should have just got it on the road ASAP rather than needlesly replaceing nuts n bolts etc.

Its easy to lose heart with things that sit doing sweet FA for a long time.

I lost patience with that car after it kept failing!

Fuck the dash - dont need it

another point...
You dont NEED lightweight windows and panels

They are an easy thing to change once you have some tracktime in the car!

Get it running, and 'sort' it later. I'e fuck it if it looks crap and isnt 100% complete to plans!

ive chopped them out, but a little too far, it wont mot with them. as its a nasty edge, and i cant get a edge cover to stay in, so i have another pair of doors im gonna chop out but a little less aggressive, and take the side impact bars out of them and bolt them on.

way i feel im kust gonna bolt it all back together

i have just worked out its cost so far, and it isnt far off 4k

i reckon if i stuffed old panels back on, steel ones, and with a few pipes etc i could have it running for 4k

seems a lot for a corsa. eeepp i probably shud not have worked it out.

to be fair thou against some other "track cars" its pretty cheap

I've thought about just stripping everything off because i had alot of problems with my project. It got to the stage where i had put to much money in to stop. Keep it going dude, it will all make sense when its all together.
