AT LAST!!!!!!!

its finally completed and running, full mot and tax as of yesterday morning.

few teething problems, nothing major, as from last post, gear linkage ball joint popped off, and lost speedo..

found the speedo problem just now, the mechanical drive had seized and snapped. new 1 at vaux for 10quid so im happy

Took it out last night after work, and on the way back, come off a single bit of road onto a dual carragiway only for a pimped mondeo with clip on tail pipe to decide to play with the corsa...wrong move...

let him get beside me and then booted it, only to leave him for dust. only took it to about 80 tho, once id proved a point.

for any1 thinking of going xe route DO IT, im well chuffed

Going down that route (at long f**king last )

Did you do ALL the work yourself including the Wiring? planing on doing it all myself just the wiring bit worries me is there much involved?

Good to hear another Corsa shows the boys with the blue oval the way aswell
