FS - MK1 G60 conversion.




well, It looks like I am going to have to get rid of the mk1. I hate to do
it, but the twins just don't fit into the back and we need something that
will haul the family around.

The MK2 is just a little bigger and so it gets to stay...

This is more of a feeler to see if anyone in the north west is interested.
I haven't decided exactly what to do with it yet.  I might finish fixing it
up over the summer and then sell it, or I might just end up stripping it
down and parting it off.

The good stuff on the car:

'78 MK1  Corrado Wine color (kind of purple color that was on the special
editions up here)

Complete G60 transplant.  
160,000 KM on the engine. 
1,100 KM on the super charger
Super charger just rebuild by Kompressor Canada (awesome job).  Had the
stage 4 port and pollish done at that time as well (check out
http://www.kompressorkanada.ca/glader/rebuild.htm)
260 cam
ISV reroute
Ralley charger Outlet
68mm pulley installed (I have a 65mm ready to go, but did not want to
install it until the charger was fully broken in - now I just have to find
time)
3.5 Bar fpr

G60 inter cooler installed where the bat. used to be, with a nissan 280
hood scoop.
Battery in alum. box in the hatch.

15 Inch roh rims with avid h4's on them (3 months old)
Full 3" exhaust with Remus muffler
4-1 header
Optima Red Top battery
Zender front grill
euro head lights (real hella both low and high - all 4)
Zender Rear wing
Custom fit ABD front spoiler
Custom fit ABD side skirts
Kamie mk2 rear skirt (cut down to fit)
4 point harness
Autometer air/Fuel
Autometer Boost g.

There is more but I can't think of it right now

some of the bad stuff.

Cancer.  At some point in its life someone hung this car up on a median.
The under carage is really dented.  One of the previous owners has cut out
the driver side and welded in straight steal.  Works fine, but does not
look stock from underneath :)  

The pass side was left alone and it has rusted out.  Someone fiber glassed
in the pass side from the top.  It is solid. I coated it with Por15 to make
sure it would not spread while I decided what to do with it.  It should
have the floor pans cut out and someone weld in some nice ones.

Interior is missing.  Everything has been stripped.  Headliner, seats, etc.
It has a dash and a mk2 recaro (the grey ones with the recaro stitching)
and that is it.  No pass seat, no back seat. Kind of noisy with the exhaust
that way.

If anyone is interested I will try to get some pics posted for you.

It is a blast to drive.  Real quick from 2nd through 5th.
