Following on from DjGritt's thread http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=504081 is 'The' shonky Corsa.

It has been purchased by a friend and work colleague.

So far the Weichers rear roll cage has been removed and sold, this is because over the winter it will be having a full weld in Custom Cages rollcage fitted just like the one in my Nova Saloon.

The only other noticeable change at the moment was the removal of the Vauxhall steeringwheel/airbag and fitment of a nice new Deep Dish 350mm Suede 'rally style' wheel..

Could do with a new gear gaitor. So glad this is still living on though. One of my favourite Corsas.

I expect he'll do something about it when the dash is off for flocking.

They are very well priced too. Good effort!

Though, I do wonder how many of the plans have had your influence...

Yeah, indirect was included in my thoughts.

I know he isn't likely to be finding these sorts of things on Online Retailer places without assistance
