Hey
I am very new to this forum so thought i would start a thread on my corsa b build.
Will start adding photos to the thread tomorrow

I used to own another corsa b 1.0 12v, but then some goon in a 4x4 drove into the side of it so had to change. I couldnt not go for a corsa so found a 1.4 sport going for £850 in fairly good nik.

So far modifications are everything of my old car:
slammed on borbet t wheels (although got some pretty bad forward rake going on)
carbon enclosed induction kit
south african corsa lights
smoked side repeaters
sportex race tube system exhaust with a 3" outwards rolled tip

tomorrow the car will be mopped and will have all badges and the side strips removed (will hopefully get some pictures if it isnt too dark) ('')

Because of money issues this thread will probably move along quite slowly but hopefully the end result will be worth it ('')

removed bump strips and badges of the car now, paint underneath rear section of the bumpstrips is a completely different colour so think i need a respray. Gave it a mop aswell.
2 weekends time all black trim will be de bobbled and sprayed gloss black with gloss black gsi side skirts smoothed into the arches.
Also started rubbing down and refurbing a set of cav gsi slabs
wills start posting up photos tomorrow!!!
