My Corrado G60

[OEM G60]

Hi Gavin, can't make my mind up on that one but probably yeah.

I'm thinking i'll rebuild the charger, then install the FMIC and rad.

I should put an oil cooler in there while i'm at it too.

Did either of your G60's run smaller pulleys ? What chip(s) did you have ?

Nice to see you fettling this one back to mint condition Matt. I look forward to seeing it completed!!

So if you are doing the body, is the motor getting some chip and pulley love, to go with the Rallye IC?

Getting there, side repeaters deleted and smoothed ....



Rear Wiper deleted and smoothed....



Rear 8x17 RS 301 with half height centre cap and 195/40/17 PZero's, these rims were brand new (unused) until '04 ! So they still have the original BBS paint on the centres and barrels. Stroke of luck as BBS only made 200 sets of them !

Your attention to detail sounds amazing. Even more excited for these pics now once you're done

May as well hey !!
I couldn't stand putting all the old worn out faded seals/trims back on, some of the fogs and indicators had small cracks, griil looked old and etc etc, next to the new paint all those parts would let it down i reckon, its an expensive game, and some of the parts are hard to come by. so many parts are now obsolete, bits have came from all over the place !
I want it looking mint basically, can't wait to start putting back together and getting the RS 301's on.

Hi mate, its getting done at a small place in Glen Waverley, i went all over the place trying to find someone then stumbled across this guy, 5 minutes walk from my house ! I'll see how it looks before i go recommending him, but i have seen his work and it looked awesome, he uses the best products and is very fussy.
I jacked my job in at Burwood and got another a bit closer in Clayton now so i can cycle to work btw !

[Jarred]

Nice matt.

where abouts are you getting the spray done? (IYDMMA)

[OEM G60]

Popped down to see the progress today, rear screen is out, rear quarters are out, no need to take the windscreen out as the trim will come off for painting a nice one will be going back on.
My spare room is starting to fill up with parts, still waiting on more though.

He forgot to fill up the side repeater holes, so thats being done tomorrow.
In 2 weeks it should be ready for putting back together ......

Hi mate, i bought the Rallye cooler in the UK for 350 quid before i came over here, just havn't bothered putting it in yet. G-Werks have all the pipework available.
They are still available new from VW, but the Radiators are obsolete, mine came from ARZ Tuning.

What did the Rallye FMIC cost you if you dont mind me asking ?

Good luck with the rust, lets hope yo dont discover any more any where else.

Big box of goodies !!
