Time for me to add the biggest change to the corsa.

Sent some pictures into total vauxhall mag last summer and they made it into the Hall Of Fame August 2009 which i was chuffed about



After much thought and debate over the last 12 months i finally took the plunge after i was offered a x16xe with 50k on it off dezzy.kay on here that he was breaking which had been standing over a year.




New service parts including clutch,water pump,belts ect




4 weeks later it was time

Dezzy,aaron & craig carried out the conversion for me

Started Friday evening 7pm







Old engine removed and new one mounted by 12am

work carried on at 9.30am










Conversion complete up & running by 5.30pm




New engine cover bought off MJ on here to tidy things up for a bit.



More updates to come (watch this space)

Next small mod i did was to remove the badges that i debated on doing for so long as i was afraid the colour would be different underneath but was fine when i removed them

Breeze badges off


Boot de-badged


Also removed the black fascia from my old 1.2 8v clocks that had the chrome rings on as i didn't like the Grey fascia on the sport clocks,looks loads better imo.
