I thought you meant the wheels. How do you go about colour coding them?

I like the wheel choice, from that pic they remind me of VXR nurburg wheels, I'd be tempted to just refurb them in white.

Nice project though, always had a thing for pre-97 sports.

Hi

The car looks like a tidy base, want to get my red corsa back on the road now!

Oh, and nice choice with the alloys, same as the ones I've got on my silver corsa.

Been sorting the wiring out for some Daytime Driving Lights! Got some vinyls off and gave it a bit of a clean!




Vinyls are off!


After a bit of T-Cut




The wheels...

Catastrophic engine failure! Buying another 1200 16v just to get it back on the road. silver one is off the road too, fitting a whole pile of parts to it too!

You have any engine plans for the car?

I want to redtop it, mines been off the road for quite a while too. Wasn't running right at all, after we done the power steering, and rreplaced waterpump and when we put new cambelt kit on. Took it to the garage to put it on a diagnostic machine all that come up was the knock sensor, thought there would be loads was quite happy and didnt have to pay turned out it was the cambelt tensior making it sound like it was a dying diesel! Vauxall fitted new cambelt tensior and done extra work no idea what but it runs sooo smooth and sweet now!

Redtop would be cool, I want a redtop corsa but don't have the time to build it! What about doing a Saab B204R conversion? Not an awful lot dearer than a C20XE & a good bit quicker in some cases!

Good to hear it's running properly again, (normally) always simple things!

It's cheaper to just buy a Redtop Corsa, I'd sell you mine but it's too addictive!

You can pick up a decent C20XE Corsa for under a grand.
