Well time has come to reshell Fran's GSI, ( thread here http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=351996&page=3 )
The shell will need some work so we thought it would be easier to reshell and get it mint.
Bought this off Mr Firestate88 last wednesday, a nice road trip down to Northampton, boring driving at less than 60mph.


Back at my lockup

Let the stripping begin...















Next is to prep all the bodywork and engine bay, arch work, paint underneath a nice shiney black, silver
fuel tank and other silver detailing.
