Hi everyone I'm sean and this is my frost blue Corsa merrit
I've already started work on this beast. My first mod was fk coilovers which I modded to get them lower now there on the bump stops and still not low enough. Second mod was these
they were a mess when I got them so I polished them up a bit better. I then swapped them for the sport wheels I have at the moment, as the cav slabs didn't fit right on coilovers, they were touching and I had to space the slabs out 15mm and then jack up the coilovers as the wheels were on the arch lol. So I was well happy when I got the sport wheels as I could have a negitive camber for once without the tyres rubing on the strut.
Once I done all that I decided I wanted leather interior so I found a set of cream front seat on eBay. I bided on them and one them at £3.50 lmao I was well pleased, with the seats in I decided to strip the lot :-( big misstake. So I got all black door cards and plastics. Once I got all that I found a mint rear Cali cream seat on Corsa sport. So once I got it all in I was happyer much warmer and nearly complete just need carpet and foam undrlay.
I have lots of plans for this car still and it feels like it's getting there.
my not to distant future plans
I fancy abit of camber on the back done
I have a gsi skirts just need L piece's, and spoiler to fit
need carpet despratly done
Future plans
Gaz coilovers
weller wheels or banded steelies
1.6 turbo convesion
gsi bumper
full car resprey same colour just an refresh
subtle tinted windows
Update:
I had ago at cambering all wheels
I started by undoing the rear hubs and putting some washeres behind the bottom bolts
Before
after
update i got my 110mm springs
just got these through the door
it looks like this
Little Update
I dunno if this has been done before but I have put a Corsa under seat tray on my calibra seat, it gives me that little extra space in the car
also I now have a cigerrete litghter in the ash tray, as my merit didn't come with one :-(

looks to be a nice clean shell. Very nice starting point.
Are you going to colour code the bumpers, handles etc at the same time as getting the respray?
Frost blue is a stunning colour, I will be watching this space

Thanks for all the coments. I do love my car but there is little bits I need to sort out still like my off side rear wheel I had a bald tyre and a puntcher also I need a bigger engine lol it's so slow on the 1.2 4 speed lmao. I have a set of gsi skirts and spoiler but I have no l piece's and I want to colour code the spoiler before I put it on. I think I'm going to stay with the 14's now as they look better at this hight
