good fun to drive in the snow and ice. makes it places no problems.

was a rover powered lada rally car at jdm. awesome thing it was.

painted the rear beam for corsa

fitted new bushes

fitted beam to car

swapped the whiteline rear arb off the other one on to it

job complete, well apart from handbrake cables. leave that for another day.

collection of snow in the inner arch from drive home. lovely stuff.

yeah cant hammer the brakes on really in the snow. lack of handbrake on way home spoilt the fun a bit aswell.

cheers for rear hubs again. gotta work out how to put a plug on them now as not much clearance between shocker mount on beam and where abs plug would go. doh.

when i bought it, it had those bk racing wheels on. been like that for over 2 years. finally time for a wheel change.

delighted with the purchase. need to chop front drive shaft end to fit centre caps on. typical vauxhalls.
