Getting all the plastic trim painted matt black so it looks factory(no more grey).

Just undecided on wheels.

Well i'm not near the corsa till the mora so after i spent most of the day with the mrs an kids i thought i would give the old bus a good going over, I washed an dried the car then cleaned up under the bonnet a little and the mrs gave the inside a bit of a clean.

Anyway a know its not a corsa but its still a vauxhall, Hope you like it....











Excuse the exhaust an tyres, they got done after i took the pics

Couple of reflection shots




Engine bay




The interior all cleaned






And a wee pic from a vauxhall day out at Knockhill


Hope you like it and again sorry its not a corsa

Will have more pics of the wee corsa after more work is done the mora. Tank and heatsheilds should be done, More welding an some underseal put on

Back to the corsa,

Got a good bit done the day. Cleaned the tank up as much as poss without buying a new one an got it painted, Got the heat sheilds done aswell. The welder never came so couldn't get any undersealing done Then decided to make a start on the aerocatches. They are taking ages to do, Got one of them finished and made a good start to the other. Will finish that next weekend.

Pics......



Templates measured and stuck in place





Holes drilled in the front panel and bonnets pins just placed for now





Then the cutting started, Not got pics of the holes cut.











The bonnet pin on the passenger side all lined up and fitted





Will have the passenger side finished next weekend.

Slow progress the day but it all helps to get the car ever closer to completion

All comments welcome guys
