Had the car for a few months now , it started life as a 1.0 only did 35k then had a c20xe fitted and then removed it after it was sold it to me. Now it's fitted with a 1.4 (X14XE) out of my black Corsa
Plans are to use it as a daily when I've finished building it but have it really low with a hint of euro mods
anyway enough Jibba jabba from me hope you like it pics now

And when I got it home with a angry looking brother XD

Missing something .....

Got this cheap off eBay

So started stripping it down further

Then started tidying up the engine bay a little bit as it was scabby

Then it looked like this for a while

And then bought some goodies

Power flow exhaust

The old header thank was nasty so ....

So gus went back on his trailer to Halifax for his engine being fitted

And the engine .....

And at MCD Vaux sat waiting

And my garage full of gus bits

And a sneaky picture from mark at MCD

And when gus returned home with a fully functioning engine

Excuse the 17" alloys ha ha

So this door is going because some nice person tried bending it back to get inside at some point :/

Got a replacement door from jib Job now

Then I bought a set of these

Really like clear depos

Then I decided to get rid of this horrible thing !

So off it came and I replaced it with this .....

The filter that was with it though needs replacing as you will see

Then I bought a tigra scuttle sprayed black as the standard Corsa one was dull

And fitted (new wipers and arms needed aswell)

And as it stands today , lights are going with the black wings

Just put those black parts on to protect it from all the bad weather
Any thoughts/ comments welcome

Surely the petrol would of been more than what the seats are worth?

Although i have done very similar trips before just for seats.

Car is starting to take shape, you're buying some sensible mods for it. I would maybe have colour coded bumpers with the black trims slammed on silver fanblades, should look good.

I'd rather pay for the petrol really than more for the seats crazy I know i love road trips

As for the bumpers they are going as you say White with the old grey bits black , not sure about the colour of the fanblades going for 100mm on the back and 80/90 on the front I think
