Hey all! I'm Nadine I'm 19 and from the Brighton area, I own a Red Corsa 1.4 16v Sport on a P plate! Done quite a lot of work on it which I will edit this post to write it all up as there is quite a lot! In the process at the moment of new alloys, wiring new lights in and going to polish it, as its been hit slowly by the pink! Been on here for a while but never actually started any decent threads. Would be good to get to know some off you and come to some shows and finally show my bubble off!

Nadine


This is how she looked before:




This is the work thats been done after:
2X Rear brake wheel cylinders
Complete new exhaust (want my new back box on still though)
New front disc pads
New head gasket
Cylinder head refacing
Overhaul head replaced seals
Replace hydraulic lifters
New cambelt kit
New water pump
New radiator
2x Front tyres
converted from manural steering to powersteering
Theres probably stuff I've missed!

And after:





These are the wheels I'm planning to put on, need to get them sandblasted and repainted though..


Btw ignore the stickers on the car, these are a bit old!

Was thinking of getting them sandblasted and to get them sprayed black?
