Helllllloooo!
Well decided to start a little project thread.
Dont have many pics atm but will update tommorrow when ive got some.
Done a few things so far:
-Heko Wind Deflectors
-Clear side repeaters
-Tigra Scuttle
-GSI Interior
Next i decide to colour code my boot lock surround, this is the only pic ive got but u get the idea.
![](http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/HiImJC1/Silver%20Corsa/20110218_001.jpg)
Next on the list was some wheels,
Some astra 6 spokes came up at the right price.
Got them home and sprayed them white with opel center badges.
![](http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/HiImJC1/Silver%20Corsa/20110503_001.jpg)
Then trial fitted to see how they will look
![](http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/HiImJC1/Silver%20Corsa/20110517_008.jpg)
Only pic ive got of the actual car atm.
Wheels now have proxies on.
Few weeks later, came across a 1.6 for sale so went and picked it up from jibjob.
Got it home and straight on the stand to start stripping, dont really know what im doing so learning as i go.
any help is more than welcome ![](/board/images/smile/smile.gif)
