well i bought it as a normal corsa, then i did this to it:-
then had a re vamp and went to this:-
and now its all back to normal for the car, just got it all painted and in process of putting it back together so its still bit of mess, not flatted bodywork down at all yet or buffed it up its just painted! i am happy with it tho, normal corsa once again!
used 2k paints for the first time, use so much less paint and seems to give mush betta finish! just need to get it finished off and back in one piece, then got mot at end of the month for it! iaz

madness, seeing it put back to standard, just shows that whatever u stick on a corsa, its still the same car underneath

this is the 3rd car i have painted! last ones have been in cellulose paints!
this time i envested a little in equipment for 2pac paints! seems to be betta!
not cost to much to paint also - hehe
took the car apart to paint this time to get all door shuts done properly! doors off, wings off, boot off, bonnet and bumper etc off
bit of contaminant in the paint but then again i did paint the car at 5in the morning cos i had work the next day so wanted to get it done over night! so tempreture not ideal!

*have got more money for it selling parts off than selling as modded corsa
*i was bored - lol
*gave me summit to practice painting on
