Far from a corsa (not owned a corsa for a couple of years.) picking it up next week.




Plans are more aggressive tyres, winch isn't working so either repair and replace the synthetic rope or replace full winch.
Rock sliders.
probably more lift with cranked arms etc for more flex.
CB radio

Then decide on what everyday car to buy as this will just be a weekend toy and for the missus to take the dog out in instead of her MR2.

Any pics?


My little update, serviced it.
Took it greenlaning and crashed it into a mates defender after a big slide down a hill.
Clutch is dead, not sure if its master cylinder, slave cylinder or release arm.

Loving the challenge truck, I can't afford 35s how much for the tyres and winch out of interest?

Fixed clutch, master cylinder had two bolts missing and was flexing when pedal was pressed, nob head bodging pikey cunt of a previous owner

New winch fitted and wired up, no pics as is looks exactly the same as the first picture.
Also fitted new temp gauge, new thermostat housing gasket and put a jubilee clip on the pipe that goes to the turbo actuator that keeps popping off leaving me with even less power

Next job, fix the electric windows and rear spot lights and sort drivers door handle out.

Also going to pick up some tube to make up some tree sliders.

Shit project thread
