Looks outstanding Shaun it really does.

Now some nice black gear gaitor and handbrake gaitor with white stitching would finish the interior off perfectly

Really nice Shaun!

Looks wicked and the rear strut brace fits in with it nicely. The seats are a good touch aswell! Really good update

After all of the money you've spent on your car, have you not once noticed that you don't have an MFD?

Car's looking awesome mate, seats are lovely!

Cheers for the comments everyone

Jordan, its just little touches here and there now mate. Things like a false floor, gaiters etc and fixing a few little teething problems like my alarm. I've got a few little things left that Im wanting to do but I think its pretty safe to say im getting very close to a point where if I start doing much more to it im going to end up ruining it if that makes sense? After I've fitted my new alternator (next weekend hopefully) the next major thing is going to be getting the underside of the car mint. Lots of de rusting and undersealing and powdercoating

I think I'll be getting a new rear beam as well as the current one is a bit beyond it now. After that I just want to get it looking as tidy as possible ready for the show season

Mark, tell me about it lol. Tight was an understatement

Mark.W, they are on order my friend

should be here early next week!

Agree with Sean though, no MFD FTW. its good to be different lol.

It's not about being different when it comes to something so small as the MFD, surely it's about it being nice to be able to see the time and temperature lol.

I was only messing really about being different

I would like to have one but I swear this new dash loom ive put in hasnt got any spare plugs for it

Might have to have another looky. I havent got an outside temp sensor either so I dont know how I'd go about wiring one in

Lol hmm it seems odd for the wiring not to be there? And with the outside temp sensor could not just buy one form Vaux and then you would have thought the wiring would be in place for that to just attach it up?

Looks amazing now, Dash needs flocking along with black plastics in the back and a suttle steering wheel is needed

you need to remember mate, it was a basic spec corsa. although shaun done the engine conversion, he used the internal loom off an ls which didn't have the wiring for one.

Yeah my first Corsa was an LS and it had MFD and temp sensor as standard. It had all the wiring in place for rear speakers and all that extra stuff as well. But yeah, some models have hardly anything so I suppose that's the problem!

Im sure if he really wanted too, he could lick his finger open his window and put it outside, then he would know if its cool or warm and which way the wind would be travelling

My old seats suit that a treat mate, I wasnt sure what to expect but from them being in the black corsa, I think they look better in your white one, the piping was 'powder grey' if that helps shaun, looks awesome now, I love that cage in there, like the look from outside! mint!

The MFD plug is normally tied up (and separates) from the loom just to the left of the clocks, between the steeringwheel and the heater.

I've got a temp sensor for sale if you need one

Mine doesn't have the wiring for rear boot light or speakers but had the wiring for the MFD and temp sensor. Should be there Shaun, I've never heard of a Corsa not to have it

Cheers everyone!

I think im going to have to have another look then lol. Might just me being blind and not spotted the plug when I changed it all over. Anyone know what loom the outside temp sensor would connect to?

Before I try to wire that in I need to re wire in my Toad alarm asap. I've got a huge pile of wires and the alarm control unit floating about in the passenger footwell at the minute

Not ideal really lol
