finally got corsa brava out of the other shed to hopefully move back into my shed to do some work on, was hoping to get engine running in the tigra but i cant be bothered cos not got dads help cos he is busy on the farm!!! prob for next 4 months............hehe
well after bout 2 months of not moving of anything started first time from the key, well impressed, put the carches back on the doors so i could take ti round the yard faster round corners to c if arches catch and seems pretty good, didnt hear at catch, not badly if i did considering how low it is!!!
wud love to put air bags on it to get it on the floor!!!
here are some pics of the baby again, will start working on it once again so expect progress pics! alot of work to do on it!!! inside and out

Still not into this one as much as your other projects......they usually volley you straight between the eyes with mad styling & trick detail by this stage but I dont see it with this!!!

yea i c wot u mean, this one is more about being suttle tho and using wot i have! the car will be completed with leather interior etc etc etc, one off colour, for around 1.5-1.7k with ice install etc! so its to show u dont need a big wallet to create summit unique if different!

dont wanna chuck more money intot it by getting new wheels so will just customise these with new colours, the paint is also descided really by the colour of the leather i bought!!! just going to get paint mixed to match the leather! colour will not be mad
also pretty stuck with these wheels cos arches have been made to the wheels and offset of them, if i dot wheels with 5ml more ofset then they wud not go under aches, there is about 5ml space from wheel to arch on the rears

You cant sell JAGCORSA  How much do you think you would get for it anyway?
What did you do with the purple corsa?

i am kind of hoping to have the car totally done for 2 months time, getting hitmans car back in few weeks to re laquer and finish off!! so few weeks work in that, then got brother car to do some work on also, then back on corsa brava, some of the bodywork is pretty close, the rear bumper is the biggest pain, thinking of just buying a new one cos so many cracks everywhere!!!
but then again that gives me £100 less in budget to play with!!! ummmmmm
as for jagcorsa i dont wanna sell it but i dont have the time to do more work to it which i wanna do,
and all the cars will have to be sold by around april time when i am buying 50% of the lease of the pub i work at!! so need alot of £££££ for that
corsa brava will be completed then mot dont then hopefully put into demon tweaks show room with for sale sign on! hoping to get good amount for it cos its all custom really! inside should be nice also!

Not bad mate  Just hope JAGCORSA does go to a good home if you did sell Would be a shame to see it go to waste
What went on with the purple corsa then? Did you sell that?

You NEED to get JagCorsa back into the show scene again before selling it I'm sure theres loads of people who wonder what happened to it after tha Max Power cover feature
You need to gain more interest before selling it, then that'll help you sell BravaCorsa too
Still love your work though Proper Job!
