rite guys! gonna start a wee build thread on my corsa, progress will more than likely be snails pace but i will get there in the end anyway some stuff about the car: picked the car up off a neighbour for the amazingly low price of 20 quid!!! body work seems fine, no rust at the rear wiper either which i was surprised about haha only needed a bloody good service and a new battery so anyway drove it around standard for about 3 months before i actually got my arse in gear n started doin stuff!

plans are: cavvy slabs-done
gsi front bumper-done
gsi side skirts-done
coilovers- got fks on the now but theyre WAAAAYYYY too hard!!
colour coded bumpers-done
cav slabs done in anthracite
new engine
exhaust system, will just wait till it gets xe'd
will probs do more as i go along but thts the basics of what i wanna do

small update and some pics

well as ive said i bought a full gsi kit but the skirts and front bumper needed painted. i eventually came across a set of colour coded sideskirts and front bumper which im goin to pick up in the next couple of weeks will update more as i get more parts.

anyway heres a few pictures of what its like now, not much of a change apart from being dewipered on the rear, carabic rear bumper and arches, also got a smoke gray bumper on but thats coming off and being sold asap
