i don't remember you getting grp or plastics in.
sorry to leave you out
they both have small blocks anyway which puts them ahead from the start.


bucket: the original and still the best (if it works again)

*UPDATE* (sort of)

cleaned it shocking, i know, but i thought, as it had sat in the garage covered in salt, dirt and oil for 6 months, it was about time i did

before :






after (much better):






for those of you who keep asking "does a bonnet fit in the back of a corsa?"

the answer is clearly NO.



need to do something with this little lot :



oh, and i decided to give the random MO's i had lying about a rubdown and repaint, in silver for now :





more to follow, eventually
