** PRE WARNING ***
I tend to WRITE LOADS, I'm one of those “Can't forget the details” kind of people.. you know THE ANNOYING TYPE :lol: :lol:

So, a small intro to this Project...did I say small :lol: (sorry)

when I was around 10 years old, my old man bought a Corsa GSI... from that day onward I had to have a Corsa... Sure enough when I passed my test in 2007 I had bought myself a 1.4 16v Corsa Sport.. (See Below)
Those of you that are old timers on here may have seen a previous project thread about it, where hardly a thing changed :lol:



I had to sell the car due to the arrival of my daughter, so I was unable to do all the things I had planned. It was always the plan to buy another and I vowed that it would get the FULL WORKS! Having had a few cars since and more recently being in the position to purchase a third, it was time to buy the PROJECT!

The cars we have now are
The Family Seat Alhambra SE Lux 184PS DSG :D (I have to say, I rather like this car)



I've just traded in my Skoda Octavia VRS for a Superb Elegance CR170 for work.




So... The Project
Hopefully Our Project will follow a trend of cars with names on this forum and It's kindly been nicknamed by my wife and daughters as TEDDY as its a T Reg.. how original :lol:
Corsa Sport 1.4 16v Sport
We bought the car for the Grand sum of £150 :lol:
whether that was a good idea or not, I've yet to find out :D
As you will see from reading the advert, it needs work, A LOT :thumb:



Few more pictures of the car












These are the only pictures I've got of the car currently.
The car is Sat on a mates driveway while I search for storage for it and it will then get fully stripped.

I want to do as much work on this car as I can but I will need a lot of helping hands and a LOT of info from all of you lads on here.
My mechanical knowledge isn't fantastic, but I'm happy to get stuck in.
I will be doing a lot of the work with my son and the wife has said she is looking forward to giving me a hand with the Engine Build, :thumb: :D she wont when she knows the cost :lol:

Plan for the car
well the icing on the cake was Col's thread... Its just the way I'd always thought our Project would look externally and its a really great Example.
So really, you could just say there will be a twin rolling the streets... well you could, but that wouldn't be quite right! :D

You'll certainly see
- Roll cage
- Flocked Dash and components
- Bare shell Repaint – will be blue but may not be a Vauxhall Blue ;)
Not in this exact order but the car will get:
- Fully Stripped to bones
- Turbo lump (unsure if C or Z LET)
- All New Suspension and components
- Lots of Blood
- Detailing of hundreds of parts

Things I will decide along the way - Carpeted Interior at the front
- Which Turbo lump to use
- Carbon Fiber Parts (Wings, Bonnet and boot etc)
- Fiberglass parts
- Which Bucket Seats
- Lots of other things to decide too

Gents I just want you to know that this project will most likely take a few years to complete, but I want turbo fun next year, so if Turbo'd car comes up at the right price between now and then, I may have a second thread :D

I will update as frequently as possible and I will be on the hunt for LOADS of NEW or NEAR NEW Parts and loads of INFO... Stupid questions will be a weekly occurrence :thumb:

The next step is to find the car a home in East Sussex... I know there are a few of you Sussex lads still on here, so point me in the right direction if you know somewhere clean, tidy with water and electricity :D :thumb:

Any questions, Fire away

Thanks all I look forward to this!!
