cheers, its a really nice colour, the car had a respray couple of years ago, however the previous owner dinged it a bitm but otherwise the paints really nice, plan is to tidy the body work up, loose all the rust and respray the panels that need it, keeping the standered colour, as dont see many corsa in that colour!

Yeahm Vw golf mk2 g60 wheels! i like the stance and poke the wheels have, makes the car seem slightly fatter, and actually like a little camber all round, nothing to mad, my cav turbo is lower and has so much more camber, so fairly used to munching tyres!

have contemplated black, however my cav is black on black, fancy something different on the corsa, looking at satin finish silver maybe! they need a respray anyway so will have a little play with different colours!

only 2 washers behind the bottom bolts, theres still a lot of thread on the bolt so i cant see it having much stress on them

front lights will get carbon covered at some point i think, once ive re lacquered the bonnet, think i might go for a matt finish!!


Corsa passed its mot today, needed some welding and a new hub and ball joint, been doing some work on my cav turbo this week also


small amount of rust need dealing with behind the bumper, prob made worse by the impact, so while its off its all getting sorted, little more welding tomorrow then the underside gets stripped and stonechip sheilded!!
