UPDATE: 01/04/08

Some new goodies arrived in the post this morning..

jbl speakers




Nothing that special but i dont really want to pay loads of speakers as they dont really bother me that much.

Door pods to fit the speakers..



Jamex 60mm suspersion..







if you look in the second picture of the suspension you can see that the rear springs are locked together and need to be twisted out but because they are tighter at the top its too hard to do so.. any ideas how i can seperate them?

UPDATE: 06/04/08

fitted the coilovers on the front and 60mm rear springs and put 2 of the sxi alloys on the back just to see what they would look lk..




also adjusted the coilovers all the way down and its pretty low..



maybe it should settle a bit lower aswel in a day or 2

Cool progress, you don't hang about

Always liked Astra Gsi rims, what colour are they going?

I would also like to know how easy it is to wire up those gauges in a Corsa.

Are you keeping the leather or selling it?

bought the lights off ebay mate for £30

astra gsi wheels are going black.. gauges shouldnt be that hard to wire up in a corsa, its only 4 wires.. swapping the leather seats with my mate for his cobra bucket seats which were my old seats
