Well heres ma Corsa project
Started like this -
Had a set of Morettes before I even bought the car, also the Speedlines off of the Nova. Also a set of 60mm front and 40mm rear lowering springs. Within 2 days it was looking like this -
Then as I couldnt drive it sat on my runway for a wee while, which in that time I bought this grille -
and repositioned my indicators here -
I then set about doing the sounds in it, which consists of an Alpine head unit, 3 Alpine ams, Alpine components and 2 Alpine subs -
Another pic of the front whilst I wasnt driving -
Once I passed my test it was time for some better pics -
A few months after driving, I hit a ptehole and mangled 2 of my wheels -
So I took them down to my work, heated them and knocked them back into shape, balanced them and put them onto the back and they have been fine since.
Once into the summer it was F&M show ( yes I did remove my back springs) -
I got bored one day at work so took my headlight out for a cold air feed -
I then burst my rad and never bothered to sort it therefore causing head gasket failure, so i set about doing the head on it -
I never had a job at the time so whilst waiting on making some cash to buy my head set I buggered around with some of the bits -
Changed the shocks for Koni's
Polished my throttlebody,
before -
After -
I also dod some rough headwork  -
Then fitted my leather interior -
Thats about all the pics ive got up to date. I did get the head rebuilt, but due to a fault in Vauxhalls shitty design the head was fucked. so I sourced another 1.2 engine and swapped it over. It runs perfect now!
On the way back home from castle douglas last week I hit another pot hole, resulting in another fuked speedline  I decided to bite the bullet and order a brand new set. I will get some decent pics soon.
Well thats enough for now until I get more pics

Cheerz lads
Snapped the gear linkage in it last night so thats it offthe road until I get everything i need to done to it.
Had a check over it at work tonight and so far it needs -
2 ball joints, brake pads, radiator, gear linkage, tracking done, headlight bulb and some other daft things.
Gonna get my standard interior vaxed and put back in, strip and paint all of my hubs, drums, bottom arms and stuff, underseal all of the arches and get it g3'd to get all the light scratches out of it. Will hopefully get some more pics soon

Yeah thats what i mean, not a fan of the lights either, but something about that pic just says, you must have these lights.
I dunno if its when morettes are color coded, or the daft indacators people put in the bumper that puts me off, but they look mint!! Nice one mate.

My old grill 
And looks so alike my old Corsa! Makes me miss it
I wish I could do half of what you've done to that car yourself when I learned to drive, like take the engine to bits to fix stuff etc.

looks good, not a fan of the morrettes though. I think a semi smooth boot would really suit that. And a debadge.

Quite a few cleaning products in the last few pics
And agreed... de-badge or a semi smooth boot would look cool, and colour code the arches and bumpers maybe?
