Photos are alittle old but wanted to give the post abit of on update.
Some of the work i have been doing.
Start by the ultimate lock up, forget your local pub. As said before my mate owns a lazar profile place so here the after hours lock in, help your self and make what you want 
Lazar cutting machine
CNC Bender
Overveiw of the toyshop
So made up my fuel tank aswell as lazar cut aload of other bits i needed for parts i am making (see below)
Oil Catch tanks (still needed to weld on intake pipes)
Header tanks (1 x engine water 2 x chargecooler may need one more engine water depending on how i run the rad and system)
Some parts which have arrived, Kevlar arch liners, Quafie gearknob, Solid mounts and battery and carbon kit to make some items.
Window vent cut and ready to fit
Front and rear exhaust all finshed (needs welding and wastegates) only having a single tail pipe out the rear.
Made a 100% carbon strut brace and heater cover.
Also one night over using another mate’s work to CNC all my gear linkage setup (based around the VW motorsport shifter)
Loads of items off to the powder coaters (above water tanks etc) so will update when back and fitted in place.
Sorry for no major updates but its keeping me busy lol
cheers

your just using the strip at the same time... i understand that but i mean in terms of fastest corsa.. in the vaux community sort of thing..
please dont take my comment as trying to take away from your achievments with the corsa, it was mearly meant as seeing a corsa that could destroy yours would be even more amazing

Little update.
Playing with some carbon, made a replacement removable slam panel.
Come out really well still some work to do on it to make 100% smooth but as my first go really pleased, going to make my door cards now.
Fitted up header tank and oil catch tank (you can not see on the bad photo) an placed carbon panel on there to see weather i like the look.
got the window vent all fitted up aswell (outer metal plate sent away to be powder coated)

V6 is one of my most favorite Corsa's ever. Will make an awesome first car. Doubt i would be giving the keys for it to a 17 year old lad though.
