Just need to get this welding done and the engine in and running - then i can "dry" fit all the parts ive amassed before buying a cage and buckets - once i have them it will be time for tbs and paint (the expensive bit)

Im really enjoying the corsa at current though so may actually finish it lmao

So did a bit today

Tacked in and welded




Then the repair panel



Then the circles



Then ran out of gas with these left


Also melted a fuel pipe so took precautions


Lol fuel everywhere

Gave up with no gas and fuel allover - will finish tiny bit of floor once fuel panel done

So pub then toys

lots of work going into this,

andthose coilovers look weird without the adjusters.

Is their any way of telling how much more you can lower them by? idealy wanting up to 40mm more.

So left my little mate this morning

And set off in the dark

Got my mate and planned the route


Arrived to this at half 8


Went on the trailer pretty well



Stopped for a burger king (getting better at reversing)


Phew still there

I arrived at my pals - its living in his garage for a short while

He was quick to point out id loaded it too far forward like a spacker - meh least i made it home - maybe only just - this strap was iver the wheel when i left? Now the car is on top of it

Lost all gears taking it off the trailer - pushed it out of the snow (issue is a worn bush? On linkage - easy fix)
