Bored with tigra i wanted another corsa, i bought this cos it was diffrent not in a good way or a bad way in my eyes just diffrent from the other cars i had owned.
I know from the start it needed:
Good Service,
Steering Rack,
right so i ordered the steering rack and ive had it for 4 days.
heres how it sat
so i pulled the backbox off the tigra
and went to drive the corsa off the drive and PING!!! went the handbrake cable.
so i took it to my friends garage ordered the cable and also fitted the backbox while changing the rear lights and the alloys.
heres how it sits atm. its got a long way to go but i like it as its going to be a long project.
this is how it sits know
Plans are : service, steering rack, missing trim parts and maybe change seats
EDIT: found the graph of a RR of the corsa just before i bought it ish

Just find a corner and peel them off, taking the glue off will be a bitch though, had to do it to my front windows the other week.
