RAW Corsa

[rawgrafix]

Well i thought i might as well jump on the band wagon and start a project log.
I'm slowly pimping the corsa as it's the main vehicle for the business now i've sold the fitting van.
I'll be doing what i can myself and anything mechanical or too complicated will be sub contracted out to Jack in Tiptree.

Here's what she looked like when i bought her




So far i've changed the steering wheel - see steering wheel thread lol

and i change the wheel this morning from standard 13 steels to 17's!!! - such a difference, mainly to steering - so light now.

Will post new pics in the morning before we go for MOT

nice smart car to start with mate, wots the plans for it.

Yes to be honest i hate autos and particularly vauxhalls as they always seem to overheat. I've had 2 vectras, both autos and both overheated and blew the head.
So far i've not been in any real traffic so i've not seen the needle go anywhere.........

As for seats, i was looking at bucket type seats but i don't think the car seats will fit in those so i'll just stick with standard ones for now i think

"nice smart car to start with mate, wots the plans for it."

You'll see pretty much the finished article tomorrow - basically i use it as a run around for the business so it primarily an advertising tool for me. I'm looking to swap the bumpers for later ones as they look nicer - Jack in Tiptree is helping me with anything i can't do, jobs on the list are spraying mirrors white, spraying arch trims white and fitting the 3D tail lights i've just bought on ebay.

looking at that interior reminds me just how much iv done to mine lol..coz mine was like that to start with..and i now have:

new seats,black doorcards and trays,glovebox door,colour coded plastics,new steering wheel..sure theres more lol..heres pics to inspire you lol..its a bit old tho-done alot more since..will upload a newer one tomorrow..

[matty101]

[corsa-danny]

nice lad like the why u done the air vents and door handels do u need to do anything to them before u paint them or just paint onto them

[rawgrafix]

You're probably better off asking dantheman as i bought it like that

[danthemann]

are u planning on doing any graphics on ya car mate? or keeping it more simple?

[rawgrafix]

It's already got a bonnet decal and i will be doing the rest at some point this week. Thinking about doing something a bit special for the roof............
