Right, thought i'd update this as it hasn't been done for ages.
Got the seat belts mounted properly before anyone starts
After the last update i've been busy! Got some German type pressed plates (i did order them with GB and but they turned up with D instead!)
I was then invited by Fast Car to go onto their stand at USC Show in August.
While i was there i organised the feature the van was to have and set a date for the photo shoot. At the show i was also asked to go to a show called ZGZM Tuning Day over in Belgium by one of the organisers.
Convoyed there with a few others which was cool, and had a right good weekend
Fast Car shoot
Went to a couple more shows which was a small one at Grantham and the lat one i went to was Trax, but have no pics of them.
I then decided to paint my Rh Cups centre's a dark anthracite colour....
.....and then sold them to Karisma_corsa.
At the moment i'm rolling on 3 spoke SRI wheels which isn't cool
Look at all that room i have to fill!!!
My plans are for some very wide steelies which are being made now. Hopefully i'll have these back later this week and maybe a chequer board roof like below?

I didn't put a special thanks to Corsasport on my feature That was Iaz and his Bravo Corsa.
How much has it cost? Too much but a LOT less than the MR2 cover car, but its been worth it for the friends i've made and the places i've been to.

Looks good mate, not to keen on the lack of windows tho lol
I remember seeing that van when Roy owned it, very quick it was. He was responsable for that mega quick corsa that Lucky B on here used to own

Willay, black roof wouldn't work as theres no roof rails for the roof to end if you know what i mean.
Eck, yeah got this from Roy. If i was to have another XE Corsa, i'd deffinately see if he'd do the work for me. I've had it nearly 3 years now and its never let me down.
