I am looking into importing a Corrado

[Tim]

if it is pre 89 then you can bring it in. You just need to apply for import approval first.
Anything built on the first of jan 89 or later has to be owned for over 12 months overseas or needs to be imported under SEVS

Converting one to rhd would be a biiiig job though wouldnt it

probably a quite involved job. twas made in RHD though, so there ain't no geuss work or custom parts, should be able to swap straight over to rhd with all the bits I tend to think.

i'd geuss there's been a few in the UK that've been cnverted...

As Tim said, being pre '89 it could be shipped.
Conversion wise, you could source a dash and mirrors on the UK Corrado forum pretty easily, put it in the car and send it all over.
The majority of work would be the electrics, G60JAY would be the man to talk to, he converted that LHD VR6 pretty quickly, and hes in Brisbane Jmac.

Do it !!

Oh yeah no probs getting bits Carpoid , hurdle for me was just getting one in mate hmmmm, interesting. The cogs really are going, even a couple of good MK2ss maybe.
Been thinking of doing a project, may have to look into that now

whats your budget for these cars? be prepared to fork out a lot of pocket money

[Jarred]

If you ever broswe through streetmachine, this months would be a good time to have a good read through - They have an article on importing cars (from the US0 but as the rules are the same for imports, its a decent and informative read...

[G60JAY]

It does make a good way of getting them in. As long as you don't mind the work doing the conversion. The worst bit is the wiring!

I guess the Corrado was released in Germany in '88 then, i never realised that before, the first right hand drive (16V) ones in the UK were '89 though.

How are your Corrado's going Jay?? I take it you got the VR registered without too much trouble??

All going fine. I'm in the UK at the moment so missing them. I've not seen 1 on the road yet. They must be all disappearing! Should see a few at gti inters though!
Got the vr6 registered no problem. All in all it worked out well.
How is it going in Melbourne?

[OEM G60]

Hi mate, Melbournes going good, a change is good, i do miss those country roads though !! Its cold here!!

Weather has not been good so far. Hope it's just a late summer!
I seem to remember a press car for sale a few years back. It was a late 88 rhd 16v. I was tempted to buy it but seemed a bit expensive at the time.

[VR6 STORM]

Mate,

I have got my VR6 Storm registered here now after brining her in as a personal import, so if you need any advice or help let me know. She is a RHD so a bit easier.
I have also bought my MK1 Golf GTI with me to and that is nearly cleared for rego now. Took her for her compliance inspection last week. Just one report to be written on the Turbo Techncis install then she is ready for her second and last visit to be signed off.

Cheers
