Hi all

After not owning a Corsa for near 2 years I've recently bought one at a steal price.
My sister had it for 6 years but she upgraded to a D about 6 months ago, so this has more or less been stood since then and is currently flame pink, although the pictures don't really show how pink it actually is.

I offered £300 pounds as it was in those pictures, and seeing as though she had just come off holiday and needed some cash, she quickly accepted.

If nobody knows me heres my first post with my first corsa in 2010 http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=578919&page=1

Plans:
Clean it up, c20ne conversion, 2.0 brakes, big block shafts, hubs etc, everything involved with the conversion basically. I will be taking pictures every step of the way as I am learning aswell. Calibra leather interior, some alloys, and I shall see were I end up.

Gave the car a bit of tlc on the bodywork yesterday. I washed it the night before so I could get up Sunday morning and get straight to it. Firstly I used auto glym paint renovator, then Meguiars rubbing compound, then meguiars wax, then meguiars polish. I have to say the results put a huge smile on my face.

Roof:

The bonnet was the worst, but looking sweet now.

The wings came up good:

I've got some German rear lights and some recaros that would suit this. Looked great on mine. Check my build thread out below

German rears are exactly what I plan on having, but not on my high priority list at the moment as all funds are going into the conversion first to get it done nice and properly with decent parts etc. But if you still have them when I get round to it I will definatly have them they look sweet. Cheers mate

Cheers mate, that's what I thought but the trouble is finding someone to get advice about it because not many people have done this, well nobody that I know anyway.

as far as im aware you need the same conversion kit as the c20xe and theirs about 4 or 5 different wires in the loom when it comes to matching it to the standard loom in the kick panel
