Information / Adjustments :

Damage to the bumper, rebar, fogs/turns, radiator, ac condensor, one headlight, fan shroud and fans, upper and lower radiator support.
I got the car back running for a while and then the head gasket went. So in January of 2006, a friend at BMW, who is also a corrado owner, and another friend helped with replacing the timing chains, headgasket, water pump and the majority of the cooling system plastic pieces.

Currently the car has a g60 bumper, radiator support, fogs/turns and headlights. Had to go with this since the car was daily driven for about 8 months after my mk2 died.

My daily now is a 98 jetta glx, so the corrado hasnt seen much of the road lately, with a bad o2 sensor, bad inner tie rod and an exhaust leak from hell!
The friend from BMW had an issue with his corrado, so he offered to fix a few of the issues if he could drive it while fixing his own car (headgasket).
So the inner tie rod has been replaced, exhaust leak fixed, new fan installed, and more goodies are on the way!

Once his car is finished, Ill be tearing this thing back apart to make it what I really want in a corrado.
