Big Red :) Corsa B project

Post by adammat »

hi all :)
this is my first project and also my first car so i thought i might post a few pics up and see wat ya'll think of my progess so far :P

All creative comments towards big red's completion will be much appriciated :) but all comments welcome.

Here he is in the original form apart from the grille, which was lost in an accident :'(

and here is the progress so far:

So far he's been lowered by 60mm front and rear, de-badged (this morning) and an air filter fitted.

next on the list is a set of H.I.Ds, new bonnet and bumper and a nice set of wheels.

what ya guys think?? :)
