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

here's my sri 20xe project, its going to be my new run around. i have become bored of my corsa c 1.0 12v nice car just not quick enough (clean and tidy will post few pictures), this will be my run around as i am also building my mk2 gte c20let project!

anyway i got it cheap from a mates brother as the cambelt jumped off because the engine mount bolts came out for some unknown reason! the plan is to fit my old GTE engine which i know all the history and has been looked after. the Sri has cover 69,000 miles and is pritty solid.

The plans is it re-gasket my GTE engine and tidy the rust parts up and have it back on the road in 2-3months ready for when i go to the ring again in sept.

here are pictures of it when i got it:










Work so far:























Plans:

Weld b piller cracks
sort rust at windscreen
put white wheels off my corsa c
re-underseal
paint fuel tank
fit new GTE brakes
paint suspension arms
Sort engine

and the list gets bigger........

let me know what you think

cheers dale

well its been a long time since i updated been working day and nights, here's a few pictures:

As it rests









was really happy with the condition of the car untill i took the rear bumper off and i was pritty disheartened

more pictures to follow

these pictures are of the o/s/r inner arch and the rear panel, i chose to replace the rear panel which the pictures will follow shortly.

Pictures From last weekend and today replacing the replace panel:



















would of done more today but my gas regulator broke and to piss me off a little more i snapped the tip in the swans neck part of the welder, and machine mart isn't open till monday

Few new bits i got:

Brand new Bonnet
Brand new Fuel Tank
Rear Panel (which is fitted)
GSI Front Bumper
Opel Spark Plug Cover
Kent Cams Ast1612

looks pretty nice tbh.. wht you doing to it after you finished?

i will prob keep it for a year and sell it on, i get bored quickly.

well little update from monday where i got few hours on it:










seam rather than spot welded because i don't want moisture getting in between the joints, got to grind it back fill/seam seal the joints and thats one side done. slowly getting there.

Thats one big Project!

I love this "Project Run around 20xe"

My little project run around is a 1.0l ha ha ha

well the car was pritty much done (welding wise) until i took the back bumper off, then i spoke to a friend who's doing a full respray cash in hand so i thought i might as well do it properly

yer well i drive a 1.0l corsa c as a everyday car had it about a year now, kinda getting bored of going slow and my insurance is alot cheaper now i'm 21 with 3years ncb
