I like the shaved badges and non-branded grill.

Me likey! I used to think the Corrado's looked funny but they've been growing on me for a bit...

Good to hear there's another Corrado back on the road.
And an automatic at that. Congrats!

I wish it was an 5 speed but the auto will do for now!

I always liked the corrado. thought they were an awesome looking and handling car when they were new. It was one of those or my ti when I went shopping.

my wife hates it, but I freaking love it. Its been in WV waiting for me to come and bring it home to FL for almost 10 months. It'll be here within the month, God I can't wait!!!

Wait, it was a WV VW... ?

You put another auto into it? Crazy but at least it's back on the road.

yep its a West Virginia VW

Every time you post pics of that thing I like the colour more. Good to hear it's back on the road!
And I've had loads of fun in various automatics I've owned.

Well I'm departing FL at 4:25pm and flying to WV to if everything goes right, drive the Corrado home next FThursday and friday back to FL. I'll post pics of the car as I do the belts on it tommorrow.

Taking bets now!

LOL...

Does the sunroof work?

yep! as well as the spoiler! LOL!!! Today I replaced the Alternator pulley with the correct one as the PO had installed a new alternator and along with it the incorret pulley which had the SC belt 2 teeth too far toward the engine. Not to mention along with the smaller 68mm charger pulley the original length belt so the tensioner can't take out the slack and the thing runs like a$$ with no to little outout from the charger. The charger was rebuilt as it has a 12mm belt vs the OE 9. I'm gonna swap it out before I leave for FL just for piece of mind. I'll post pics in a bit. Tommorrow I'm installing a Vac/Boost Gauge so see how well the engine is running and also installing the Bahn Brenner RSR Outlet. Being here in WV is being productive for the 'Rado.

I'll post more pics tommorrow afternoon after the RSR Outlet and the correct serp belt are installed.

OH YEAH, ONE OF MY FRIENDS IS THE LOCAL TOWN COP HERE AND LOOK WHAT I FOUND ON MY DOOR WHEN I WOKE UP...LOL

No stop lights but they can afford impound stickers, nice ;)

lol!!!! small town humor...lol

UPDATE: So today I installed the correct alternator pulley and that RSR Outlet I got. Well something caused my heart to stop during the install. On the Silencer Box where the 4 bolts hold it together, the bottom 2 were gone thus leaking boost completely. Installed the RSR and OH MY GOD.... WOOOTTTTT!!!!! Still smiling, that thing is quick!!! Another Extraordinary Day here in WV

starting back to FL in the morning, if you see a purple Corrado broke down, stop if you can...LOL car seems to be running well and i expect no major issues, wish me luck!

Back in FL no probs,you owe me one ;)

Congratulations! Drive went ok I take it?

YEP! Uneventful trip. No issues at all! I need to get an Idle Adj. Screw as mine is missing causing an idle of 1200rpm.and it needs exhaust work, WAY TOO LOUD!!!
