Back in a Corsa....

Post by Lee91 »

Hi all I purchased my Corsa sport 1.6 16v yesterday and I absolutely love it 95k not much history but only 3 owners and it's in pretty good condition. It's came with - tigra alloys (i think!) brand new toyo proxy tyres all round, full janspeed exhaust 4-2--1 manifold heat wrapped, interior is pretty bad tbh they have tried spraying all the plastics and roof lining black and it's pealed off everywhere! Small momo steering wheel, orange show cage, coilovers. overall I'd say 7/10 for the condition.

So basically my plans are to fix all the little problems with it which are handbrake needs adjusting, steering rack is a tad wobbly, drivers seat needs bolting down properly just daft little things.

Future plans are:-
tidy up the engine bay maybe some high lift cams
Lower it more
Bigger brake set up
Gloss black arches bumper plastics
Semi-smooth boot
Powdercoat showcage White
Different wheels unsure on what type?
Splitter
Maybe GSI front bumper
Digi dash
All new interior plastics
Possible false floor.

So nothing to major just want it so clean & tidy nothing over the top

Anyway here's some pics how it looks at the minute

Im not too sure mate but thanks :)
Getting the cage painted tomorrow so will have some pics up.

I need a new tailgate it's badly rusted around the wiper and there's a few rust bubble type bits above the headlights on the bonnet but that can be saved!

There for the boot light, you'll feel the hole for it near the top it plugs in to the plastic lens that just pops out
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

The green wires are for the rear speaker, you might get it plugged back in if your lucky but you'll probably need to take off the trim

Give the B a quick polish and treated the plastics. I'll eventually get the arches and bumper plastics sprayed just hard with work and the weather etc.. Here's a couple of pics
