Welcome to TRF. So you are the owner of that nice red cabby that ArjenE had posted along with his. Very nice. I like the color of your paint is it a custom shade? Did you replace your tail lights with the M3 style tails? I would like to know more about the windscreen that covers the back seat and the one that goes on the roll bar because I really like the look and they would come in handy for cold weather driving with the top down. Like I said before nice Cabby and welcome to the forum.

@bbrown, the paint is Candy Apple red, has always the shading, because you paint the car black with flakes, or silver with flakes.. i painted it first silver / flake, and than the candy ink over it.. that gives the shading effect. reality is better then foto's:D @kamzcab86. i will mount the boards next week ok?

That should make for a quick little Cabby. Good luck with the swap and keep us informed.

i think iv'e forgotten to update this topic, the G60 engine is running perfectly, although that the cabby is now taking a wintersleep... last pics of the cab :    power is nearby 170bhp next step is, the new gearbox also from G60 corrado. and that will be spring 2010.
