Thought I might aswell finally get a project thread started on my Sport. Got alot of plans for it for the future. Hoping to get it pretty ready for PVS '10, and even more ready for TVL '10. 
Here's some pictures from when I brought, has changed abit now, has got standard rear lights now, and the GSi badge is off.
and a quick photoshop from a friend of mine, on how i'd like it to look. But this is GSi skirts, and i'm hoping for some Steinmetz skirts for it.
What has been brought so far for it, and to be fitted this Friday, for PVS.
Sportex 4-2-1 manifold, de-cat pipe, centre section, and 3" round tail.
Just temporarily for PVS Jamex shocks, and 60mm springs.
Powerflex exhaust bushes.
heat wrap for exhaust.
Hoping to pick some Steinmetz skirts up this weekend too, and then i'll be getting the Irmscher air dam repaired as it's cracked. Top of bumpers, arches, washers, scuttle panel, and skirts will get done in Antharite, just to help get rid of some of the black, and door handles and boot lock will get sprayed same colour as the car.
After PVS i'll be fitting 16x7.0j Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's in white, and AP Racing adjustable coilovers ready for TVL. 
Will update this next Sunday when everything is fitted, and i've come back from Worksop on a weekend with mates.

So as you guys know I had some problems with my car last weekend with a garage messing up bits, but I show you the work that me and my mates did before it got aloud of important bits being blowtorched by some cocksucking badgers.
The new parts,
Suspension is only temp until I can get some AP coilovers.
How badly kerbed is that wheel. :O
This is how it Sat on the Friday night.
So on the Saturday, we cracked on again.
Then it sat like this on the Saturday afternoon.
So on the Sunday after it had broken down on the Saturday night from the damage being done we went to Columbo Park to take some pictures.
As we found out from driving it and finally looking at the offset of the wheels, being ET32. :O They were rubbing like a bitch at the front, can't wait to get the new rims in July time. I have borrowed some wheels off my mate on the front, only two as he hit a pot hole with them on his Astra, but had them on his Corsa too, the offset still isn't right right, but they don't rub, and will do for PVS, as he doesn't care about them, and they have vertually new Toyo Proxies on them. So this is how it looks now after putting them on on Monday.
and yes I know it looks odd atm, but this is a work in progress, and things take time to do, and it'll get there in the end.
Plus just to show what it's like, here it is on my mates drive way.
Next job whilst i'm saving for the alloys from 2 months wages, some bodywork repairs, and bits painted and fitted.
Comments and criticism welcome.
