It is pal, I'm friends with Danny an rich who own it.

Isnt that picture at dynodaze?

It's because I was in different minds on which route to go then i ditched the project due to finding more faults on the bodywork

Sri looked best in top Picts looks ruined now love the new car tho

Ive given up mate, bought a jap toy and now turning that into a rocket lol

Currently selling all the bits on this in classified

Here's my new car

Id put the plate exactly where it was before, would look cool imo.

mine was same, u got exactly rust on same places as me, exactly the same ones and it took me 10 minutes to do it all properly + welding ... u give up too easy mate, dont give it up :))

Not keen om the boot, rest looks good though:).

Had high hopes when i opened this thread and seen the 1st cpl of pictures, then as i kept scrolling down all hope was lost. Slowly ruining a good looking car that had potential. White SRi's look awesome with the red bumpstrips and pre-face bumpers. Just how they should be imo. Nice set of wheels, wee drop, and a bit time spent on getting the bumpers back to original black and it would have looked spot on.

Take it it was an SRi 8v to start with??

Changed the theme to white, gloss black and yellow.

So naturally had to sort the engine cover, just needs lacquering.


Heres the cav arb fitted



Also, finally managed to get my rear bumper and arches off,
Rear end was actually in good condition


Until I got to the arches...


And


Until I spotted this


I'm gutted, an don't know if I can take it further....

But I thought, fuck it I will sort all the rust shite out, just gotta save a bit.

Also need some ideas on the rear plate location.




Or



I'm starting to get somewhere now, just gotta sort the front end out e.g discs, new stiff bushes, under brace and find where a little oil leak is coming from.

Thanks

coming together now mate, ive got some door pins for sale exactly the same as those lol :)

EDIT: have you wired that interior light up yet? ive looking at getting one but not sure if it will be an easy job or not

when are you going to start to pring it to meets ? :lol:

I've always wanted one mate, so this being my first project without thinking I'm gona be voiding my warranty like the rest of my cars. I thought feck it :)

like it apart from the smooth boot :(

Looks like a clean early example mate.

The bonnets not staying that colour, just needed inspiration to kick my arse into gear.

Quick update. At the minute I'm collecting parts, but due to all my tools being nicked I've had a delay on everything.

Heres a few pics just to update.

plans sound good!!

i'll be watching this one :thumbs:

white with anthra roof and tops would look beast! Looks a good base and plans sound good! Not a fan of fully smoothed boot but thats just my opinion ;)

Hey,

Thought I would start up a project thread, as the title says its going to be a slow one but hopefull when it gets there it will look great!
Its a corsa b sri in white, with a 1.4 sport engine in.
I bought the car 3 months ago as my new shape colt has been written off but not payed for yet!
Cost me £300 and all that needs doing is a new windscreen, there is a hole in the down pipe and a few bits of rust.

when i bought Mo;



Where i have got too;





Plans are the get a post 97 front bumper-DONE
Paint bumpers white with black or anthracite bumper tops and arches
Black or anthracite roof
Lowered between 80-100mm
All exhaust system redone with a 3" outward rolled tip
Single sub build in the spare wheel well.

An probably loads more

Progress will be slow as I have just moved out of the rents and I am trying to do everything myself.

Comment welcome.

Thanks

Jamie
