Had a bit of time today to have a play , so got on with a few niggly bits that needed doing still. Fitted the door looms which meant I could get the cards back on
Next up was to tackle the loom thats under the seats.
Got stuck though as some of the wires are going into another that goes towards the back of the car and I'm afraid to cut any of them incase I need them 
Might just get some manual mirrors again and forget about the E/M and E/W.

You wont need most of the ones going to the back, Id just cut them and figure it out when putting the loom into the 12v

Wiresss!!!!
The wires that I've got sitting in the heater vent are for the rear speakers and boot light so I'll be wiring them in too.
Chopped all these, just going to join them onto the ones in the 12v
Its ready to come out, its a ball ache getting the big rubber things through the pillar though
And another bit of trouble I have to sort, snapped engine mount bolt,
We should be dropping the engine out this weekend all being well.

Eventually sold my 6 spokes last night so the Corsa is now sitting on 4 GSi fans , the lad who bought them is putting them on his Corsa C, can't imagine that being a great combo tbh

Cheers pal, I haven't really got started on the exterior yet, a lot more to come
I bought some MHWs of Scotty last week, woke up to a nice parcel on for me, opened and the lights were damaged , the courier must have done a little dance on the box or something as they were fine when Scotty sent them
Decided to try them on the car to see if I liked them before I source another set, which revealed more bad news  I nice big hole right through into the wheel arch, I knew there was something there before hand but not this bad
And how the lights look, needless to say I'm looking for another set
Lets just hope nothing goes wrong this weekend when we're removing the engine as you know what they say, bad luck comes in threes

Correct me if I'm wrong but the hole is on the filler neck/inner arch, I think its a common bit for being crusty, First I've seen completely rotten through.
Good reason to clean out arches etc

Yea Alex its on the inner arch, I could see my wheel through it , wouldn't be good if I was to drive it in the rain Nothing a bit of welding won't sort.
I remember when I got it I power hosed all the arches and underneath and I remember finding a chunk of crusty metal that had fell off from some where, must have been that

I don't understand them either tbh , its a 1998.
Even in the close ups? I wouldn't be happy with them knowing they were damaged and its very obvious in the flesh. They only look ok in the overall shot as you can't see the damage in the pic
