1.5 TD Project

Post by omox »

Completely forgot i was on here guys sorry :lol:

Anyway heres my little project im currently working on, I picked up the corsa for nothing, was a first to put it on a trailer gets it, so i got there signed the forms and turned up with the trailer at the weekend. The guy thought that he had managed to do in the front nearside drive shaft, turns out that it was just a total blowout on that tyre. Had the garage check it out, had them tidy up a few bits that needed welded that had been missed on its last service, had them put in a new starter motor, and had the brakelines bled. So it cost me about £300 to get sorted out, and to be honest is a tidy enough little runner. There are a few rusy patches that need sorted but they will be dealt with before crail on the 28th hopefully. So far i have semi smoothed the boot, just needs laqured and then its done, sprayed the alloys white, got plans for them too, will post pics up of the finished product when i get them done, changed the standard lights for angel eyes, changed the side repeaters to smoked ones, M3 style mirrors (not decided on them yet...might take them off), new head unit, sub and amp fitted into the car, and so far thats about it. I have a 4'' backbox to fit, lowering springs to fit, and in the process of colour coding and smoothing the pre97 bumpers. Heres som pics from start to how it is now. I am also aware that the pics are a bit dark, will get some better ones when ive got a chance during the day :D

ahh now see between me and my mate, we decided that instead of putting a facelift bumper on, we would smooth the front and back bumpers pre 97, and colour code them, seen it done and it looks lush.
