Its been a while as Ive taken the corsa off the road so I can tidy it all up to how I want lol
Ill start off by showing some of the parts ive been collecting staring with my gsi steering wheel and standard gear knob

next up my depo headlights id been after a set for a while and these popped up cheap so had to have them



they were a bit grubby when I got them but I soon changed that


now they are all ready for my stainless bolts to hold them in place

and the pair together after id cleaned them up

cleaned up then arches ready for painting

that's a huge improvement from this

and finally gave the car the treatment washed, clayed, machine polished and waxed and while I was at it I fitted my wind deflectors not the best update I know but there will be a lot to come

Not been many updates as ive just been collecting parts but did this this weekend

started by putting my depos in and smoked indicators of course everything had to be cleaned before it all went back in lol




Then I stripped the interior out of the corsa as id sold it ready for the next part of my plan same again everything was cleaned before it went back in



the seats will be getting retrimmed in black leather with blue stitching and the headlining will be going suede along with the pillars also ill be adding a show cage I know not many people like them but don't want a full on fia cage lol

got a few bits done to the corsa and collected just a few more parts .
Started of by de-texturizing my centre consul ready to paint it. I didn't want a lairy colour as I wanted to keep it looking fairly standard but in the end I went for BMW Sparkling graphite grey



As you can see from the pictures its not lairy in any way or form and still looks fairly standard heres a picture of it fitted excuse the crappy photo it was getting dark lol

I've had the strut brace for a while and was going to get it powder coated silver but decided to polish it up instead heres what it looked like before I started

then after a while it started to look ok

Then the finished product im very happy with the outcome the ends have been shot blasted and will go the same colour as the centre consul
While I was at it I whipped the bonnet stay off to do the same thing
Before

During

And Fitted

I think it will go nicely with they strut brace and the polished bolts that I have
