Right got some work done on the old girl today springs doesnt look alot different but needs to settle had a quick look under neath and only found one bad bit of rust couldn't fit the seats to day as they are going to need some brackets making up so on the lookout for some spare seat frames going to give it a bit of a wash tomorrow but I also got my head unit fitted that I got off a mate who owed me some money
Before springs
After
Fitting
The only bad bit of rust
And a bit to sort out at bottom of rad

Well fitted the original wheels that came on the car to see what it would look like sitting on 15s
Not to bad need to let it settle a bit but leave iit at that until I get my bumper on before I decide if it need lowering a bit more

Im not sure I think its a combat style one there is a pic of it at the beginning of the thread on page 1 I got it very cheap and its been sitting in my shed for the last couple of years I have forgot to mention that I am building this cheap so most parts have been brought from ebay me and a mate was going to do it together on a different corsa for a project for his magazine and the task was to modify it cheaply so far I have prob only spent bout 600-700 and that includes buying the car and 2.0 redtop engine (with all mounts and drive shafts) I think the bargin was £60 for the pair of reclining bucket seats! It a bit of fun for me as I wont be using my cavalier all the time and leaving that standard (bar the pc which will be installed the screen is already mounted just need to wire all in) thoughts and comment are welcome

If I do the prep 170 all in not bad so thats the next to get sorted so I can gt them fitted! I may go forr 195 50 15 tyres just to fill in the arches a bit more (there 195/45/15 tyres on the alloys in the picture)
