a while ago I purchased a shell, among some headaches over finance and sourcing parts I have come to 1 month off being on road...heres whats been going on:-

The front of it after posting it down my driveway…on 1.2 8v hubs and front struts, and nova rear springs!



Rear shot of how it was…just imagine no clusters or exhaust

well...I wanted it as a sport, and in total I have saved myself a fair bundle doing it this way, and fitted a c16xe as I desired

Looks good, a lot better than before in my opinion.
The flatblade wipers are cool aren't they, subtle change and more modern looking.
I've fitted them on my Astra too, proper retro-fit GM parts. They also fit Corsa C's.

aye ordered them from a site online, and got a good quality bosch rear....came to just over 20 for the 3, and considering how long the last set of bosch I had lasted(still working fine on last car when sold it...) I would never buy other ones

I have an irmscher splitter which I am really tempted to try painting and fitting myself, and im planning on some 16s at the weekend I then just want a HID conversion and maybe just some paint tidied...all in, including the wheels I want,and brand new tyres,with new MOT etc the car stands me at under 1500?
