The corsa still lives, in hibernation - few progress pics of bodywork













Arches cut, rears welded back up, skirts are fixed onto metal bracket that goes all the way along the sill. Rivited and stuck on with tiger seal with expandable foam behind. Rock solid basically. Arches are to be fitted properlly yet, front and rear bumpers currently being filled out. On another note, off to pick up irmscher grille for the veccy on saturday

Nice broom!

I actually like that kit. Take the back lights off though, they are horrible.

cheers, no have kept the corsa just wanted something for every day with the amount i have spent on the corsa not much point in me selling up for what id get back. Really happy with arches so far, gap is now massive, wheels catching were the main thing letting it down last time.

do u have any pics of the cut arches - I keep meaning to get round to fitting my new arches - but the thought of cutting the body scares em a bit - how much needs to come off?
If possible and you can get pictures - You would be my hero and I would carry a picture of you in my wallet!

arches are going to be seperate from the bumpers, also bumpers will be a peice of take to remove as front will need to be off to get to toe hook to run it down the strip.
