hello mate :) i was wondering who owns this, seen some shots of it on a site i cant remember last night.
its weird i should come across it today.
my favourite mk1 ive seen, well done :)

few questions, how were the konigsports when you had them on?
and do you still have them? if so, would you sell them?

also about the rear red lights, been looking on a few german sites but cant find exactly which one supplies them, can you tell me?

thanks for any help.

cheerz for the comments guys.and the pics :D

the engine is now out of the car for a wee bit of smoothing and it wont be back on the road till the ed38 show…

___________________________________

de3660 sorry only just seen your questions..

as for the corrado seat conversion..

there is quite a bit of work envolved, the frame work needs to be cut on the back of the seat to get the right angle and so the brackets sit down flush to the car…
on the bottom, alot of foam needs to be shaved off, to get the seat to sit flat and flat metal trays had to be made for it to bolt to the car…
then you need to make infills to cover the gap between the seat and side cards as the corrado bench is narrower than the mk1 bench…this was made out of foam with wooden bases …

the exhaust is a custom system with a 2 and a half inch bore

i sold the konigsports when the airride was fitted

hope that helps  

quick pic that i like from u/d

thanks for replying :)
well all the work on the seats definatly paid off, they suit the car so well.

i cant believe it just seems so easy for you: "engine out for some smoothing" lol. like it needs it  :mrgreen:

well good luck for future :)
