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

Well i brought the car back in January, it had 140,000 on the clock, and was rattling like a skeleton in a biscuit tin

here's wot she looked like after 245 quid ebay buy later......







well after a good service, leads, dizzy, arm, plugs air/oil filter, coolant, oil, brakes, handbrake cable, and a water pump later (this was the rattling noise ) i gave her a good clean and wax.....

well this was how she stayed really but i march i did have a little bump...



well i eventually decided that i would do a few bits to the car, so i brought a central clock display, glovebox, i got rid of that horrid interior with a full GSi interior, though i did make a few adjustments like keeping my manual windows and mirrors, GSi clocks too. I also fitted some clear side repeaters, i have also brought a GSi spoiler too but not fitted it yet

this is how she stood...











and this was me trying the spoiler on

i have also debadged the boot lid



i brought a new bumper to replace the damaged one (also brought new arch trims but they'll be fitted end of Nov)



brought this for a bargain 22 quid...JR filter



then brought these off ebay...



had them powder coated....(they'll be on @ end of Nov too)



also brought these



and very quickly fitted them

and that's pretty much where she now stands, just brought a 2.0 8v MKII Cav SRi 130 engine this week off ebay, and will be collecting that at the end of the month







the F16WR box will do for now but will get a F16CR later on


thanks for looking

hmm...looking forward to seeing the wheels on it. I will shortly be splitting my corsa, and i have a late spec front bumper and slatted grille which will be for sale.

Look great and both in good nick. Will let you know.

Good to see you've taken the 8v route as well...but be sure to check on the block that it is an SEH! Easy enough for people to say it is when in reality, it's an NE.

A few simple mods and it will look spot on. Also, with the conversion, make sure you do everything properly e.g. gear linkage, exhaust...as it is well worth it.

thanks for the reply, i'll definitely be making sure it's all fitted right and i'll check when i go pick the engine up

hey, ive got the except same corsa as that and have done the same sorts of the things to the interior! Do the twists only come in that torquiose colour? ive only ever seem them that colour lol.

Also did u fit a different instrument panel to it? Mine didnt have a rev counter (tachometer) in it and was wondering how hard they are to fit?

looks nice so far pretty tidy inside for that price on ebay..

with your new instrument cluster is 6000rpm the actual redline of your car. because i have the 1.2L its max power 45hp is achieved at 5000rpm but i have no idea where the redline is?

sorry mate can't help as my rev counter isn't connected up yet, waiting the new engine

starting to get there fella

love the lue and grey seats looks like an airtours plane interior .
