Yeah im very tempted to say the least but still unsure cause the aggro swapping over insurance and parts off this car. I can tell the cars not happy about going though, little glitches keep coming up and the manifold slid apart on the 2 pipe part underneath at ashridge lol...

Yeah, strange that the b-pillars have split on yours although i saw a W plate Corsa with split b posts at work the other day, the later ones seem to be abit better in that department though, so strange to see some still do. With how cheap decent b's are now ive gotta say id be tempted, plus its a chance to up the engine size too. Im still in two minds what to do, but hopefully looking at the red one tommorow, which i hope will make my mind up!

Think chances are its deffo staying, but theres definately some niggley bits that need attending to. Cant believe how much salts stuck to the underside, its pure white , the bottom of the manifolds terrible too . Gunna need much love and attention once spring comes!

Urm loads now lol, cambelt seems to have jumped on my way home from work, so ive nicked my girlfriends corsa whilst i get round to fixing it, so probably head off and numerous bits and peices whilst its off, either that or may just pull the lot out and bung an 1800 in lol... Ill have to make my mind up over the next couple weeks, but first things first gotta get 6 months tax on the other one at the end of the month, and mot next month...

Belt looks a little slack



Didnt get a chance to do anymore than just pull the top cover off this weekend just gone, but will investigate further on Saturday... Think the 1400 is staying, but a lexmaul and different head and possibly cams will go in before going back on the road.

Dunno, just never really grew on me... So theyre up for grabs !

Might be interested in the heads Stu. Need pics, might have to wait until next month before i could have either of them off you though. As im short of cash, after spending this morning .

Also to update, the boss that came with the wheel is the non-airbag type. Dont think it can be used with an airbag column grr... Horn dont work as i think it runs on a different loom to the non-airbag type, so the corresponding ring on the boss and pin on the column are surplus i assume So gotta get a boss for that ... Ahwell get pics up in abit

Well heres the steering wheel and strut braces... Think the wheel will look awesome when its on, just a shame the boss aint the right one. But ill sort that soon ... Gotta spray the rear strut brace, think ill get it done in gunmetal grey or anthracite when the wheels are done, depending on what colour they go. The front on the other hand aint too bad, and i think can wait until the attention to detail OCD sets in

Yea thats what i thought mate, i used to have a mini with a smaller steering wheel than that, was so much fun flicking it through bends, without half as much effort lol... So i thought id give it a go and see what i think to it...
