it was a standard vauxhall one mate with airbag but was ripped

wat do u meen was ripped? lol the airbag, or the actual steering wheel lol

[rems]

the actual steering wheel mate and was in poo condition tbh, who ever owned the car before hand took no car of the car atal

[wh03_mad]

loving the enigne cover man looks sweet .... how did you do it ? paint or air brush ?

[rems]

cheers mate

took the cover off then primered it and drew on it with pencil and coloured it in them masked off the drawing and sprayed the background then laquered it lol

[wh03_mad]

fair play man one way of doing it ... am looking into air brush equip soon as i used to do it when i was at school got good at one point then stopped ... so going to get back into it then look at doing a bit of work on my bonnet i think but not sure yet as dont wana make it look tacky :S not after the work thats going into it.

might just have to do something simple on the rocker cover just to give it a bit of a difference to the rest

Anyway man it does look good ... any more plans for the car ?

[rems]

yea me and my boss are looking at going halfs on an airbrush kit

yea got alot of plans alot of smoothing which im doing myself and spraying myself for the time being until i get some money to take it to a bodyshop to get a full respray and touch up

next i want my new wheels which again i have to save up for but looking to have them in the next couple of months fingers crossed lol

then the interior is going to be retrimmed then possibly at a later date do a C20let conversion but not sure as im currently building a car atm lol

its just the money being the big issue lol

[rems]

well bit of an update

i have been rather busy with the car trying to get it ready for modded nats

i have de wipered the boot, put a different bonnet on it as the original was rusty to f**k and both need respraying, smoothed a spare rear bumper and front bumper, resprayed the arches and side skirts

just got to put it back together and add a bit of my art work

[rems]

bit of an update this is how the car looks atm, smooth front and rear bumper, de wipered and under bonnet work!

i smoothed the front and rears myself and sprayed the bonnet, boot, arches, side skirts and bumpers myself

well heres the pics

[rems]

well the car has had a bit of and overhaul since these pics so heres a bit or an up date

on went the new alloys



they are league retro star alloys

then it failed its MOY epicly and had to replace the rear, rebuild the rear arches and fit a new drivers side sill

only have a pic of the back end after i cut it out




but the rear is all back together how it should be but i have a bit of an issue as to the fact that the rear lights have moved out from the boot so that the boot edge is about half inch to and inch from the light

and i have fitted the new arches and painted the calipers




will get better pics when its finished and spaced the wheels out

[sophii]

looking good so far mate, its given me some ideas for my project

[rems]

yea i do like to help others but dont like being copied coz had that before put my ideas up and somebody done the same in shorter time as they had the money to do it quicker which i werent to happy bout and had to change all my ideas lol

[sophii]

yeah i would hate that. well its lucky i aint doing the same idea then.
with your mirrors are they any good as i saw some like them today and i was interested in them but wondered what they looked like in person and i just seen yours are nearly the same ones??

[rems]

yea thats cool

yea they look good as different but can be a pain in the arse to see out of until you get used to them, to make them fit you need to buy a backing plate for like DTM's, M3 mirrors ect and completely smooth it then redrill a hole in the middle to fit them

[rems]

heres a few pics of how its looking (pics are HUGE had the wrong setting when they uploaded)














so decided that the interior was looking a bit bland as corsa's are so re-trimed the roof lining (first time i have ever done anythink like this so its not perfect but im happy with it) had a bit of help from my nan


also resprayed the plastic trim matte black and added heart and silver star stickers (with the help of the missus)


and heres the out come
