Thought id make another project thread considering i gave up with my old corsa x16xe.
The engine was knackerd and i intented on converting it 2 a redtop, removed the old 1.6l and never got round 2 converting it too much money and my grandad wanted his garage back
Heres a pic of it, u may rembember it



So instead, i brought another little corsa
1.2 16v, 2 owners from new, absoloutly mint, fsh, p/s, alloys etc





Just going to be keeping it tidy tbh. Nothing too major. Thinking about dropping it on silver speedlines that im refurbing now. should look good. Hopefully in a years time once ive got some money saved up and im bored of the 1.2, then il drop another x16xe in it.

Done a couple of things to it already, fitted the sound system, 300w 6x9s, 1000w sub and amp, swapped over the cali leathers from my old corsa and dropped it 60mm





fitted a tigra scuttle i got from 12valver, along with some chavvy sparco flatblades lol



managed to refurb 2 speedlines at the moment, hopefully have them all resprayed in a couple of weeks



thats all for now

Brought some depos off 12valver as his cambelt let go, so he needs some moooney =\
got round 2 fitting them 2day, looks much better, just needs a slated grill at the front now



decided im going 2 get my speedlines professionaly sprayed instead now, ive made a bit of a cock up spraying up 1 of the alloys and just decided it would look 100% better if i sent them off 4 a proper refurb and spray job. no idea where they'l be going to get sprayed yet though hmm any body that knows a decent body shop then let me know

They work fine, but i think you need a set of cable driven clocks on a 1.2 8 valve ... you do on early ones anyhow... Cars looking good btw mate!
