Cheers Mark! Your mirrors will be adding a finishing touch to my plans

Damon, it's pretty much a complete sset-up, the fronts are normal struts but with air bags in place of a coil spring, so the front coilovers are replaced. For the rears you have to use shortened shocks and the air bag replaces the coil spring on the beam.

Kinda had a loss of interest as i found a leak in my boot when i was planning out the false floor and tank/compressor set-up a few weeks back so i've given myself a kick up the arse and given myself a target of finding and fixing the leak in my boot and having the bags trial fitted in time for the MK meet. Been thinking of some trick stuff to do with the interior too, thinking of moving/hiding the headunit away and having the air ride controls where the head unit used to be, thinking i'll give it a go anyway. Need to find an upholsterers or something local to get my leathers repaired as the bolsters starting to wear, might even get some stuff trimmed while i'm at it. Thinking up some crazy plans which probably won't happen but i so wish would. Overall goal is to have pretty much everything sorted over winter/spring to hit next season of shows hard

Cheers for the offer Paul, an extra pair of hands can always come in handy, i'll get dan to give you a shout if we need ya bud need to get some rear bag mounts made up, been speaking to Ray from rayvern for that. The glove box was my initial idea for the headunit, should just be a case of extending the ISO adapter to reach and finding a decent enough way to mount it all up

Something that might be up your street is to mount the facepanel in the visor and have the head unit hidden somewhere (Underseat maybe). I done this on a old VW, Just ment a bit of wiring.

That would be quite cool! Would mean you could mount it perminantly somewhere

Yeah, It takes a bit of work to get the faceplate to sit in the visor and stay there, and the wiring needs a little messing around as obviously you have to do each individual pin.

Takes time but on the car I did it on, It was awesome.

That does sound quite interesting Alex, got any pics of it done? Only reason i was thinking of having it hidden away in the glovebox or something was cos i'd have my audio controls on my veccy gsi steering wheel to control everything without having to reach for it like

When it comes to mounting it in the glovebox its quite simple if you have the cage and some other bits of sheet metal you can make a simple holder up that would do the job well.

As for the bag mounts if you know what needs doing then my mate is a shit hot welder and could sort you out?

and i hope im needed then as said i always wanted to bag my old corsa

No pics of the one I did unfortunately, Although I'm sure you could find a few other examples on the web.

I think the rear bag mounts are just a piece of metal bolted to the top/bottom with tube welded to them to seat them in the spring cups, not sure though
