this is why the first Rallye fucked up so much just spend a bit and get a proper job done. Also put some nicer wheels or put the stock ones back on.

Why did the first rallye fuck up? You didnt ever see it. I didnt use hammerite on those but was advised too.

I am putting nicer wheels on didnt you see my thread about wheels?? Im gonna pay Rob to do them hes done enough before and his wheels have also had a top finish.

sand blasted, about £20-£40

removes anything paint wise on the wheel so takes them back to bare alloy

search for powderocoaters or blast cleaners on yell

My money goes on the engine though, my bodywork is pretty crap really. As long as the wheels look respectable il be happy. I see where your coming from though.

Whats that buttfuck?

Did you not want to reuse a headgasket on the old Rallyee rather than buying a new after problems when it was first replaced? Not to mention debating whether to spend a bit extra on a skim?

Yes I saw the post about the new wheels...I'd stick with the originals as them wheels you got were a cheap set that doesnt suit the light weight credentials of the car.

I just sometimes find it amazing how people can buy decent cars then ruin them by doing cheap stuff rather than waiting and saving for something decent. Just costs you more money in the long run!

Car needs some Speedlines (not alessios) or some motrosport wheels!!!!

Like team dynamics? And how much did you spend on an old corsa?

Im not a mechanic, I never said I wanted to re-use a headgasket, I didnt know what I was doing. You dont know what your talking about.

I used 180 Grit so start off with, and to remove the main kurb marks, then 320 Grit, could even go up to 500 Grit if you wanted.
