i've made a project thread because corsa_scotty won't shut up about it so here we go.

as some of you might remember i had a seh caribic blue corsa,then i had to scrap it, so i bought a black 1.4 sport with the 1.6 engine in but now im back with another caribic blue project, its and m reg sri 8v with 116,000 on the clock its a cat c write off at the moment because its a stolen recovered car that i found on ebay for cheap so i went for it.

the body work has alot of rust on it but i work in a bodyshop so an easy fix, it also needs a new ignition system inside as the old one wasn't their

i have had it two weeks so far and in that time i got pissed off with how it looked so i have lowered it 60mm on jamex springs (only for now), fitted front calibra leathers (only want front ones as the back will be stripped), fitted depo smoked headlights and green dash bulbs and on thursday im going to pick up some new wheels for it and order my ignition parts, then hopefully next saturday i will be picking up a gsi front bumper and a new bonnet with astra gsi vents in

sorry for the essay haha but heres some pictures of it

if u dab a bit of clear nail varnish on your LEDS it should 'in theory' spread the light behind the clocks a little more

if its only while its sitting there you might aswell have chopped your standard springs and saved the money..

there about £60 for the springs arnt they?
