Small update!

Fitted a new lense for the numberplate light, old one was green and mouldy, this one is clear and cost like £3.

Before

After

Swapped the wiper arms from my old red one to this one because they were new like 3 months ago and the ones on the black one were wearing.

No pics sorry!

Badgless grille fitted!

Before

After

I like it!

Hopefully gonna give her a clean later, maybe pics of the exhaust. I have the sebring 6x4 off my red one, sebring straight thru centre and a janspeed 4-2-1 manifold fitted now. Sounds, Awesome

Quick pic of the manifold before fitting, no i am too lazy and didnt wash/get a pic of exhaust

Handbrake cables were an advisory on MOT for fraying:

Glad I didnt leave it!

A pic of my two cars!

Decided toswap the seats over, this is the Black car with the sport seats out ready for the leathers:

Here is some buried treasure: (not the £2.50 i found!)

Ah a plug you say?

Seat plugged in!

Heated seat surround from Corsa CDX direct from Germany and buttons from a Calibra:

OOH heated leather seats you say?

After a hard bit of work they are out of the red car and in the black one. Wired up, plugged in. The passenger one is definately working, not quite sure if the Driver one is so may have to whip out the multimeter and test for power etc.

My personal opinion is that they look great, especially with the black doorcards and dash etc to compliment them.

Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Bought a headunit like this

But needed a bit of work to wire it up properly

Half a loom

2nd half of a loom

Bit of quality soldering,

all wires connected and heatshrink covered

I will try and get a pic of it in the car, is awsome, Just connect my USB stick to it and viola! Easy for me to put new songs on/ take out the car.

BUT WAIT - THERES MOWA

Looking at the receipts the drums are only like a year old

After a quick rub down:

After one coat (then realised i would need to cover more otherwise the rust would still show lol)

More covered lol, 2nd coat

Wheel back on

Caliper (nearly forgot to take a before pic so just shoved the caliper on)

Then forgot an after pic without the wheel lol, so heres one with a wheel

Different angle

Oh yeah, gave the wheels a clean inside and out while they were off, with some Hot rims and a sponge

Few little things to update.

Sold a rear bumper to make some monies to spend on my car!

Heres the DHL mans taking her away

Gave her a quick wash for the 1st time since owning it

(Im usually better at keeping my car clean)

Ugh! How dirty?!

A before image of Sport badges and Clear side reps:

During wash:

Old wiper blades were shagged so invested in some new rubber:

While it was drying thought i'd fit my Fiat Marea weekend wiper arm, Old blade also shagged!:

Old skool:

New :

Not really that keen on fried eggs so used Chrome bulbs off my other Corsa:

New side reps and nearly no sport badge:

Right, Some of you may think it's gay but I decided to re badge her as an opel.

For your information, this vehicle may have spent some time in Germany in it's early years and has a German headlight which doesn't align so ner ner ner.

So, One Clean wheel
