Steve! · 28-02-2007, 23:15

15 years old, you have a car there better than some 30+ year olds on this forum.

djedstar · 28-02-2007, 23:22

Colonel K · 28-02-2007, 23:24

Steve! · 28-02-2007, 23:49

Yes, as they say in the trade,, less is more!

Jimbo · 01-03-2007, 13:34

'Kin'ell boy! Did you do the welding as well! Or was that your dad? Christ when i was 15 I was more bothered about smoking,trying to drink, and desperately trying to look and act cool enough to get some spotty wench to give me a fumble round the back of some garages!

Stick in it could be the start of a career in the future..

Pablopancake · 01-03-2007, 13:43

good stuff

kennybarbour · 01-03-2007, 13:44

good stuff, how tricky and annoying is it to change to blue LEDs? and where do you get them from? it looks cool i might do it to my car, half the white LEDs are fecked anyway

djedstar · 02-03-2007, 01:12

not very hard mate just a straight swap

kennybarbour · 02-03-2007, 01:38

pre 97 have a flat plastic badge similar to those found on nova bonnets etc but post 97 have a raised chrome moulding type badge. as far as i know thats the difference but im sure the young man will be able to tell you himself if im wrong

Pablopancake · 28-03-2007, 10:30

i love these budget projects, top stuff

Jack · 28-03-2007, 10:51

Impressive, bargain at £90!

And as you're only 15, you've got plenty of time to make it nice.

A 1.2 Corsa is plenty fast enough when you're young like us.

I love the springs, the LEDs and the general welding and spraying that's going into this.

Personally, I'd have used white LEDs because blue and red don't really work.

And I don't like the position of the badges.

But I love the car.

Just promise us you'll stay away from bodykits.

Nemesis · 28-03-2007, 10:58

djedstar · 28-03-2007, 11:11
