Corsa is coming home tomorrow so i can do some of the shitty jobs i need to do on it. Then once I have done those jobs the arch is getting sorted out and the exhaust mated up. Hopefully this will happen within the month.

Its gone on the front edge and has a rust spot above the light. TBH i think you could easily find a far better one more locally to you.

I recall working on Bens Corsa LET before he painted the floor, I know exactly what you mean.

Done a bit on it today. First i fitted these:
Then i fitted this:
I then finished stripping the cam cover down ready to paint it.
I have ordered a AEM wideband and exhaust bushes.
I also dropped the alloy radiator down at a tig welders to have some bits changed on it. They told me to call back on wednesday next week and it will be ready for collection.

Today I mostly swore, dummy spat and drew blood but this is the end result:
Yes thats right i got the bastard rack out. Here is how it stands at the moment:
Going to fit the new rack tomorrow hopefully along with wiring the wideband in which i have not got round to yet. Need to clear some stuff out of the way in the garage so i can open the drivers door fully. I should hopefully have the pipes tomorrow to finish the boost pipe routing so that will be another job done.
