Hi all here we go again, this project started out on my r reg green corsa it was all finished bar the 17s. they came and went on then found out that on full lock turing left the wheel was fouling on the inner body of the car.i tried all most everything to sort it out but no luck........any way i won a red gsi bumper on ebay and had some odd color skirts, so i then found a red corsa for 100 quid on a k reg so i have now re-shelled the green one and it all lines up happy days. here are some pics before and after let me know what u think.

i will get some more pics on when the skirts and rear disk beam and spoiler are on.

I like this.

Some finished engine bay pics wold be nice.

The XEV looks so much more at home in the bay than an XE.

Get some vids up of how it goes too.

You WILL NOT be disapointed. These engines are so cheap and not as expensive as the redtops. Youve made a great choice. Just wait till you get it on the road.

You will need to sort the alternator out as it will catch the chasis leg.
