Hello World :)
Hey guys,
I'm new on here & thought I'd say hi & share a bit
I'm in Perth Australia, but as there's not much of a Barina (Corsa) community over here I thought I'd join up with you guys, hope you don't mind...
I've recently brought a 98 Combo B as a run around for work & to enable me to pull my other car (87 Ford Laser TX3 Awd, same as a 323 Familia GTX) off the road to build it the way I want it instead of just keeping it going as a daily...
But I don't ever seem to be able to leave a vehicle stock, so this one is going to be built to look smart without being overdone & be practical for work at the same time... It lasted all of 2 days before the 13" stockies came off to be replaced by 15's :p
I'll be starting a project thread soon, so keep an eye out in the build forum for full plans and progress updates
Before I go, here are a couple of pics of my other non-Corsa vehicles very different but neither anywhere near stock ... Hope u don't mind :p

Re: Hello World :)
Cheers mate,
I'm loving seeing what you guys do...over here nobody mods Barinas, they are pretty much all relegated to granny shopping trolley duty
I'm looking forward to being as involved as I can be from the other side of the world

Re: Hello World :)
Thanks guys, that does look cool unfortunately Tigra Bs are like hens teeth over here & the cost of shipping all the front end panels would be prohibitive
I'd really like to put a set of Morette headlights on... I've always been a sucker for twin lights, as evidenced by the Laser above but at $700 before postage they are going to have to wait a while till all the practical work type mods are done
If any of you hear of a set going 2nd hand that you don't want for yourself, I'd really appreciate a heads up
Also, project thread is up... See "Aussie Combo B" in the projects thread

Re: Hello World :)
Either of you guys fancy getting me a quote on a Holden airbag cover posted?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Hello World :)
A rough estimate would be around 300AUD plus postage
Could be less could be more since the price of morrettes vary a fair bit
And new angel eyes run at around 130EUR, around 200AUD I think
