well seen as this is where you put it think i will show how mine has come along.
This is how it was when i bought it


Had it a day and changed the rear lights

Then on the sunday me and my mate took the suspension and the wheels and othere bits off my old corsa and put them on my new one.


this is how it stayed for a couple of months



was bored one sat so decided to paint the cover


my brother and me went to autosport show in brum and saw these wheels

so they had to be bought. along came black angel eyes as well



went to the pod and bought a new grill

this is how it stayed for a while


then got some standard rear lights which i think look better




then valver fever kicked in. so made a few inquireys and founf this engine

so bought it and then had it in the garage for bout 4 months while i got all the other bits i needed and while i saved up. Then it went to Top Gear in Burnley for the conversion




had full stainless system put on and fitted 2litre brakes




and thats as it stands now.


hope ya like.

Washed the car before christmas and what ever they used decided to turn my bonnet pick and leave rough as fcuk. Had been contemplating a new bonnet, wrote a few U2U's but no joy.

Anyway Peter off here (Wagsta) made me an offer i couldn't refuse so progress started on my bonnet.

here are a few picys.






Will put more on as i get them.

If you can make picys bigger then please do

Looks ace that car, it doesn't follow the usual speedlines and Gsi kit and i think that's why i like it so much. Everything seems to work styling-wise. Good looking motor there mate, well done

Right then the bonnet arrived so just had to get it fitted asap. So shifted alll the shite from the front of the garage so i could get the front part in


Just a pic to show you what it was like before the face lift


Right so off with the old bonnet

wonder what the red thing is in there

First pictures of the bonnet just fitted and all lined up




So then the day after whilst on work took some picys in the day
