Steves 1996 Corsa Sport 20XE

Post by steve1984 »

Picked this up in september as a non runner, had the head gasket done, then the water pump was found out to be knackered so just had that done, new rad and most service items. Needs a balljoint doing and rear brakes adjusting up for the mot.

Got some blue hoses and colour coded the ridiculous red cold air intake :lol:

Image

Interior has been has been ruined with blue aerosol and bits of fabric stuck on the door cards :lol:

Image

Image

Got late spec sport door cards, cav turbo seats and stripped the rear out

Thanks mate, one problem solved, another one found lol had the handbrake adjusted, new shoes and wheel cylinders. But now we have an oil leak, think its just the rocker gasket but not had a chance to check it out yet. I'm sure it'll be finished one day!!
