Ok. I did have another project thread but that got a bit too much if am honest so going to start a fresh one with my new corsa b.

Was an Ebay buy to start with, not to shabby and it is still red. Not pink. Red.

Here she is the day after picking her up;









So basically got taking bits from my grey corsa project onto the red one;



So she stodd for a wek or so like this;





Until i got the back to black out on the bumpers/arches and gave her a clean;









Inside needs a good clean though like. So please bear with it, is coming along nicely i think.

Spec so far;

Spax RSX Coilovers
Corsa GSi front seats
Corsa GSi rear seats
Corsa GSi front/rear door cards
Corsa GSi dials
Corsa GSi steering wheel

Bought and ready to go on/in

Hi/low H.I.D headlight conversion
C20XE
V6 front brake setup
Corsa C SXi alloys

all comments, suggestions welcome and taken on board

Nice Corsa, especailly once the 2.0 goes in!
Prefer those Astra alloys to C SXi ones tho.

marc - it is on the top couple of pics until i fixed it mate

luke - they are set at the lowers at -80mm at the minute. will be goin up a fair bit so its driveable once the XE is in

dav - cheers mate. am not to sure what to do to be honest. the problem i have is the v6 brakes dont fit with those alloys. with the sxi wheels i reckon they should do

well scoobler popped round tonight and i blagged him into fitting the HID kit. little did i know a blind monkey could do it, still doubt whether i would e able to. but anyways let the pics do the talking







this was THE most important job, keeping hold/track of the cable ties. this was left down to me!!





and the results;

not sure why the right hand side is slightly blured. will look into it at a later date. the wires also need tidying up. will do that in the daylight, i was just being impatient and wanted to see them working lol :beer:
