my first car project-long term!

gazzer16 · 20-11-2006, 16:54

hi everybody!!!
my name is gary and am all new to the vauxhall scene-so as you can imagine im trying to make up for lost time!!!
i started out by buying this 1994 corsa 1.2!! the car is taxed and tested with 80k on the clock!!!! first of all i changed the wheels to a set of cav gsi 15in rims!!!! this progressed on to changing the clocks, pipercross cone ,front bumper(new shape) ,side repeaters head unit and a full service!! ALSO done alot of other small bits to brighten it up!

THIS IS THE CAR WHEN I GOT IT!!!(EXCEPT FOR THE WHEELS-I COULDNT STAND THE STEELIES)

my buddy corsa-mans car steped in for a pose !!!!

after that i changed the bumper

then a set a fancey number plates

and then the clocks and the head unit!!! (109k on the clocks because thats what was on the car they came off)

i gave the engine a full service and am currently in the middle of changing the back shocks!!

at christmas i will lower it 60mm and a spoiler and a gsi interior!!!

i have a 1.8 vectra engine that im thinking about putting in but we will see!!!! hope you like my car!!!! and as im only 16 i would be greatfull of any advice!!!

thanks fello migers!!!

dont bother with the 1.8 if you are still 16, as you will be well and truly fingered up the bum for insurance!

any more pics of the rallycross corsa? (i think its rallycross anyway)
