Ideal Mate, its starting to come together now
I would stick with glacier white too to keep to a mint origional theme
Its the same with what Im doing with mine, once Ive sorted out the engine, suspension and brakes Im moving onto the bodywork and replacing most of the panels and then off to a respray.
Looking forward to more updates mate

wings, bonnet, boot, arches, bumpers and thats all i can think of for now.
Just want it to feel and look like a new car once its done, and thats quite an achievement with the way it is now.
But its definitly achievable

I would say white too. Cant beat a nice clean and straight example of a corsa! Hope the paintjob is a decent one as this is a good deep project

well after a trip to blaina in south wales i picked up the calibra turbo
met a guy called wayne off mig, really sound chap actually who didnt want to part with it...
really wants me to keep it on the road and i can see why because it is very clean and i got a right bargain with it really!!!
anyways heres some pics of it this morning:
well happy with it. runs sweet as a nut aswell and pulls strongly through the gears. 6th gear is also a nice touch on the motorway home
well if anyone is interested in any bits off it then u2u me
