i know it ain't a corsa, and i didn't plan on making any project thread, but sadly my love for this car has grown and grown, so i wanna start "pimping" her out.
Meet FLUFF 
How i got it
few dents, sat higher than you're grandads longjohns sadly, and the cool dent.
A wash and that shit scraped off.
de-babge, and cheaply tint back lights.
Replaced the dented wing and added lowering springs
Old engine bay.
New inlet manifold + rocker cover painted, gotta it in the daylight, looks shiny as fuck, gonna do the "toyota" in red 
I only started caring for the car, the headgasket went (at 157,000 miles  ) haha
so old inlet and head off
new inlet
replaced the headgasket, failed compression ALL over, so pistons rings got fried 
so we replaced the block
future plans, still deciding, got these wheels, need tyres just standard honda civic wheels.
bucket seats, gonna sand all the interior plastics, including dash and spray it all, retrim the clothe, might do another furry roof
GOOD CLEAN! fucking looks pink!
Cheers to a few mates(Ryan and Liam) for teaching me rebuild an engine :/, helping getting in and out etc.

Does Fluff attract the fluff?

Rocker cover finished, that red was very tricky :/, but also a nice day light pic
If you wonder why theres a cold air feed, not connected to the slam panel, and notice the bodge'd radiator to the slam panel, thats why. New rad coming hehe
I'm gonna finish polishing and waxing tomorrow, maybe get them wheels on

i love steelies, but not for this one!

I'll get a thread up soon mate
I'm moving the to shells to a mates shed, and i'll strip them both down, start from the start. Doing some prep work this week, painting plastics/brakes/wheels, all the crap i can do easily hehe.
p.s anybody got a cheap red induction kit? that dodgy 3.99 blue one stands out a bit.

Offically a Toyonda now
To finish this off, i'm going to get a black bonnet, black roof, black spoiler/tailgate. Get rid of the last toyota badge. Exhaust system and thats it.
interior at somepoint, but first things first, the money pit of a corsa, i'll get a thread up very soon!
