You dont hang about do you 
Looks mint mate some step down fanblades in gloss black would look smart.
Are these 1.8 engines plug and play and drop in on the mounts no bother?

When the money is there, it will be spent...
The vectra engines will drop straight in on the mounts, astra engines are a tad different.
The wiring is easy, only 9 wires involved. Its just the fuel system that is most complex and even that is easy.

Not sure if he does wheel refurbs tho. Because he's like a metal fab bloke that does things like soild parts. Like beams, lower arms, drive shafts... Not things that require a skill like wheels lol

Little Update,
Bought a van for work purposes so now the corsa just sits on the drive, finally decided to do something with it now.
Thought id start by getting rid of the seats, they have done me justice but time to get something different.
Gone! And their replacements for the time being.
I'm not going to go GSI interior these are just temp, they will be up for sale in about a months time.
Then noticed that the interior wasn't that clean by all means its actually fine but i want better. Not sure weather to go carbon or cleaner Sport interior.
The door cards are for sale here: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=625857
Also finally got round to getting the cav slabs powder coated and new tyres fitted.
And a random pic from when it was last on the road

Little Update,
Bought some new outer lamps for the moretties off ebay which arrived this week.
Also bought a set for Pasky off here for his lamps, told him his goods had arrived and got invited round to help do some work on his corsa, and what a surprise i was in for.
Arrived to find him trial fitting morettes..
And then he fitted his new lamps
Then after a while of starring at this..
He decided he was going to do some more work on it which involved, Drive shaft seals, diff pan seal, rear main seal on the engine.
Dont have many pictures off the work but...
Car comes out the garage, jacked up, and work commences.
Also he decided he was going to replace some of his bushes on the front arb for better polybushes whilst it was off.
Then just before it was about all go back together, he decided to remove the aircon as it no longer worked.
Fitted a baileys header tank aswell
And a new pea shooter exhaust....
Not my doing...
Previous work that i have photos off...
Flocked dash going in..
All in.
A + B + C pillars flocked, not good pic but
Replaced his old belts with..
Also had the rear of his seats carbon vinyl'ed
Random picture of beading
More to come on the corsa's soon.

Got them through a mate's mate. The lights were not bolted down or adjusted when that was taken so a bit all over the place.
