1990 Volkswagen Corrado Additional Info:

I am sure I will forget stuff done to the car but ill try to hit all the points.
Body:
No rust but definitely not perfect. Has a big dent in the front passenger fender and door dings here and there. This is where the car is most lacking and probably needs a good body shop but the base is there and it can be made right as it has no big damage or rust anywhere. Paint is faded.

Notes:
What does not work:
Auto seat belts don't work I pulled power and used them like manual seat belts to avoid any trouble. Interior is pretty nice but not perfect. The wing is functional but needs to be tied into the speedometer as it use to be an ABS car that I swapped to non ABS and the ABS triggers the wing on ABS cars. Its an easy fix I just never cared to do it. Sunroof tips but does not go back.
What works:
Everything pretty much works other then the stuff above. Audio/CD player/speakers work all gauges are functional and tied to the Megasquirt for accurate data. Speedo is mechanical and RPM is triggered from a custom circuit off of the Megasquirt.



Final thoughts:
This car is a blast to drive it makes 311WHP/246WTQ pretty effortlessly and could certainly make more power but I was not willing to push the trans any more then that as its very fun to drive.
The car comes with another hood as the one on the car is jacked up. This car is a killer with some TLC into the body and a paint job.
