After coming to a decision, im going to start stripping the interior and all the comfyness in a bid to save some weight and get it ready for track days. First up, doorcards, ICE so i can start a fund... Been hiding for neigh on 2 years...

Wooo daylight....



There may be trouublllleeee ahheaaaadddd.. Dum di dum.. need to get it out of here.. Bugger..



Last few shots of the comfy ass corsa.. Retrimed the interior in the same material as the seats including false floor.





A rareity?





Was like a bed its so comfy..



Floor out, cabling All that material is sound deadening. Got loads to come out yet, all the rear 3/4 and doors are packed so tight. Hit the panels and its a thud opposed to the corsa tinner noise. Gonna miss that "well put together" sound... lmao

ICE out..



Door stripped.



Next few months will entail getting the electrics sorted, engine serviced, rear 3/4s and sound deadening out. Ass is already in the air, removed a good 20kg form the car already.

This is the bonnet STILL sitting warpped up in a blanket in the garage.. Arnies old one.. Weighs a good 10kg less than my welded one



Gonna be taking out the electric windows etc as well so that'll all be up for sale in the future along with the lower doorcards. Will be selling the front seats and all 4 matching doorcards at some point, but not yet as i've got to buy 2 lightweigh buckets, and that aint gonna happen for a while due to funds.

Drive is a joke, its at my mums, always used planks n bricks to stop the front grinding out, bumpers gonna have to come off now Used to get my bike up that in the snow Not funny at the time

No engine tuning, just no induction hose from AFM. But it looks so much better like that Maybe a sock instead?

Vegas, rear end looks like....



Bike engined corsa, naaahh not in my price range.. Only bought a house this year, stripping does't cost much

Seats are Cobra LeMans recliners. I thought the VXR was comfy, but these are soooo nice, like an armchair Gonna be a while before any of the interior goes up for sale though.
