Decided to knock up a progress blog for my car as ive had one for all of them previously etc.

Quick spec

1997 corsa 1400 sport shell in arden blue
Dizzy type 20xe (traction control) fitted
F20 gearbox
cav inner cvs on gsi shafts
Proper conversion mounts
Cavalier turbo 288mm front brakes
Fucked shocks with 60mm springs at front
Monroe rear dampers with 100-110mm rear springs
Sportex 3inch outward rolled backbox on straight through stainless system
Cavalier Gsi alloys painted satin black with 50profile tyres all round
Home depo front lights
Satin black front grill
Satin black roof
Satin black arches and bumper tops
Calibra black leather front and rear seats

So thats basically it atm. Got new gas filled dampers to fit to the front as drivers side one at present is shot to shit. Also need to fit new ecotec adaptor plate and sort out possible air leak causing minor problems. Got other plans in the pipeline too but i`ll put them up later. Few pictures to go with my waffle. Comments welcome good and bad

When previous owner first got it




how previous owner had it before he part exed it to me




after i got it, he kept his g60steels so i put my tigra alloys on





calibra leathers vectra door handles too




arse end




side on




head on




xe





cheers. paul
