nah, i wish it was the same car though. that woudl save me a ton of money. but, the 1993 will just be alot cooler. heck, if ONLY the interior were changing, it would be a million times better.

also, i won't fall on this hood. that "mod" was limited to the 1992 ONLY. funny you should mention it though: if you look in the pics, you can see the "band-aid" on the hood of the '92... that's how you can tell them apart.

weak .. no lambo doors ?

[mikemcnair]

actaully i am doing siuicide lambo doors. but i have to get all of the neonz in first, then the lined for my NAWZ. it will take a while, but as long as i don't have danger to my manifold, this car should rip.

Whatever you do, don't blow the welds on your intake manifold.

fresh paint, no dents, and same color = me happy....

oh, and the 93 interior is da bomb!!!! 92 looks too "dated" for me.

my dream car was always a 93+, and i had a chance to finally get one, so i jumped on it. BUT, i wanted the VRT still, so i knew it would be alot of work, but worth it. plus, this new car has a fresh motor too.

yeah, it is a trade of sorts. too hard to explain, but it is spoken for. sorry.

[andylyco]

Well, if nobody else is going to say something....

Dude, that's a kitchen sink. It will probably only add unnecessary weight to the car. Plus, where will you store the water and effuse? You'll most likely have to remove your back seat to make enough space.
I think you should put the old Corrado back together and go back to doing what you know best; falling down.

thank you for the insiteful speach, but you are WAY off!!!.. this picture was to illustrate my flooring and heeting options, not the sink. you see, i am going Pergo in the floor of the car, and using base board heet so i never need to worry about the heeter core. duh!

go back to being rich in the desert, driving yer fancy carz. leave the REAL Corrado HEET and FLOORING to the pro's on the "right coast"

I was just going to say..

Looks good! The project not the sink! Geeze!

Fancy cars? Rich in the desert? My garage at the moment:

Now would a rich guy in the desert have to do his own clutch job on his 140K mile 91 Cabriolet, with his 14 yr old Corrado just sittin' there all dusty and crap??? I think not. Plus, with those harsh, cold PA winters, I think you should skip the Corrado baseboard heat and use a 500K BTU Reddi-heater in the trunk. Just my $.02. Let me know how that works out for you.
Oh, and Dubwars is July 8 in Cali; are you going to drive this "new" 93 out here to visit me?
