different step( it's been so long ...i might forget a thing or two )

-1st resto / touchup ...circa 1996-97
1st complete sandblast ,painted pearl white
completely fonctionnal hydraulic corrado wing
complete passat glass sunroof(and when i say complete....
swap vr6 corrado 95 automatic ( at the time ,the only tranny available ) lol

5 bolts hubs fitted (complete brake corrado swap )








-2nd step (6 months after)
