Thought I'd introduce myself with a build thread ;D A few of you may already know me off some other forums Anyway - My '89 16v How I bought it, completely standard with a recon engine: Since then it's had a new engine from an Audi 80 (the recon one chewed itself up, thanks VW! ), G60 trim all round, Corrado front, Recaro's, harnesses, coilovers, bike carbs, Borbets, 2 new gearboxes (recon one blew up on the Nurburgring thanks again VW! ) G60 brakes, amongst plenty of other stuff! Plenty of story to go with it but I won't bore you, I'll let the pics do the talking Purists sheild your eyes - how it looks now/has looked over the years; And in its current state It was never as spotless as it looks in the first pic, don't worry but it's now rusty as hell all over so I'll be reshelling it sometime next year

I only ever poked fun at sheep and corrected anything technical ever posted because it's nearly ALWAYS wrong! Guess they didn't like it much

The story is somewhat more interesting on there than just a quick intro I feel Wanna buy a KR, I've got 3 spare knocking about And yeah, I've seen proper 'rado fronts before, much too much work though, it's been enough of a ballache with just the headlights!

Cool And if you break down you always have a spare engine ;D It reminds me of the "durocco" built a fews years back in the States which used 2 16v lumps www.durocco.com/This vid of it cracks me up
