Here's the Facebook page for anyone looking for it

NICE!

did you pre-warn them?

$$$ says that the $30,000 value of car + restoration goes way over budget

[Tk2g60]

I was the 999th like on their fb page. Who's gonna be the 1000th. Thanks again for the link can't wait to see the process. Can they manage to keep it in their 30,000 dollar budget...... Stay tuned to find out

[JamesS]

Of course they can restore a decent one for under $30,000...

[DUBZAK]

For sure 30k is enough. If the starting car is clean enough.

HEHE I missed Pete talking trash.

Will,

The last time your name came across my desk was from a mod (who's name will not be mentioned) stating that you were getting your feelings hurt because you felt like individuals were making fun of the results on how your carbon fiber lamination project was turning out.

Nope, I can take the heat from James because Dogger is actually DOING IT. He gave me constructive criticism and regardless, that was NOT EVEN the same thread nor the reason you troll.

Since I never posted on any of your threads (regarding your work) I actually felt bad that I may have hurt your feelings. I went over board and sent you an apology and sent and cc'd it to the same mod.

Actually, I reported that post because someone was pissed off at me, and I did not like you and Baby JamesS spamming someone else's thread. Yes, I REPORTED YOU. To bad you haven't been banned.....YET. It's coming though.

The emoticon you posted shows you feel that something is crazy. I don't want to hurt your feelings again Will. I'll hold off on responding you how you feel about promoting one of our sponsors to a corporate entity.

??? DAFUQ Did I just Read? Try English if you want to try and talk to people.

Yes, Something is Crazy. You. You have a screw loose. Are a few bricks shy of a load. Not the Brightest crayon in the box, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. About as useful as a Screen door in a Submarine.

You don't have to send an apology to me Will. Ahhhh ... Goodbye

No apologies, I just cant wait to see you at a West Coast Show one day.......if you even leave your house. Weirdo.

Dood seriously, go away with your blog ass style posts, which I'd have to say is probably close to 95% of your post count, no body likes you and bash the absolute crap out of you for said rediculous posts, do us all a favor and kill yourself, PLEASE

I will second that, you Quote yourself more than anyone and it is even more annoying to see you quoting yourself, then talking to yourself.

I used to think the fake elitist rich kid who talks about his own car in everyone elses thread was bad, but you sir have taken the cake of douche canoeing.



I CANT F***ING WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY DO WITH THIS CAR!

[wed3k]

restoration includes building of the vr6? that may be slightly pricey. 5g's?

[petethepug]

Meth sucks. Grab a toothbrush and work on your car. Give the keys a break. It's Friday somewhere.

[Tk2g60]

Pics coming soon!!!!

[RedYellowWhite]

[6BangSneezer]

[1956dub]

"It's taken some time to find the perfect cars for the project, but we searched for the most solid cars to begin the awesome transformations.

We're starting with a 2-door 1971 Volvo P1800 from western-Ontario. We're going to make extreme changes to the current gold and black exterior and customize the car inside and out! It's traveling to Shediac, New Brunswick for it's transformation at Henry's Auto Body.

We also have a 1994 Volkswagen Corrado from central-Ontario, a black-on-black mid-nineties hatchback that will get a complete overhaul! It's complete transformation will take place at Boot Hill Auto in Erin, Ontario.

This is only where we're starting. Check back tomorrow to see the unveiling of both renderings done by the renowned Matthew Law!"

erin, ON? sweet, 30 min from my house! I should drop in there and give them a hand

[JamesS]

Well they are butchering it already, here is the rendering:



Please someone go intervene and tell them how to properly modify or RESTORE a Corrado.

[JamesS]

The more I see the rendering the more I wish the Corrado hadn't won.

since when is solid color paint, iffy wheels, and suspension butchering a car. that's all anyone here does.

[1956dub]

I've seen worse I suppose. I just dislike that color, and matte finish altogether for that matter.

Since it was a "restoration project" not a rice out project...

An army green matte paint job with "vip" wheels is far from a restoration..,

It looks like baby jai's wet dream come to life...

How about some baller chrome washer nozzles with lights in them and a half-dozen port holes on the fenders

It needs to have the ride height raised a bit, different wheels, and a Euro lip. I would hardly say they are butchering it.

[wed3k]

i honestly like the paint job but im also putting a 6" exhaust stack on my rabbit caddy diesel.

so i guess my taste is a little different.

[vdubCorrado]

Ahh gotta love vortex, the place where nothing is ever good enough to anyones standards unless it was done by one of the forum role models...

Funny how the rendering is basically this car who by popular vote was an awesome car and now its fugly/ruining the car because an outside source is doing the build... Awesome

[RedYellowWhite]

I kinda like the colour too (flame suit on)

[war.monkey]

+1 on the color, but they do need to change the wheels in my opinion.

Nah, both them cars is ugly. (I just don't like that color of paint, though the gloss finish does look better)

[JamesS]

Paint is okay... wheels are ugly. Its just not a "restoration" like they claimed it was.

[HavokRuels]

I think paint is hideous but then again, some lucky **** is going to own a 94

[petethepug]

Lucky dude got a really good base car to start with. 94 Canadian VR w/ recaro seats. I really, really hope the shop's resto work mods it up to a tribute car instead of bastardized homogenization of shiny eBay parts.

[cata]

This is complete and utter BS we basically voted that a mint example be given a death sentence. The title implied that they'll be saving a run down pos and bringing it back to life, in which case I could care less what they did with it. If this joke of a project was advertised correctly, I'd have voted for those other cars instead
