Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

I did get out again today - went to South Dorset instead (yesterday was North/Mid Dorset)




















Had a breakdown - well, if you count 2 exhaust rubbers breaking on the same day! Bodge ties FTW!











All good fun...

Cheers

Will be ordering Poly mounts this week

nice work BOTH thats dodgey like :L

I had to 2 middle ones just disappear in one day. Most probs fallen off going over a violent bump or summet knowin my luck

Something to sort out once I get back from my upcoming away trip...

As I picked it up;










Has been shunted - through a fence and post - hence the damage and paintwork on it. Bought cheap from Karl (Lem0nmonkey)

Should be a fairly simple fix - the worst bit will be recoating the whole thing to be rid of scratches and light cracking in the lacquer/gelcoat

Will be taking it to a local GRP/CF Company so they can have a crack at it!

Did give it a little clean up today though...






Little trip I'm going on should easily pay for the repairs and more Carbon stuff too...

nice bonnet once fixed

carbon wrap it ?

not like underside wud rust and wrap isnt heavey ? so wud be light ... and wud give the finish u want .. if not a laquere wud

nahh that'd look weird carbon wrapping a real raw carbon fibre bonnet lol if you didnt mend the cracks it'd only become worse anyway.

true i didnt think about that ... tho if ur only wanting it because its LIGHT it wouldnt realli matter

I'll be getting it repaired properly with real Carbon

Honestly, for the price I paid for it, I could spend £2-300 having it repaired professionally and STILL save a couple of hundred on the price of a new one.

I do want it for weight saving mainly, but also want it to have some structural strength back - bear in mind the damage photographed is the aftermath of hitting and knocking down a building site fence and snapping a 4" Wooden Post clean in half. Wouldn't want to knock it hard again if it wasn't repaired properly. lol

Oh, and vinyl Carbon Wrap stuff looks nowhere near as good as the real stuff - would never bother with it personally - not after ScEnE points myself. lol

Another new addition to sort out when I get back to the UK...

if u drive a 1.0 like me u have to be in "the scene!"

nice i wanted one of them

More goodies...

Track Wheels - to be stripped and recoated. Likely in Orange to go back to my old Cesaro ways... They are Speedlines, 16", but not sure what model exactly.






And also should have a set of proper Morette Indicators waiting for me to return home, so will be able to get rid of the LEDs. Maybe.
