howdy all

this is my current wip (i have had a few)

picked this up on saturday for £600 needs a bit of work but all is planned out

its a 1.6 corsa b sport, has been lowered all round, back box, alloys, lex ARSE lights, angle headlights and KnN filter

these are the pics of how it looked the day i bought it

as you can see it needs a bit of work, rust in places which is soon to be sorted out but for £600 i cant really complain

so far i have debardged it, gave it a bloody good polish, put an old set of tinted l.e.d rear lights which need re-tinting

and lastnight i did this

used sharpe pens but have touched it up and looks alot better ;)

mirrors which i ordered and got today

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT

plans: MURDERED OUT

set of coilovers

bucket seats and harnesses which i have and now on the look out for subframes

bonnet bra

new alloys which i have found

tinted windows as of 2moz

body work sorted

custom exhaust tip

remove rear seats and boot build

bits retrimmed in alcantara

wiring needs sorting whoever done the wiring on it needs a slap, lets say its a bodge

thats all i can think of for the time being

let me know what you think :D

i dont mine by spraying the bit i was gunna draw on in primer then drew it all and coloured it, masked it off and resprayed it then laquered it all when finished and came out a treat, will get a pick up of how it looks ;)

im sure i can sort something out though mate if you get a pick of what you want, not to much detail coz there isnt really enough room or i could do free hand

will have to be proper clean before you send it and i will get to work and send it back all for £30!!

what do people think?
