Been nipping the wifes head for ages to get some new seats cause i want the ones we put into her mini. Finally she said aright i can have them for the corsa. There not brand new but there comfy as hell, Got them for a bargin price aswell. 10% of the real value £70 so couldn't turn them away :shock:

Not a huge update but an update all the same,

Not been near the corsa for a wee while, Been busy detailing a couple more cars. So decided i would buy a couple of bits for it.

These came the other day
Image

And also bagged myself a wee bargin, Its just a 5x3 oval so its nice an small.

Hopefully next weekend i should have most of the welding done to it so i can get the car undersealed an start putting things back on it.
