not much progress of late due to the weather, other than fixing the exhaust after the rubbers stretched and the backbox hanging low so fitted some powerflex ones, blowing now though so need to sort that, also sold the cesaros so driving round on the sport wheels for now until i fit the new wheels next week, a few pics of how its looking now from a couple of weeks ago
and a pic of the new wheels with the massive tyres , need to fit my 45's, went for something different and if i dont like when fitted il sell on and get something else

After looking at old pics I kinda agree, but after having them on my last corsa then this i was getting bord with them, but the astras didn't cost much so when fitted if I decide I don't like il buy another set of cesaros or softstars

Update:
Not the best of updates but an update non the less, the backbox was becoming a problem, it kept dropping weekly due to it being to big and the hangers not being in the right position until eventually it dropped and hit a brake pipe and split and had no brakes, with a lot of people having the sportex backbox I figured it would be a better fit so purchased one, fitted it last week and much better just need some smaller rubbers to raise it slightly and the exhaust problem i've been having pretty much from the beginning will hopefully stop a couple of pics of how the backbox is sitting at the moment and more pics of the car
oh and also done this to my sump
yep nice crack just above the the gm logo and dent which I cant pick up with the camera, which resulted in a visit to the scrapyard
have had a few little things coming in the post this week so should have some updates next week once fitted
comments welcome

Update:
Done a few little things this weekend to make the car a little cleaner looking, pics
new number plate light lense
new aerial seal, I know these perish and mine was missing completely
sorted the rusty brakes out after meaning to do them since I owned the car 6 months ago
rusty brakes
painted, what they look like behind the wheels , well what you can see of them anyway
flat blade wipers fitted, had some fitted to my last corsa and look better IMO
and thanks to tom71 for doing this, has sorted out the rattle nicely
corsasport.co.uk stickers
couple more updates yet to come on the general clean up ready for pvs, wont be completely happy with it as really it needs a full respray for it to be mint, stonechips etc, think i've got abit of ocd
comments welcome

Bit late but never mind, never tidied up the bodywork as much as I wanted to before pvs as I left everything to last minute as with everything and run out of time, pic of it at pvs with my good friend jj's brocade yellow corsa
never bothered cleaning it till a couple of weeks before billing and fell out of love with it straight after pvs, so hasn't been many updates except lowering it abit on the back and fitting a plain grill for a change, I was considering getting rid and getting a Corsa C, but since going to billing and seeing all the clean Corsa B's I've changed my mind and am going to keep it, for now anyway anyway pics of it at billing taken from a few threads on here because my phone camera's rubbish:
