hi all thought id do a page basically showing progression of my corsa gsi i bought off corsatpot off here, paid £350 for her needs a bit of work im out of a job atm so ideal to be honest got it back on the 31st may on my birthday lol this is how it looked on the day of arrival all the body kit came with it apart from one l piece and jacking covers lol shes solid underneath




not to sure on the boot and bumper yet fancy a semi smooth one and the bumper is going too lol but soon as i got it back i went over it on what bits needed etc, was told the clutch was worn, firstly got it back all the seats out gave it a good hoover and got my cousin to wet vax all the seats etc and i cleaned the dash up with chemical cleaner good stuff lol came up really well, after going over it found a few problems power steering pump needs doing as whinin loads the cars sat for over a year or so, off to the breakers got a few things for her but the lights were a must to go so standard they went after MHWs in time, fitted a tigra scuttle panel and some velor mats looks pretty smart and some rear mud flaps too, sold the sxi wheels and bought the orignal gsi rims in white for it off pazz1991 off here, decided whilst on axle stands to paint the calipers removed them an this is how they now look



my wheels gonna track 5th one and get done white as a spare

upon refitting the bleedin aint right the master cylinder was makin a funny noise but gonna try sort that out tomorrow, got so many plans which are :

Front Strut brace
Rear strut brace
Whiteline Rear ARB
Uprated Brakes
Rear Disc Conversion
Polly Bush Front End
Coilovers
Harnesses but bolted in the floor directly behind seat
Respray in the blue it is now
De-cat
4 Branch
stainless piper system
alarm & delocked post 97 handles
Depo Lights
HIDs
MHW Rear Lights
Corsa B / Tigra Coin and whatever holder
Irmy door pins
sport black plastics and door cards
uprate sounds
Small Sub & Headunit
LED Bulbs for rear lamps
Punto Rear Wiper if i keep the wiper
GM Flat Blades
Cams but supposidly has cams no proof but pulls bloody hard
Airbox & Panel Filter once ive tracked the c16xe one down lol
Stamped Out Plates
smooth fuel cap
uprate leads
wind delflectors

im thinkin tryin to get it all done before it come bk on the road takes time but it'll be worth it lol got a few things to do on my list first though bearing in mind came with no history so im going all out and having full service, new cambelt and pump etc all oils the lot jus so i know, the brakes are new on it so thats a result but my list so far keeps getting longer lol

TO DO

sell suspension get coilovers
replace o/s ABS sensor and refit bulb
get paint
repair boot and bonnet
get drivers side L piece
new skirt clips and n/s/r window seal from vauxhall
replace clutch
flywheel lightened
stick body kit back ok
obtain a good few things from the breakers lol
rewire radio as they chopped the loom

well good news i got my front strut brace off ebay which was a touch and fitted my blue dash bulbs i had laying about lol

just got so much to get lol sold the front lights still debaiting bout rear bumper and boot jus unsure so much lol, im sure more things will get added to the list but next in line is the clutch lookin for somewhere to have the flywheel lightened next but tomorrow my wheels turn up so more pics to follow and this is how it sat before the wheels went lol

update pictures to follow, got my corsasport stickers on in silver, and then decided to paint the spare wheel well in black looks much better than white, my digi dash turnt up and got that wired in currently fibreglassing it to fit atm, and got a new boot switch that illuminates blue to go with my dash bulbs and my freshly installed heater control bulbs, got a few niggly bits out the breakers, fitted a new steering column price of a bearing was dearer than a column from the scrappers, next plan is the bucket seats ive got arranged.
