Vauxhall black then

I did think that was the best option but brother said other things to me and got me thinking.

Didnt want it bare shiny though - if i laquer it... Not sure.

True say.

Ive ages to decide anyways, not going on for a fair few months.
I thinks laquered Vauxhall Black will be the chosen colour.

Will do it at the same time as my mirrors, the offside one needs respraying laquering skills were a bit shit back then - arent great now, but you know.

Do leccy mirrors come totally apart? or i have to mask off like there is no tomorrow?

Only just got these pictures in my possession, so you know, i will update anyways.

My revisited picture looks like this -
First, she looked like this when i took the pcture -

Then i added what i wanted - alloys and skirts -

And this is how she came out -


Anyways, its nearly winter and mum was back to driving the car on the regs, so that meant i had to swap my alloys Plus it was MOT time so legal plate and lights also going on -




Picked all these out the tread on my white alloys So annoying -

LOL snail -

Might as well update why its on my mind.
Slight incident with mum and the car today, but she is fine and all is good......apart from the car


http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=466668
But if (fingers crossed) it wont be written off, then i will be rebuilding it and getting her back to normal
All a challenge So thats cool.
