Hi been meaning to start a project thread for a while so here it goes i bought a corsa gsi off a friend in the summer just past he travelled quite far to get it as its clean but after expensive insurance i bought it off him

heres how it looked...

then it had some big brakes fitted and stripped calipers down and powder coated green and powder coated the cesearos black and fitted stainless de-cat pipe how it looks now...

then this cool little guy...

so then it was winter the car dosent have any rust underneath or on body so car was put in garage at end of september then it was big joabs

and got some bits n pieces lexmaul inlet so have to change lower inlet also to sport one and a stainless 4-1 manifold so thats where i am now with it...

painted up...

now to start heat wrapped manifold and fitted and have made start to inlet manifold

this lower bit was not wanting to come off haynes saying its a 3spanner job got chucked in the waste oil haha

and eventually after awkward bolts it was off

health n safety aware

some oil emergency cans of kx when joabs get hard and an oily macky dz napkin for when you cut urself

and thats after joabs.. so thats where im at as of weekend past with help of corsasport jamie on here hes the main grafter in the high vis now waitin on gaskets so we can fit sport lower inlet

Hi update from weekend, so it was sunday again and for me and jamie it was time to pull another sickie from the girlfriends and go out to the garage for joabs

we got the lower half of the sport inlet now fitted didnt fit lexmaul yet as the rocker cover is now away getting powdercoated so once thats back can get it all running connected radiator back up etc aswel so its just ready to go next time im out. also got a set of front coilovers

as i think it sits a bit high on front got them cheap of a mate so will clean them up and get pics and also im just about to order a stainless piper exhaust system

i have some photos from joabs...

blanking the egr valve..
