new project

Post by sam13 »

here is my new corsa project you have to bear in mind i am only 17 and an aprentise machanic so money in tight so i do as much as i can with my money.

when i got it alot of the steering parts were missing track rod end ball joint etc. bonnet was knackered nasty old bumpers on it that were green drivers door was also green in had 2 white wings had to replace one of them aswel basically it was a right off and had been half repaired by some muppet who was clueless.
Image
took bumpers off painted calipers and drums and got some nice 17 wheels \"rip speed\" ok not the best alooys going but there were a good price.
Image
full combat wide arch kit fitted the kit isnt to much over the top is just right and makes it look sporty i know people dont like em but i think you will all like this 1 when it is finished.
Image
Image
wheels and calipers
Image
current corsa and new one together as one happy family
Image

Image
updated pics car came back with cracked wind screen so not happy and they tryed sealing the body kit into the body and looks stinkeh if you wont something doing properly do it your self. oaint work is really good just this stupid sealer stinkeh and windscreen. here are pics as promised anyway.

not best pics done em on me phone but i have been mad busy at work today will take some more tomoz with digi camara and everytime i take pics of the car it looks different colours so anyoying the real thing doesnt look like tht colour btw.

i have progrssed alot more since these pics so will post for you all give me your opions guys and any advice if you think i could do something to improve

and also if markymicro is reading this is the car i wanted to put either a tweaked up 1.4 single point injection into or a 1.8 single point injection if you remember hating about tht.

the reason for doing another corsa is coz i like em and also my current corsa is a merit so very standard.

new one is a gls 1.2v so got everything ,,,sunroof,,p/s,,e/w,,e/m abs etc etc

oo and also my current car in its before and after.
