Hi, As my Nova project turned into a full restoration, i sold my cavalier daily driver, and got another corsa b.
When i bought the corsa it was in need of a few things being sorted/replaced to be honest, heres how it was, apart from had 17" mvk multispokes fitted to it.
Over the top painted interior parts:
"shopping list" on the door 
So after a good wash, i started replacing all the white interior bits with nice std items:
Engine was removed, stripped down, cleaned and painted.
Whilst engine was out, all engine mounts, steering rack etc were repainted black, ang generally tidyied the bay up.
I purchased an F15 CR gearbox, cleaned and painted:
Engine was stripped down, and rebuilt with new gaskets etc.
And my nova at the side looking extremely dusty.
Whilst all the suspension components were off, polly bushes were fitted (still to do the rear beam)
Ive always had a keen interest in rallying, so decided - white car, subtle rally theme.
This involved painting and fitting a more subtle rear bumper, Gm dealer sport replica mudflaps, Tow eyes painted red, cesaro "motorsport" badges on grill and tailgate.
Also the "shopping list" on the doors was removed, a tint strip fitted. M3's changed for dtms (bit less ott, and smaller than std mirrors)
Brake calipers, disk bells, and drums painted red.
The 17's were 7" wide and the offset was a bit low, so were rubbing on the rear arch trimp with any weight in the back, so they were changed to 15" cav gsi rims with 195/45 Avons.
How the car looks now:
Magnex exhaust and mudflaps:
Better looking interior
What does everyone think?
If anyones interested im thinking of selling the car, as id like something a bit bigger (more practical, as i will start car sharing for work in few weeks) such as a 1.6/1.8 mk4 astra 3-door, possibly focus.
So i may be interested in a swap - try me
