Quite surprised you went for a working Corsa, I thought you would have gone for a cheapy one with an engine gone or something, fair play though

You're definetly getting a move on

I was expecting a fucked one. But dan wants a mint motor with all the extras, and for that price, its a bargain i think

i figured if you get a fucked one you will have a fucked car forever really. With the new one i can sell the parts off it that i dont need to make up for spending the extra on it.
Like the alloys, interior, engine etc etc

Think all we need to scrape together now is the conversion kit, big brakes and swap some of the rebuild parts over! Will post some new pics of the corsa in a sec,...

No deadline, no need for one Not rushing it, want it to be spot on (engine wise) as other parts can be changed easily. I got a combat 2 bodykit with arches but dont think i really want a kit on it anymore tbh.! Yeah scratby is 2 min walk from my house as i live in caister on sea

Ok so delivery came as below:















ALL of it is wrong, seats wrong colour, harnesses wrong colour, sub-frames wrong and gliders are all for the left side! New ones hopefully coming soon!


Then stipped out the car like below, all went ok apart from one seat bolt that rounded off so had to dremel it out., buts its ok!

















Images of whats wrong, you can see they totally do not fit!







Then it was well nice weather and i managed to get hold of bodykit cheap off mate, so was worth a try my hand at fitting it. Went pretty well too.
BUT WAS ONLY AS A TRIAL TEST FIT, 99% SURE IT WILL NOT STAY ON!





























Got most of it done, just got to put on the side skirts and arches which i have jointed together. The boot and cyclone looked pretty nice i think. BUT NO GOOD FOR THIS PROJECT SO TOMMOROW ITS ALL COMING OFF AND ORIGINAL KIT BEING PUT BACK ON!
Also will remove the glue from the side strips, any ideas what i should use?
