as u lot know i bought a corsa from lad called kev up in edinbrough bout 6weeks ago now i think!
well this is how i got it:-
looked good in pics, it was a mess really but had potential i thought!
so started work on it bout month ago now.......
smoothed door handles off just skimmed with filler roughly for now:-
extended the boot but to follow the boot line down to the bumper
roof rails welded up and skimmed with filler, all rough for now
took skirts off and mounted them lower cos the front bumper is really low rear is low but skirts were not so now they match up betta!
plastic arches off and making new ones:-
just extended down the arch really to give it a lower look and change the shape a little, summit different that wont crack cos its all metal also
more metal weled on to skirts now to give them more strength also
one metal strip to give me a guide to weld up the rear lights
striped welded across to give strength
front arch extentions welded on
arche fibreglassed over the top and skimmed with filler, just very rough still
rear arch fibreglassed and skimmed with one layer of filler
had the car out to get over the pit to make more brackets for skirts to make sure they are solid so took few pics, rear lights skimmed with fibreglass and filler still rough tho
sure alot wont like wot i am doing, just using the car to practice skills really and do something bit different from normal at same time! have smoothed the skirts in now also but not got a pic yet of them! its getting there tho
wot u guys think???

I think your doing a cracking job, even if it doesnt look great at the end at least its been a good guinea pig for you to try new stuff on. Should look good anyway, interesting thread too keep it updated. What rear lights you using? theres a good pic of a corsa with Clio rear lights and the tailgate is similar to that
Edit: just looked again looks like your relocating the rear lights

either wanna mount lights behind some vents in the rear bumper so u cant actually c them or just mount trailer lights in the rear window so u cant really c them normally cos windows are timted but will c them when they are being used!
need to sort out new rear bumper cos this one is cracked loads and not worth using really!!! also will start on front light conversion soon also!
so far wot work i have sone has cost..........£50tops, just the time spent really
