now will have a almost std tune, reliable 2ltr, will be left bodywork wise totally std, a set of grp wings and bonnet may appear, along with perspex windows
here are some pics from today
the scrappy i was at was queensferry car and commercial breakers, they seem to have a decent stock of corsa's each time i go there, 01244811109
thought you guys could do with another source or corsa bits
the donor car that the dash and loom came from
new dash home and ontop of the shell "was raining" so was working on it in the garage
new loom in rear wheel
front end
old loom stripped out
couple of goodies i purchased
front end stripped down
gotta sort this then weld on strength plate kit
cant wait to get the grinder on it tomorow weather permitting
