From start to finish about 4 months working on it almost every day,,, I have a lot more pictures but just chose a few to give you and idea,,

 

The rechoming was probably the most expensive part , worth it in the end ....

Yeah and these are the details most people scrimp on when do restorations ,

But it looks as if you have done a top job ! Good colour too !

[MikeFish]

The paint looks amazing Roy.

Needs some wheels spacers on the rear though! (Where's the flaming smiley faces gone?)

[Roy]

Dont think they do wheel spacers mate not got enough spare thread on the hub anyway,,

 

would love some white walled tyres for it cant find any anywhere

I do not think it should have spacers anyway Roy, the whole point of the restoration was surely to return it to its original state??

I found a link about white wall tyres, didn't dog far though as I have no idea of the specs you have. Hope it may help though.

Many thanks Oz,

 

would not put them on anyway..........

This is something else Roy, I've spent loads of time on the Corrado and would love to take it to this level!

Thanks Steve,

 

Very kind of you to say mate,

 

it was a labour of love and the job I had at the time I could almost do by phone so I could spend all day on it helping out

 

running bits and pieces here there and ordering bits so it was full on for a few months 

[MikeFish]

I was only kidding about the spacers and couldn't find any emoticons on my ipad!

[Roy]

I did gather that Mike 

[T-800]

I must've been hearing things then.

Thought someone mentioned a Corrado.
