Thought it was about time I started a project thread for my corsa.

Last year I bought a Black sport with a fooked engine and decided the only thing for it was XE time.

Here's how it was when I first got it. Snow



Engine from:



Couple of pictures when the dismantling started:




One nearly complete corsa



Ready to go to powerflow a few weeks back, just had to wait for it's booking



Outside powerflow with new exhaust on friday. My first thought was "massive back box" but it doesn't look too bad in the flesh. Have to say they've done a nice job and it sounds spot on.


Got a few plans and bits and bobs to put on it yet but just want to get it on the road first. I'll keep the thread updated from now on so it's a bit more interesting

It's going in for an MOT tomorrow so fingers crossed it's all ok. Just cant wait to get her on the road, no dout ill have a nice fail list to complete first though

Updates tomorrow

It's been a while since I updated this thread. Im pretty useless TBH. Been driving about with the XE fitted for just over a year now, just been enjoying it really.

Fitted a few bits to tidy it up at bit.

Smoked plates went on last year.
BBS were fitted around april time
Carbon Bonnet and Rear Anti Roll bar were fitted in July

Also removed the badges and went over it with a mop to correct the paintwork

Here's a couple of pics of how it looks now anyway.






Stripped out the rear since the pics as wanted more speed and has raised the rear up a bit which makes it look alot better.

Plans are to strip the interior more and just enjoy it for now
