Speed Isn't Everything.. Ride Height Is.

[jamie nivauxhall]

just right

[Grant L Walsh]

I like your thinking. Also the latest, my corsa has had a new NSR wheel bearing fitted and also more pics to come as the car is now debadged and been properly cleaned

[Grant L Walsh]

Ok here is update number 2.
As I said, I have done the air filter trick with drilled holes in it. Soo here is some pics of my engine atm:-


As you can see, pretty standard atm but I am currently looking for the Vauxhall cover to cover my spark plugs and an air filter will be fitted and most possibly a brace bar will be fitted. Eventually I am going to replace all of the piping as well.

Anyway moving to the back of the car. This is what my boot looks like to this very day:-



As you can see, its quite clean in there lol but atm I have my car cover in its bag and my new car mats which were in the car BUT then moved into the boot when we had all of the bad snow. They will be placed back in the car very shortly. Also there all the tools i carry with me. My wheel locking nut case. A Tiny tool box from wilko. A bag with bits and bobs for the car. also the black leaver which is for my trolly jack but its also needed to take my wheel nuts off as the bag holds the sockets for the lever and my wheels.

Next task was to debadge the car. This is what it looked like first:-

and now this is what it looks like:-


Now fully cleaned every inch of the inside and added a few bits for now but loads more to come:-

NO SMOKING Tax Disc Holder!!!

Glove box handle cover missing and my air dial square thing is missing!


The radio

Painted side door parts with new edge speakers behind them but the passenger side, someones shoe has scraped the speaker cover and u cn see it in the bottom right!

The milage.

My lil C'MON friend

The back

Now another job. The wind mirrors have been resprayed


and this is where my baby sleeps at night

In the far right, you can JUST see my pile of the old SXI rims.

Also my car was parked at college and walked back to the car to find another V Reg corsa and just had to take this random picture:-

I know which one I would drive home lol.

Let you know when more things are done to it

[Mike_Parr]

The one with the BLACK bumpers!!

Looking good though mate, I like.

[andrewcockerill]

Tidy looking car mate. I personally prefer the sxi's on it than the rip speeds, but that's just me being biased because I love the sxi's on the 'B' anyway. Plan on getting some myself soon!!!

[kempy]

Get the SXI's back on mate

[SammyH]

Very nice car mate, love the shine. Not a fan of the rip speed wheels or mud flaps. Get the SXI's back on and some GM rubber mud flaps and it'll look the dogs mate. Keep us posted.

[Grant L Walsh]

thanx for tips, mudflaps may be coming off or replaced, aspecially the rear ones. As i said before I still got the SXI's and just waiting for summer time to clean them up as they are VERY scratched, well 2 of them are, only one is in goodish condition. I am also in summer time going to be respraying the car errrr flame red agen and getting rid of all the rust patches and dents etc....

Anyway quick update, the exhaust has had alot of modifications underneith as it were banging against parts of the exhaust tunnle, spare wheel and N.S.R Spring. I did this at college as I do Motor Mechanics at North Lindsey College. Also its had a fully service, New Oil Filter, Castrol Magnitech 10W40 Oil and Champion Spark Plugs, errrr only 3 of them out of the 4 lol.

hello mate smart little beast ya got yaself :)not to keen on them mudflaps , saying that i do like the gm ones think they would look better. it would look better with back three windows tinted lowered 40-60mm depo headlights n debadge grill? great start tho mate

[jrdz92]

[corsadan09]

^^^^^ thats nice! loving the smooth boot cant wait to get mine done!

[Grant L Walsh]

ooo yesh very smart them, i thought about gloss black, the original silver or pure white. But as i said its a work in progress and its my first lil run around but going good soo far

[Grant L Walsh]

quick update, alot of work has been done to the inside of my corsa and abit on the outside.
The Mudflaps are off, yes thats right they have gone. Same with the Rally Sport sign in the window.
Alot of interior parts have been re-sprayed and new seat covers, gear knob and gaitor (GAITOR IN THE POST FROM EBAY) New Air Dial and new boot carpet.

Pics to come very soon, keep posted

[Grant L Walsh]

sorry since its been ages since i last posted been very busy. The car is halfway through having rust and dents removed and being repainted and alot of things need to be doing to it before I start putting new pics on. Soo far the whole boot has been resprayed and got rid of the rust around the rear wiper. The rust has gone on the side of the drivers door and the bonnet is being currently removed from rust at the front.

The car requires new back lights as they are scratched around the edge from th lil grinder used to remove the rust. Also all of the black bumpers and arches need repainting. The only 2 things new on the car is my new engine cover to cover the spark plugs with VAUXHALL ECO writen on it. Also new side tinted repeaters. Pics to come when the whole car is finished.

Also sorry for not puttin the others on which i said in my last post. Just been very busy with the car and other things :-/
