Astra is there overnight tonight as they're doing the arch mods and it needed a bit of paint, so I got a lift back to my mums where the Corsa is stored. Drove it home to mine, drives so much better than that Astra

Going to work tomorrow in a suit driving a boy racer car then I'll have two cars in town which means leaving the Corsa there, with MarkWs bootlid in the back and some instructions to clean it up a bit. Luckily for me matching white paint is difficult and I don't really want to apply dull white just to match whats on there. Looks like its getting a full fresh coat of absolutely bright as you can base white same as the rally cars.

Its happening

Yeah I think thats a better option than trying to match the old stuff. Will fix the rust on the leading edge of the roof and the wings as well. Also going to get it on a ramp and make sure the underneath is sound, throw on a bit of underseal perhaps. Basically make sure it will last another 13 years

Not sure, might throw new front wings on depending how they look underneath, nothing cosmetic though unless anyone has ideas. Its already got Vectra handles and painted boot handle. Might smooth a late boot handle same as my Sport.

Not sure what else.

Might smooth the kit
