Got a bit of a project on the go. Should see more updates than my Gsi as the corsa is a daily runner so dont really do anything special to it.

So...the tigra was bought by a mate of mine a couple of years ago. Soon after he bought it he had the bad news that the piston rings had gone so he done a full rebuild on the x16xe. Engine runs spon on even after being sat without moving for months.

Its got a few problems which is why he wanted rid so for £200 my mate and I decided to buy it as a track toy for a bit of a laugh

Its got 11 months MOT but no tax so we had to get it trailored to my house (about 6 miles)

So heres a few photo's:

At his house waiting for the trailor to come



On route to my house:



All home and me thinking what to rip out first:



All the stuff we removed....and a condom



Bit better





Then we cleaned up the inside and outside but no photos of that. Looking out for a set of bucket seats and harnesses. Will have more updates next weekend when we are hoping to fit some perspex windows.

Staying with the 1.6 for a while. Make it as light as we can and hope to get a cage in it.

Bucket seats and harnesses have been bought. Should have them in by the weekend after next.

Plan for this weekend is:
-Remove rest of interior
-Remover dash, cut into half dash and get it ready to be flocked
-Source a welder to sort out some rust holes
