I'll try and keep this as short as possibe. It all started 3 weeks ago when i purchesed this litte 1.4 16 valve corsa b van(v-reg). I bought it for 500 pounds.The previous owner put back windows in it to replace the pannels just before he sold it (To Me

lol)

I took the metal floor pan out the back and gave it a good clean as the car was full of dog hairs.....

After a few hours it came out looking like this..

Put the metal floor pan back in and sourced out some rear door cards and some plastics to match the front and make it look a little bit better than just bare metal

Took the toe bar off as it looked sh1t on a small car and fitted a universal s/s backbox (from argos and it was really easy to fit and sounds the muts nuts)

this is how it looked before

after a few hour or so...

after all that i got some astra clear side repeaters,vectra chrome interior door handles , a vectra smoked interior light, richbrook alloy door pins, some light up vectra sun visors and an alloy arial...

I dont know if anybodys done it on here before but i got some vectra b kerb lights and fitted them into my door pockets so that they light up when the door opens...

i got some carbon film and carboned my gear knob top...

after i was happy about what i done on the inside and outside i gave it a right good clean as it really needed it...

youll notice that its sitting on standared steel wheels as i didnt like the corsa c sxi wheels that the previous owner put on it i soon purchased some astra mk3 cdx/gls six spok alloys for 50 pound for the 5 so one for the spare wheel well....

this is the only pic iv got of them standared on my old corsa...

i soon got six tins of this...

and got my dad to do some of this...

and they came out looking like this...

thats about it. i will update as i do more things to it...Bare in mind i am only 15 and still at school with a part time saturday job and am doing this on a tight buget lol ( i like starting early)

Comments and Critisism(sp) welcome

cheers guys and gals.........

how hard was it to fit your bucket seats and would i be able to take the sub frames off my standared seats and attach them on to these would that work...or could i just bold the universal runners of these seats straight on to the floor .... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Look-Rally-Car-Bucket-Seats-IN-Grey-HUGE-SALE_W0QQitemZ150172556492QQihZ005QQcategoryZ30172QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I modified my standard sub frames to fit my bucket seats.

Dunno how much the panels are, but they're not much i don't think?

The back window you could have a limo tint, or do what i did if you've plenty of £

I don't think it will. There's a bar that runs accross with nuts welded to it for fastening down the van floor

update finally...

been busy and not had a chance to take pics really (sorry for the pic quality took on my mobile) so here goes got my alloys fitted

got front calibra leather seats for the sum of 10 pounds each lol BRAGIN

i then got 2 12inch subs and an amp, some wood and made a custom ice install which was goint to get carpeted when i had the money.....

....but then got the chance of calibra rear leather for free so....the ice install came out and the seats went in (these seats went into my corsa without any modification both parts honestly...i know some of you have sayed its not possible this pic was takes 1 hour after they were fitted and i did not do any modifications they were slightly tight but obviously the calibra is a little wider than the corsa but here is the pic).....

thats all for now people hope you like it......
