no much been done on the nova front recently, due to work and andy the welders missus is due to to drop soon so kinda at a loose end so seen a few bargains pop up so snapped them up, 1st got a Oil Filter Relocation kit then bought a Courtenay Turbo Manifold
got given a mint gear gaitor
got this tape deck for the ultimate 90s look lol, will have a cd changer in the boot
and the bits needing welded are the engine bay,
as you can see its a bit of a state atm..
rear arch still cut out, gave it a coat of anti rust primer for time being

well here are update time. since posting the last update fraser (thegingerwhinger) said if i needed a hand getting the welding done he wouldnt mind helping me out so we arranged for last wednesday for the car to go to his unit, ive been working since so not been throught to see it but hes sent me some pics
the front ends been stitch welded and the passenger rear arch has been welded on, i'll just need to catty it.
thats the front end all done, back arch was next
and finally my passenger door had a few wee soft patches so they got plated up, ill waxoyl it aswell so should be fine
also be getting a disc converted back axle soon and got my old 5th softstar dropped off

since getting the nova welded i started applying filler to the rear arch, bought a 5th softstar and also seen my pal was braking a nova so getting v6 brakes, disc converted rear axle, cavalier bias valve and a spare set of doors off him.
so deffo getting there..
also been treating the corsa to a few bits,
sport orange needle clocks
tigra scuttle panel
tigra coin tray
and bought a full custom stainless, but it was on a 1.2 16v so doesnt quite fit my 1.4 8v yet but tried the back box on
also think the head gaskets away....... so might be an engine change on the cards instead of fixing the 1.4

cheers dan!
right decided i wanted a bigger engine for the corsa, nearly went down the c20xe route but decided on a x16ce off a mate, complete with f15, loom ecu transponder etc also comes with a powerbox and ill fit a 4branch and my stainless system on.
also getting a irmscher splitter from jordz so deciding on a wheel refurb in vauxhall stell grey along with painting the bumper tops and arch trims the same colour. then a set of mhws a new passenger wing and the quarter sorted and that will be me ready for next year. going be a mad rush likes but hopefully be worth it

well corsa plans didnt go ahead atm, this is the reason why (copied from png)
not getting as much done atm as id like but trying to keep getting some bits and bobs done as and when i can. right so got some more filler on the back arch and hit with some primer, still another layer to go on both sides get rid of the high and low spots. but coming out well for a 1st go. since the engines stripped ive gave it a lick of paint to freshen it, hopefully be getting that rebuilt later on in the year
also bought some vectra V6 front brakes and a disc converted back axle
some pics of the brakes and axle
tbc....

didnt plan on getting this done for a while, but had a couple days of no bad weather so took advantage off it, got the car into some primer, used 2pac from a gun, most off the cars came up pretty well, still a few imperfections with the archs and passenger wing so will get them sorted soon then i'll hit the car with some fine wet and dry and give another going over
1st up was the engine bay
next up were the wings and bumper,
and ive sold my rear axle so quickly fitted my disc axle atm just temporary though as i will need to get it powdercoated
well some good news and some bad, got paid off last tuesday so thats me unemplyed again  and theres absolutly no jobs out there atm, so i was all set for getting the car painted asap but will be on hold till ive got the money. still a bit of prep to do anyway.
anyways kev was breaking a gsi so i managed to get a lot of parts for mine, basically everything needed to complete mine :d
ended up getting a newly rebuilt e16se engine with loom, ecu, afm, 22spline shafts, mounts everything bar a gearbox. ive got a box anyway so thats that sorted. still be turbo'd, this just saves me rebuilding my old engine and sorucing ecu's and afms etc.. also got the complete gsi car loom, (that should be fun fitting) complete interior, a windscreen, tank and external pump and fuel lines, gsi servo and i think thats everything lol cheers bud
so not much needed once painted, intercooler, raditior, pipework and DV, rising rate fuel reg, suspension, polubushes, brakelines, bits powdercoated etc
comments welcome

hey guys been a while since ive updated anything with the corsa so here goes,
ive fitted 2ltr 265mm front brakes but have problems with knackered flexi's so in the process of sorting that. also bought sport 3 spokes as i was hoping to get it on the road a few weeks back but lost my job .
i also removed the rubbing strips damaging the paint on both sides, so i was getting fed up with it. but after seeing a few GSI kitted corsa's ive decided to tidy it up for summer. so 1st up i bought a gsi bumper, and a freind has a gsi rear, so need skirts and arch trims next
pic of bumper. also looking for splitter fogs and a grille.
sorry theres a lack of pics, there all on my fb so will get them transfered over when ive more time.
think im going end up spraying the 2 sides though.
