right then lat night saw the end come of the 1.6 engine probably fixable but i cor be arsed as its given the perfect excuse to tKe it off road and begin the conversion prep... gonna miss driving it badly!!! however the car im now using is only a 51 plate clio 1.2 8v so ive had an insurance rebate and my premiums gone down by £50 a month so ill have a fair bit of spare money to make the corsa a little rocket... should be some updates soon then!!!!

well the corsa has been off the road for nearly a month now with the engine problem which seems to have fixed itself... bloody typical!!!!
i havent had much time with work and other stuff recently so havent done a lot one thing i have done is refurb the wheels in star silver:-


they do look better in person but i have got to get me some new center caps and vauxhall stickers for the one spoke to finish them off will update soon with that

also i have stripped the car of all the rear seats and carpet and sound deadening. havent got any pics as of yet as it isnt finshed that stuff is on well!!!!

as you can see from the pic ive wound the coilovers right down just for hahas and live hjow it looks but took it for a quick spin and drives terribly so they will be goin back up!!
jesus its loaud in there aswell haha!!
also what do people think to spraying the floor gloss back instead of silver as im going to do all roof lining black at some point aswell
thanks for reading its abit of an essay i know!
