I though it was time to share my latest car project, keeping it to back to my roots of a TDI VW!
A classic White VW Corrado, she was built in 1989, so one of the early ones!
Originally 1.8 16V, when I got it 3 or so years ago she was a NONE runner project, which had been bought as an unfinished project! At some point a 1Z 1.9TDI unit had been fitted straight from a '96 Passat
I'd got it running in that form fairly well, but decided to go for a PD 130 ASZ unit going it, as the 90 Brake engine worked well but know it could be better!
I was hoping to add a couple pictures as soon as I work out where to host them since Photobuckets cut back without paying!
I'll be honest I've not taken as many pictures as normal, instead I've started a rather small YouTube channel which seemed a good idea at the time being easier filming and getting on with it but takes loads of time putting together one video!
Out of respect for not taking away forum traffic I'm not going to link to the channel - all I can say there's not many TDI Corrados conversions on there and I'm way further on than any Video I've published, and I'm no Presenter/ Vlogger!!
The End Goal
I'm swapping the 130PD engine, with 6 speed 02M manual gearbox, with an attempt of also getting factory VW ESP working!!
The bonus if I get that far, would be A/C working
Then aiming to get mega high MPG figures in a retro chassis
