here it is my 1997 corsa sport bought off here just before christmas


a few bits i didnt like but thankfully i had a spare



first was the calibra leather






then the car lost compression in number 3 meaning it was time for the head to come off, once off it showed that no3 exhaust valve had burnt out, so head got a full rebuild, all new gaskets,seals and 16new shoney valves

since i had the money spare i bought this so on it went with my new grill
was well chuffed with it but once it was fitted i was never too sure of it


next was some small touches

matts


pins to match




also fitted a new gm lockset and delocked passengerside door handle and bought the corsa dash mat lol

now with the cesero wheels finally sold i can move to my next plan

the corsa will get painted at some point after pvs so im just going to spand me time keeping it clean and ill worry about the paint work after that

next to go on

rear disc conversion



hopefull have all this on for pvs

davie

12valver i just bought the slides and rests from a cdx, found the holes in the sport seat and fitted he slides straight in

gez c16b the arms are standard except the punto one on the rear and the front blades are just ebay efforts

Craig P, cant like everyones car mate, wheels will be powderocated black after pvs as when the car gets painted ill be gloss blacking the arches and bumper tops, and the bonnet bra lol its for the journey to pvs and back as ive enough stone chips as it is, i dont plan on it being on everyday its a 1.6 16v, no realy plans for the engine just now as shes still under 80k with full history.

mk4_boy, cheers

adz_gsi, the front seat where mint but them mixed with standard shocks and 60mm springs ment the minute you hit a bump you were bouncing all over the place so put them in my other shell and sold it

john_c20xe, lol no idea they were ment to be a mad black with purple ghost flip but then got them redone to be boring in the grey lol i can ask if you want to know right enough
