We are sad to announce that project beater will no longer continue. From the beginning it took off very fast and with allot of determination which quickly lost steam mainly due the fact that the body was just to far gone. After the clutch let go we moved on to other easier and quicker projects. We did learn allot from the little green corrado but it's time to move on.  Now a year later things have changed and we will be pulling the engine and trans to go into another Corrado thats in better shape and that will be daily driven.

Now for the good news, we have a new restoration project. This is also a 1990 Corrado G60 but is tornado red and with a very resortable body. Please follow along for the build up. 

Update 01-19-12           Project Beater Part 2

We still have project beater, our little green corrado. Originally we purchased this corrado for a swap into a MK2 16V GTI. Well after the clutch let go and we parked it for this purpose another corrado came along green also. This second corrado is in even worse shape than PB. In fact we purchased it for it's drivetrain only as the seller runs a mechanic shop and didn't have the title. So we purchased and saved PB for a little while longer as soon as we find a good body to swap PB's drivetrain into.

Update 01-19-12

Lets quickly go over whats been done to PB's drivetrain to where it is now with a bad clutch.

We replaced various items to make it reliable and faster.

Not one component did it all alone. Every part helped. There were key components that worked after other items were installed like the chip, when replaced power was immediately noticed to increase. At this time the clutch will be replace very soon and so will the suspension.  Details coming.
