| Aamir's Opel Corsa-A 16v
Aamir's Opel Corsa-A 16v
Been on the scene for a few years now, quietly hiding & working away
in a lilttle corner, whilst some people like to spend their time
building w.i.p threads, i spent mine building this......
Started life as a basic mint condition 1.6i GSi in Mistral Grey, like this...  
------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the simple but iconic look of the 90's it looked like this.....
(After full colour change, 2.0i 16v fitted with full overhaul & new parts, sensors, gaskets, etc)     
Tell most people you have a nova & they tend to frown or laugh,
afterall it's easier gettin rep just owning a vdub (even if it's a shed)
but where the challenge/fun in that ? (big up chandler's saxo !)
------------------------------------------------------------------
After 8k, inspiration from the Opel scene in Europe,
lots of help from my Brother (DubStyle) & a few good friends;
(Venom Customs, Kelvin Conversions, RS Transmissions, RS Electroplating & PureKlas) it's it's finally finished
(well sort of).......          
------------------------------------------------------------------

Crikey! Nice & bling under the hood. Looks realkly classy & so simple, 2 colours on the exterior pretty much.
Did you ever get the running issues sorted with the engine? (while back now)
Love the Recaros & armrest too. I have some Recaros for mine but it looks like a lot of work to get them in on Nova subframes.

More pics please... | Interior is Ford RS Turbo, custom rear bench (headrests still to go on)
Wheels fitted using PCD adapters, machined down for clearance, they're skinny  with Front & Rear arches rolled. Std. shocks rub against the wheels, so 4 custom made coilovers were ordered from GAZ, they're skinny too | |

Benn, the std dampers rub against the wheels. Aamir has had narrow coilovers custom made by the sounds of it. | |
