Currently...I shall go taking pics after posting a cheque...but this week I have mostly:-

Ordered and recieved myself a nice new cat converter
Arranged a date to go collect irmscher splitter
Decided on what exhaust I want (hence cheque sending session)
And thats about it...all that remains me to do is get the oil and coolant bk in the car,fit the exhaust and try starting it up!
THEN its mot time on steelies

Hmmm
Well I need to finish rear bean which should of been done for PVS then get it and a whiteline rear anti roll bar fitted.
Then next steps are to sort some front coilovers and find a turbo engine!
All thats needed is lots of money lol

sounds like we are all having a tricky time with our projects!!
UPDATE for meeee! should have exhaust on mid next week( have a proper busy weekend! family and gf stuff...) myself and mr hayes have spotted a couple of lil mods we are going to TRY work out how to do! mainly cosmetic yet functional...answers on a postcard! I am also taking donations for wheels and tyres...a couple of quid off people into my paypal would be much appreciated!(hmmm long shot! maybe the sympathy vote isnt the way to go? maybe I need a hostage to randsom)
Ains the rear beam sounds good...a quiet at work afternoon jobbie? and ben...*shakes head* ben ben ben you couldve had the shell off robin by now and some progress if you wasnt such a dog on heat
Hmmm would it be cheaper to get a petrol tank fabricated? although they need pressure testing dont they? have you looked in the demon tweeks motorsport catalogue?
I ALSO hoovered mine alex...we are sooo domesticated

I picked up my new corsa just over a week ago, £700 + My nova for the corsa with a boot full of extras the guy hadnt got round to fitting, For that price i expected quite a few things to need doing, after giving the car a quick look over the only major problems are :
- Needs a rev counter wiring up
- Need to change a coolant hose as one drips a very small amount
- A few small rust patches need sorting and the drivers door could do with a respray.
So far i have stripped out the rear and fitted a rear strut brace, fitted new front suspension as the manifold was about 1cm off the floor, started to tidy the engine bay up, but new discs and pads on.
Plans that i can have hopefully completed by the end of september are:
-Wire in Rev counter, oil pressure + temperature gauge.
- Have the door resprayed and the body work sorted out
- fix the coolant leak
- Have harnesses fitted
-Maybe strip the car further, remove all the sound deadening and spraying the inside.
Pics of my progress here:
