My Project Log. Red Rocket
First Of All This Is Going To Be a Very Slow Log, But Ill Try My Best As Im Really Low On Funds At The Minute!
First Of All Ill Introduce Myself Im Still New On Here!
Im Sam From Manchester! 22, And Own A 1997 1.2 8v Corsa LS
Just Bought My Corsa B And It Needed Abit Of Work ( cam was rattling its nuts off ) and the car just needed some TLC! Which Im Going to give her!
I Havnt The Slightest About Mod-ing Cars! She Is my First Car And I Named Her Clarissa The Corsa! HAHA
I Currently Dont Drive Because I Just Had A Knee Operation So Couldnt Book My Driving Test ( Which I Was About to book the week i had surgery )
This Is Her After I Washed And Polished Her...
DEBADGED The Tail Gate! Still Has a Little Glue On This Picture!
Decided To Get Some Door Speakers! So I Got a Pair Of FLI Ones! Alot Nicer Than The Standard! Fitted Them In The Dark Last Night !
GUTTED i cant even try them out as i have a standard Tape Player at the minute which is code locked! Bought a Second Hand Sony One Off Ebay, Should Come This Week!
I Was Looking For a Badgeless Grill But Found Out That I Cant For My Model So Just Took The Badge Off For Now!
Doesnt Look To Bad For Now!
I Want To Mod It More i Really Think Im Addicted To Modding Because I Dont know what im doing!
ANY TIPS I Will Be Welcome To Try If Yous Know Anything I Do! ( Which Is Everything! )
Thanks For Looking!

Re: My Project Log. Red Rocket
nice little base you have by the look's,

Re: My Project Log. Red Rocket
looks a nice little motor u have there dude
sorry to hear about your knee operation though must be so annoying for you with having a car sitting there!
it will look nice when modded but when you get money and time maybe some lowering springs, some nice vauxhall alloys, would certainly start it off anyway! And if you keep your eyes pealed on ebay etc u may find some cheap ones nocking about

Have you got a Project Log?
