My Breeze project

Thought Id start my new project thread. I purchased this Corsa B two weeks ago the sum of £400. It has 11 Months MOT & 6 Months Tax. I wanted another Corsa as ive had a few 1.4 sports, a 1.2 16v and 1.0 and they have been the best projects. I was after a low millage shell that was tidy, standard and without much faults. My plan is to to hopefully plant a B204 Engine into this.

Anyways enough blabbing here's the car :

Then purchased a few mods :

Chrome dial rings for the speedo
Image

Image

Then thought id try and see what colour coded speedo needles would look and I think they didnt come out too bad
Not bad at all for a £15 mod in total
Image

Then i managed to bag a set of Vectra b Chrome handles for a £5

After

And just collected a debadged grille for a tenner

Oh and Happy 2014

Its surprising how much difference just a few small mods make! Just changing the grill makes it look 100x better!

Very nice looks good. I like the chrome rings on the clocks. So simple but looks alot classier lol

Keep up the good work
