GSF and use everything but the head gasket from that.
