Yep.. 10 years mate :lol:



A little update. I managed to get a little bit of time on the car yesterday.
I’ve had some issues with my GAZ suspension. The rear springs sit the car drastically too high and are showing no signs dropping.

Please Note... I dont wear nail varnish. They are the wifes hands :lol::lol:

I’ve been on the phone to them as well as sending numerous emails and they have no problems in changing them which is great. But first they want me to build the car up to see how far it does drop. It doesn’t move as I’m 14.5st and even with me sitting on the back it goes nowhere near. So I’ll build it as they say then get them changed.
Anyway.. I then cracked on fitting some powder coated parts 

I also had a little play on where to put the swirl pot. I’ve decided on here, it just needs the base trimming so it doesn’t hang over the spare wheel well.

That’s if for now :)

A bit more done. Got the tailgate and back bumper fitted with the lights. The bumpers have been wrapped up for nearly 5 years now lol. It was good to finally unwrap one and get it on the car aswell as the arches 

Then it was time to down tools before the red mist set in. The left rear arch was very slightly mis-shaped from storage so when fitting the rear lights, as you tighten the lights and they pull in on the rear arch I just heard a little crack. The high build primmer has cracked. No dramas as my mate who painted the car will sort it. But it did make me swear lol.

The cage and tank are getting picked up tomorrow so the swearing will start when fitting the main hoop in while trying to protect all the paint work lol.

Hahaha thanks mate. But I'm sorry.. It will never be for sale. Obviously a big number would be considered but them numbers never exist for any Corsa.
Hence I'll never sell it :D
