quite a few of you guys and girls i talk to using PM\'s and a lot of you are asking how the cars coming along, and it is coming along....... just painfully slow. so heres some photos, im holding some back at the mo

i think the roof looks awesome, but i keep thinking it would be even better on a euro style corsa, cant wait to see it in paint. its so subtle, but makes a huuuge difference taking those roof rails out, most people smooth it straight over, i havent ever seen it where a crease is left in

*TRY AND KEEP THE TOPIC CORSA RELATED PLEASE*

it was in good shape when it was delivered, has needed shaving and a bit of gentle heating and bending and lots of filler

Use a decent mesh to give the bumper some depth and paint the bodywork behind a matt black.

Most Corsa front bumpers look too thin, with the exception of Jap-style gash which has to come out a foot away from the car.

its gonna have zetec mesh in it, and oh yes the back will be sprayed black, that\'d look awful if it wasnt

Cereal box? They\'re too square for the Corsa\'s lines.

oyt

they dont resemble the original arches he used now anyways, maybe when i get it back i\'ll change it all again for a euro look

I like the idea of having metal arches, just not sure on how you\'ve done it.

Lee Mitchell\'s arches look good on his work in progress Corsa.

looking good. i wonder how much it\'d cost to get a roof done like that on its own.

im gonna ask him that actually as the roof was a freebie

the inspiration came from a supra that was in the work shop the other side of the car.
u can see what i mean on this photo
