Hi all. Decided its about time I started a build up thread for my little corsa b. Purchased the car back in january . Went and viewed it on the saturday and decided to pick it up the sunday . Needed a little bit of tlc but nothing too major it had tax and test so wasnt to bad for just under £200. Can't actually drive it yet as am still doing lessons but cant wait to get it on the road!

Pics from the day we picked it up







First thing was a GM spoiler from ebay £0.99 Bargin

Before Paint


After


then got my self some Depo Head Lights



sports seats were next





GM Vauxhall Mats



White lockwood dail kit and interior plastics







Then i started looking round on here at other builds and started to strip the engine

Head off ready for new head gasket





got new expansion tank vs old



rocker cover in primer



how it looks now



still a long list of stuff to do but its a work in progress

all comments welcome

Nice little project mate. eBay spolier was a nice find too that rocker cover is literally making me squint though, is it like that in real life?

Can't see painted hoses lasting long, that will soon flake off.
Lights and wheels are a good addition though
