saturday, me and dave (kedowan) started on my corsa b, started out with a plan to replace a part of my centre console and putting on a new bumper but we ended up spotting some rust on the front panel, i had spare primer,paint and lacquer by chance so we set about preparing the surface and repainting it then attaching my new bumper and went a drive.

heres some pictures of progress

Was a good day, my old springs should help it out a wee bit, if I get them swapped over that is.

Updating this for (Mark mccoll) as he's rather lazy... He got the seats fitted, not bad for a freebie eh? If anyone could shed any light to what there actually from, that'd be good.

He got the bumpers n arch's 'back to black'd'

Updating it for him again...

We had fun today, polished it with some Autoglym Mark had 'lying around', fiddled around with a little motorbike and got it started eventually.

Pics...















Will upload the video tomorrow!

Seats look awful imo, don't suit the car at all!

However, car is a brilliant base to make a real nice car out of,
