here are my new parts ive purchased over weekend, now ive had chance for a better rear strut brace so i took the dive and got this one and im sellking other one in this thread, also brought stava rear bumper but due to changes ive now brought a rare as rocking horse shit rear which there are only 2 in the country apparently. and i also got a new plug cover for the xe.

here is my new plug cover as my other one is just plain plastic version with vauxhall on it,

here is the new strut braces, the small one goes underside between the lower arms

here is single wiper,

here are my polished parts for various parts of the car

and my new rear bumper from luke, love this bumper to bits it by far best lookin bumper for corsa in my opinion.

yes bin while but slowly going somewhere now, front end should all be built up by christmas then need to do the rear but that will be easy, all parts are cheap and just get rear beam powder coated.

there are only 2 of those rear bumpers in existance and both are in my home town at mo less other one has sold. it is quite simply the most stunning loking rear bumper there is for corsa b although some will disagree lol

got the strut brace off a m8 cheap its brand new and un-used looks like it could be a bit of kit but i wont no til its on the road again.

few more parts to add and some work carried out, as previously said i have removed cam/rocker cover for prepping and painting and im waiting on a full anodized set of cam/rocker screws form demon tweeks in red.

brought new filter and hose, painted exhaust heat shield and throttle cable bracket in same colour as wheels, and painted the coilpack bracket and cam sensor bracket in gloss black and brought new cam cover rubber.

so here is the rocker cover rubbed down, needs more prepping before i prime it, there is no picture of cam cover as thats at work.

here is the coilpack cover and cam sensor cover painted glos black.

here is the exhaust heat shield and throttle cable bracket painted in same colour as wheels.

yesterday i popped over to colect my new induction hose form lmf vauxhall and the to a shop to get a new filter.

here is new cam cover rubber.

and the cap covers for oil/pas/water freshened up with a strip and respray.


next week rocker cover should be all done and will be time to put engine back together.
