first car project
hi my names michael and im from hexham which is near newcastle and iv just joined.
i got given a vauxhall corsa b sting 1.0 16v just before christmas off my sister as she no longer wanted to drive and i was looking for my first car and because its a bit of a banger.
i have a few plans for this car but at the minute i just want to get it looking half decent so every weekend me and my dad are just going to go slow and easy on it as this is my first project
this is how it was when i got given it, it had a vectra gsi replica (i think) front bumper on and she had started to put the wide arches on (i editied the badboy bonnet on photoshop):
this bumper soon went along with the arches(still got it in the shed so if anyone wants it message me and you can have it for free if you pick it up)
we took the car for its MOT and it failed first time on the catalytic converter (dont know how to spell that haha) and the front driver side spring had broke. we got it up on the ramps on the drive and changed the spring and the cat (shown below on ramps)
then once we done that i decided i would be different and smooth out the roof rack holder things on roof. i soon rippped them out and got bodging ( not finished at the weather is rubbish atm)
i then decided to remove the rear wiper and smooth that off (this isnt finished either haha):
i then ordered a bumper off ebay (new to me)
and i put that on tonight after giving it a good scrubbing:
also i just bought this spoiler off another forum (im happy now )
all i really need now it to get the roof finished, a grill, some front arches, get the bumper sprayed and a new bonnet, oh and some nice shiney alloys.
keep in touch as i will try to update regulaly.
thanks for reading, comments and ideas welcome
thank you
