Corsa Sport - 1st Project
right, well this is my first project, wont be as good as some on here though,
any opions are most welcome if it will help geth the car looking better
well bought this 1.4 16v from Adam-D for a reasonable price
had no mot or tax
this is when i got it home
then bought these from chrex
and fitted
was sitting a bit high for my liking, so stupidly i bought these of ebay because they were cheap
that caused it to sit like this, which i dint like
so adam came round and put the gmax springs that where originally on there onto the jamex shocks
much better
not rubbing anymore
it passed the MOT advised on two track rod ends, that was soon sorted
then becuse i was bored i bought these bonnet lifters, not bad
boredem soon struck again so i stripped out the back
that soon stopped the family, and the lads at college asking for a lift
allthough the missus wasnt to happy about not having back seats
got a bargain from halfords
cd, usb and aux thingy, for 40notes, cant complain
also bought a sabelt 4point harness off Adam-D
also got this off him
fitted
ive done abit of ebay shopping the last couple of days
and managed to get hold of these
and this
also bought this a few days ago
will post pics when i can get them fitted
i also bought some mudflaps of ebay aswell, but i must have been drunk, cos when they arrived they looked far to chavvy for my liking
thats all for now
dont really have any future plans, just going to try an keep it clean
hope one day to maybe drop an XE in it, depends on funds though
any opinions most welcome

Re: Corsa Sport - 1st Project
Just a question mate, does the back of your car sit higher with no back seats, coz ive got 60mm springs on m9, no back seats and car sits high..? Also, you know anywhere i can get hold of a 2"-2 1/2" back box??

You fitted the opel grille yet? (I personally think they're better as they dont have that silver strip at the top like the vauxhall ones..)
