Equipment: -Air con -2-way Power sunroof -Red dot interior -Power windows -Cruise control -Tilt steering wheel Heres a little story about the car and how i got it: Back in the 90's, the car was purchased from the Speedway (former Vw, Subaru and Mazda dealer. Nowadays only Subaru) at Indianapolis, Indiana. The original owner who was a Swedish family living in the U.S, ordered the car with a km/h speedo because they knew that they were going to take the car back to sweden with them some day. In 2002, the corrado arrived in Stockholm Sweden. If i have understood it right, the original owner sold the car to his son in 2004-2005. 2009 the original owners son sold the car to a Finnish guy who lived in Sweden who almost immediatly moved back to Finland and took the car with him. He registered and serviced the car, and didn't really use it. I first saw the car in 2009 and i loved it, but i was underaged and didn't have any money at the moment. Summer 2010 the car came back to sale, and i had the money so i went and bought it. Best part of this is the mileage: 76500km or 47500ml. I have manymany documents that proves its the right mileage. I even have the original buying receipt, all the registration and insurance papers in the U.S, Sweden and Finland. I basicly have all the documents you could ever wish to have. Im trying to keep it in the same or even in a better condition it was, because its quite rare car here in Finland. And if im right, its the only nugget yellow in here. ------------------------------------2011------------------------------------- So i went and bought a D2 street coilovers and corvette wheels, which are under polishing atm. Pretty simple things, but last year i didn't drove it at all but this past summer I've been driving it like hell. Everyday to work and even went to a watercooled vweekend, which is a fvwa's (finnish volkswagen association) event and my corrado won "The best scirocco/corrado" prize. I'll add some more pics of the wheels when they are ready. ------------------------------------2012------------------------------------- Corrado was pretty much hardparked the hole year. Didn't have money to drive on maintain it at all. ------------------------------------2013------------------------------------- Okay, so im currently redoing all brake stuff, wheel bearings, all the bushings and joints. Also got new hubs, which i will convert to 5x100 pattern so i can run a larger scale of rims. Mostly just trying to take good care of it and of course drive it as much as i can. Feeling quite sorry for her (yes yes i kmow) because i have left it sitting for so long. And for the autumn and winter, im planning some bodywork and respray with the original color+clearcoat for the über shine. |
