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

right last cpouple of days ive been working flat out

undersealed most of the car will get pics tomorow when i finish that job
had cat 1 alarm and immob fitted

i fixed the drivers door deadlock
and got new weather strip for the doors and built them all back up




and in a moment snap descision i purchased a new steering wheel as i dislike airbags and my one the horn button was a little worn
i also fitted roadangel in too



will get more pics tomorow
it really really need a clean now

i have some dynamat left but its going in the boot i think, ill see when ive fitted the sub in,
and the road angel has been hardwire'd i can still remove it but the wiring remais

right small update,

i stripped the back bumer off to waxoil it a bit, and that snowballed into the arch's coming off, they fell to bits like the front did so they got binned, and ive ordered some new ones

i rubbed out all rust, treated the steel primed it, then waxoild it
also re-sprayed the crash bar as it has some surface corrosion on it

pictures







ive also made a fasle floor fo the sub and amp, will get pics tomorow hopefully my arch's will be in and ill be on the road

excellent progress!!

really should get mine done...

So whats left now, well, where rust may be?? Just chassis legs or are they done??

chasis is solid

only rust was surface there the archbolts go throu
all the rest is a preventative measure,

sub and amp fitted





and on a security point of view, unlike what someppl do is to improve there car and make it more desirable to thives, and leave the alarm and security to the last thing
my car,
cat 1 alarm and immob, duel immob, steering lock cat 2 steering lock, vaux alarm and immob, and vaux deadlocks

soon the windows will be film'd too call me paranoid but hey its my car i intend to keep it that way

the sub will stay like that for now it works on doesnt move.

i got a eml when i drove her yesterday, but recalled a split fuel vent pipe so replaced then and all seems fine


here are some pics when i gave her a quick wash

fitted my k&n panel filter in. . no pics, its in the airbox

not an amazing mod, new mats, cannon premiere, weigh loads and dont move, love em.




and also fitted my summer wheels, braided brake lines, and painted the rear drums

and for those that didnt know it existed, the secondry air injection system does have an airfilter

about £7.50 from vaux, i got one and fitted it today

new filter



you can just see the filter inside


and where it goes


looking inside it it did look well old so i guess itll cold start better and emissions from cold will be better, now my car has done 39k so i guess its never been changed, now all those cars with more milage on them???? have they been changed ever???

boot lock being sprayed



sanded down



plastic primer



then had to sand it all back cos the high build spat,
so then re-did the plastic primer, then a light coat of high build



its currently in std primer bakeing, i will then sand it down a bit, then add the colour

boot lock done

The boot lock does look good

where did you eventually get the opel badge from?? remember the amout of trouble you had getting hold of one! nightmare!

dbilas fitting,
anyone who isn't good at fiddly stuff, do not attempt to fit one of these, its an right arse to do.

this is at the back of the engine the valve looking thing, no idea what it is
