Big Red :) Corsa B project
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
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??

Re: Big Red :) Corsa B project
cheers and yeah i'm hoping to get them in a couple of months but just trying to choose wat sort of wheels might suit it best. I know cav slabs look the bomb on the B's but they're so hard to come by
