MK1 G60 PROJECT ***coming back out to play**

Hi people

thought it was about time to show my progress of my mk1 which ive been building for the last year and a half.. after selling my old corrado g60 and mk1 g60 im gutted and i cant wait to get this on the road.im planning to have it finished for the edition 38 show at the end of august..
 
i have loads of pics from start to how it is now,but il try to narrow them down abit..

here we go..
this is when i first brought her, she was in excellent condition


then started the stripping  

i brought all brand new vag panels for her..,wings,tailgate and bonnet  
then started widening the arches to make way for my wheels (wheels in pic are my winter wheels)

heres my badboys  front 8x15 rears 9x15 with 195 tyres



plenty more to come on next post

then brought my new engine, g60 pushing out around 200bhp

and my 4+e mk2 rod change gearbox i will be running

after a bit of a clean up,paint,polishing and replacing the water pump,plugs,filter and many new parts it looks like this

fitted my konigsport coilovers

then prepping the body started


engine was removed and painted before body(bit dusty in pic)

body fully prepped waiting for paint



then came the paint


back at my garage (still lots to do)



then dropped engine in

built it up a bit more

That's looking excellent. I really like the fat arches  :y:

lovely work there… always do like black mk1's.

who did the spray job? It looks amazing.

as in last pic,16v servo+master cylinder stripped down and cleaned

got my new intercooler setup,room is tight and this should just fit..it comes with all pipe work and hoses from the charger to inlet also a slimline fan

also supersprint group A exhaust system (middle pipe has now been returned for a boxed pipe as i dont want it to be loud

car is currently at the trimmers im having corrado interior,we have just fitted back seats which were a right pain …  
im having a full butterscotch retrim including roof lining
also electric windows and mk4 polo dashboard
heres a pic of the front seats

and how she stands now


im replacing all the seals/rubbers with new items

its due out of the trimmers next week,so il get some pics then!!

the paint was done by border coachworks at thruxton (racetrack), there work is top quality, black is a hard colour to get right…

not to sure yet,a mate done it and hasnt invoiced it yet(and hopefully never does )

somewere over 1k i can imagine

colleccted it from the trimmers today…

heres a couple of quick pics…

i think it looks cool without bumpers,but its a bit late for that as i would of had the holes plated over

i havent put the front door cards on, as i am missing the small metal rods that go from the door catch to the door pins…




check the camper out in the background

very nice indeed, got any more detailed pics/info on the corrado rear bench?

I've got one to go in mine but haven't decided how to go about it yet….

Interior rocks :y:
