took a few pics of the corsa today as its the first day in ages it isnt raining.first pics of it since coming back from bodyship last week.






boot floor:



engine bay:




semi smooth boot:





as you can see in pics, the bodyshop sprayed the whole mirror white, usually these the plain uncoloured bit on top , might get this put back to how it was, what you guys think?
also not sure on colour coded handles, i had them plain before. got these sprayed to see if i liked it, have brand new lockless ones to go on later, not sure whether to spray them or leave them uncoloured.

pic of my custom carbon fibre guage pod, not sure if you can see, bad light:


this weeks job are:
-get windows refitted when new window seals arrive from vauxhall.
-waxoyl underneath
-plumb in new brake pipes
-hopefully send bits off for powdercoating.


also too a couple of pics of my van, bit dirty but never mind, new rear lights fitted the other day:

My bodyshop did the same with my mirrors, i couldnt ever decide so just left em


Did they miss some rust in the engine bay or is it just dirts? beneathe the steering rack?


looks awesome, boot is perfect and the boot floor looks so shiny
