I have been bullied into making another one of these so here it is.
I have now got myself a 98 Arden blue 1400 sport after my last ocrsa was written off, some of you may already know about this.

This is how my old one ended its life:



And this is my new one:






It consists of a 1.4 sport with all the luxury toys like remote central locking, leccy windows and mirros, electric sunroof and pwersteering.
But its also had some other fun bits like lowered 60mm on G-max shocks and springs, K&N induction filter, sports cat, straight through centre pipe, a 4" jap can exhaust (which i want to change but dont have the money atm) and 2.0litre front brakes, this all came with the car.
Once i got it i de-badged and de-stickered, put my old 15"alloys on and colour coded the engine to match the car with an opel badge for personal touch:




In the near future i hope to change the backbox, tinted windows, de-badged grille, either standard or black rear lights, get some sort of sound system sorted then do some bodywork stuff like semi-smooth boot. Also i need to get some new plates made up

Hope you all like, any comments and suggestions would be helpful

you're not going to like what i swapped for them.......15" tigra 5spokes, to much of a boring look, also the profile on tyres was too big and scrubbed on the wheel arches badly but cheers for the comments guys, much appriciated

what do people think of the engine cover? My first time spraying

Cheers for the PM with the link dude,

Oh aye, Looks a bit diff now...

When i bought this it had a dodgy engine that turned out to have a burnt out valve, plan was to chuck a redtop in but i ended up buying my old corsa back,

When i got it...

-60mm Gmax,
16in Speedlines,
Cat back stainless,
K&N (still in my garage)
Ally strut brace (still in my garage)
2.0 brakes,
mantzel inlet (thats what killed it)
Heated unknown seats fully working with rear armrest also, V-comfy seats,
Random steering wheel,
White dials,
Opel badges all round,
etc...






Shame i never got it on the road, but i am glad to see its back again, I'll also let brett know also, i know he misses this car,

Keep us posted

Yep, good old epsom downs, tis a nightmare getting up there though from the effingham way, lots of speed bumps

Cheers for the comments guys, glad you like it.

Quick question, Do you think i should get german style plates like my last ones, or just plain standard size ones???
