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

Completely forgot i was on here guys sorry

Anyway heres my little project im currently working on, I picked up the corsa for nothing, was a first to put it on a trailer gets it, so i got there signed the forms and turned up with the trailer at the weekend. The guy thought that he had managed to do in the front nearside drive shaft, turns out that it was just a total blowout on that tyre. Had the garage check it out, had them tidy up a few bits that needed welded that had been missed on its last service, had them put in a new starter motor, and had the brakelines bled. So it cost me about £300 to get sorted out, and to be honest is a tidy enough little runner. There are a few rusy patches that need sorted but they will be dealt with before crail on the 28th hopefully. So far i have semi smoothed the boot, just needs laqured and then its done, sprayed the alloys white, got plans for them too, will post pics up of the finished product when i get them done, changed the standard lights for angel eyes, changed the side repeaters to smoked ones, M3 style mirrors (not decided on them yet...might take them off), new head unit, sub and amp fitted into the car, and so far thats about it. I have a 4'' backbox to fit, lowering springs to fit, and in the process of colour coding and smoothing the pre97 bumpers. Heres som pics from start to how it is now. I am also aware that the pics are a bit dark, will get some better ones when ive got a chance during the day

Looks like it's got great potential!

cheers mate might go for a badboy bonnet too, like the look it has with one of them on it, mate has one on his and it looks lush, planning on tinting the back lights too soon, should look good, heres hoping anyway.

Yeah, slap a facelift bumper on there, and a bageless grille, it'll be crackin!

ahh now see between me and my mate, we decided that instead of putting a facelift bumper on, we would smooth the front and back bumpers pre 97, and colour code them, seen it done and it looks lush.

I, personally, haven't seen that done, but i'll be looking forward to the pictures to follow

hopefully have it smoothed on tuesday, primed and ready for paint on wed, want to get as much done before crail on the 28th as i can, will keep the thread updated

5dr corsas look good slammed and smoothed,you should smooth the rear door handles ftw!!! lol

smooth the back doors and popper them? could do that would look lush like, just some work that would need done to get it right.

Hopefully have some more pics tomorrow if i get the front arches sprayed

daylight pics, got the last wheel sprayed and a quick clean, back bumper will be finished tomorrow and primed, and sprayed wed, hopefully same with the front and arches.

looks smart m8
but how do you open ur boot?

Ooh, nicely smoothed!

cheers bud, was between me and my mate, mate filled it, i sanded it back and primed, painted and laquered it, just got the same to do with the bumpers and colour code them and the arches and then im almost done for what i want done before the weekend, skirts would be nice to get on before too, and slammed
